Marquise gems are no longer Account Bound on PTR. Is this a bug? The patch notes still state:
"•A new tier of account-bound gems of has been added to the game: Marquise "
I know that placing Marquise gems into a Item last patch build made the item BOA, even after they were removed. You've stated this was a bug, which has been fixed in the latest build.
So has this fix created a new bug where the gems are also no longer bound or is this intentional?
Non bound Marquise GemsSource
As noted in the patch 1.0.7 PTR patch notes, Marquise gems should be account-bound, although the designs for them are not account-bound.
There’s currently a bug on the PTR, however, that’s causing some slippery Marquise gems produced by Covetous Shen not to be account-bound. But we've had a chat with him, and those gems should become account-bound shortly as well – either in a future PTR build or once 1.0.7 launches.
(Note: Socketing a Marquise gem into an item will make that item temporarily account-bound. Once the gem is unsocketed, though, the item will no longer be bound.)
