There are all sorts of heirloom items in game now, and most of them give leveling bonuses, chests, cloaks, shoulders, weapons and more. It's a great way to deal with special pets and such. It also helps address the drag of leveling more characters when you already had a few at max level. But has it just been taken too far? Many old time favorites such as the Mug O' Hurt, Staff of Jordan and Robes of Insight are now obsolete. Is there any point in selling them, buying them or equipping them any longer? Should anymore BoA items be added or is there already too many? Is there any other way you'd like to see the bind on account option used?

Only if it were true bind on account across factions. Whats the point of BoA if you cant get it for all of your characters?

Go look at how EQ2 does it if you want to see how overboard it can get. Every single raid drop item is Bind to Account. (Though it is Bind on Equip as well as BoA, so no shifting it around.) Raid drops are also not only limited to those who were there for a kill, therefore there's a lot of raid-drop items being sold.

I cross faction mail my BOA items all the time. Cross account at the same time.
Give it a try.

He is correct.
Why is the Staff of Jordan obsolete now? I am currently using it on an alt.

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

ANYTHING being Bound has gone overboard.
Only Legendary items should ever be bound in my eyes but the BoA stuff has a big hurdle to cross before being really bound on account

Well, not ruined, but it's certainly an unnecessary holdover. Bind on pickup was called 'no drop' in EQ and was brought in to prevent monopolization of the drops from non-instanced mobs, especially by people who sold them for real money. However it is purely a mechanical construct that has no large scale comparison in original RPGs - if you wanted to sell your uber sword to someone else, then by gods you could.
As in almost all things, Blizzard took a concept from another company and installed it without really understanding what it was there for.
