Help! Patch crits roleplayers for +5000!
Bad news for roleplayers: with the new patch letters are soulbound.

Which is very, very bad for us roleplayers, because we used those letters for as all kinds of roleplaying gimmicks: treasure maps, tickets, 'official' documents, invitations, etc.
Without this possibility we lose a very important roleplaying tool. I and a lot of other roleplayers are NOT HAPPY.

We already opened a suggestions thread on the European (German) forum and asked Blizz to remove the BoP again. But we fear that petitions from European servers won't get the same attention as petitions on US servers.

So, if any of the kind ladies who plays on an US realm could be so friendly to open such a thread on the US forum in the Roleplaying and Suggestions? It would be mucho appreciated.

Maybe so gold spammers can't send "Plain Letters" C.O.D.? Dunno, but it is silly.

I agree this is a terrible change! Found out today when all the letters in my bank ended up soulbound in my inventory o_O

I'm not even a roleplayer :P

And the bank shite is just appalling. I have so much money and it was supposed to process by noon YESTERDAY.

they *really* should have made it so it only covers transactions over a certain amount. ffs, i'm selling greens for 1 to 5 gold a pop, clearly, i'm out to violate the ToS :(


Blizz totally failed on this.

Nooooo! I sell my Deadly Blunderbusses for gold! (Vital part of a Horde quest that gets a rather nice blue item. I'm going to be paying for my spouse's and kid's mounts here. I need another 110 gold before we hit 40...)

On the other hand, I could live with those being monitored and delayed.

My Raw Slitherskin Mackeral had a Sale Pending on 4s. *facepalm* Happily, I actually saw the Sale Pending thing in the mailbox vanish (I had not "opened" that mail, if that had anything to do with it) and turn into a "sold" and money-containing mailbox notification.

Oh, and is there a petition on the English EU forums?

I have seen a thread about it on the UK servers but had to go to work so I couldn't read it.

There is hope! Someone on the English EU forums said that a GM told them this was an error and they are trying to fix it. Considering the overall patch mess at the moment that doesn't sound like an unlikely scenario. ;-)

Oh good. It's silly to soulbound letters. I write out shopping lists and mat recipes.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

A year ago we had the best mystery storyline EVAR, and at one point, we had to buy a plain letter off the neutral auction house that had the next clue. (It was on the AH because a troll was running the story, but us Alliance folks were participating too.)

I'm kind of baffled as to why they would make that change in the first place...
