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.
If they made loot in D3 bind at all I would be done with the game completely.
There are 5 classes and tons of RNG on items. Even if the increase the chances of getting good items with good affixes you will ALWAYS hit a point where personal upgrades seem to stop dropping. This is a statistical fact, it is written in stone and there is nothing you can do about it.
Once you hit that point you will need to use the AH or trade.
What kind of moron is going to drop 10+ million gold on an item knowing they will never be able to resell that item once they upgrade it again because it binds? Only losers with no life who can play D3 8 hours a day from their mommy and daddies basement. This isn't WoW, this is Diablo. Items don't bind in Diablo.
Also your paying the game comment eludes to you aiming your tirade at RMAH. If people want to use RMAH they are more than capable of selling drops on it and never having to "pay" anything. Common sense is not strong in your post.
