Background:
Original Diablo designer suggests Bind on Equip and says AH ruins game.
Jay Wilson acknowledges the AH "short circuits" the thrill of the loot hunt.
Jay Wilson says they were too conservative with good drops (probably out of fear of flooding the AH & further short circuiting the experience).
________________
The Fix:
Account bound for the best gear. That's right, if you want the best gear, you've got to earn it.
Bind on equip for the 2nd tier. This will keep the most valuable gear from flooding the market, because it can only be used once. No more wearing somebody else's sweaty armor.
Free for all for all other items. If you want a fast upgrade, you can still go to the AH thrift store.

With this fix, Diablo can now drop legendaries and matching sets more often than once in a blue moon.
Diablo can drop valuable items without worrying about the short circuiting. And with Account bound for the best items, you will be rewarded for PLAYING the game, not PAYING the game.
