yes, only way to remove the account bound for EJ is too pay for the account and that drops it

i tested it myself after someone told me about it, it's all 100% true

@Kyronix ; ?

Oh wow are the account bound ones shard bound also?  Show a picture please.

@Pawain

you can't turn the items in on other accounts either.  finally something's been done.

if a reward is claim is it account bound?

not going to farm enough points to test that, but the claimed rewards are actually "Character Bound" onTC1 when claimed with EJ accounts. 

This is a big step in the right direction. Indeed bravo devs! 

That’s great!

Good job... next is to remove the shard bound for paid sub and 14 year veterans and and and we are all good...

I looked at it on TC1 as well.  Had to copy a char over on a paid account to use the 5k point clicky, because EJ can't.  Did that, had the EJ char take it.  Grabbed one pair of SS1 epaulettes, had Shard Bound and Owned By Beastmaster on it (might've said account bound on it, but I have to go back over there to look.)  Re-subbed on the account, grabbed another copy of the SSI Epaulettes, its only tag was Shard Bound.

Good.  EJ accounts can be used as intended and not to provide huge advantages to experienced players that know how to cheat with them.  Good job.

Absolutely good work, Developers !!

This is the right Design to go !!

Yeah it will be awesome to see all of the scripts running, but feel good knowing they're all paid accounts. 

Paid accts can be acted upon. Who would be stupid enough to risk the master accts scripting. A great step in the right direction   

I am waiting to see how bots can handle Deceit as claimed by so many here. 

This isn't the same as Destard ToT during the first few weeks where all just stand there and spam spells. 

I'm glad to see the EJ account tags on items. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to get around subbing for 30 days after the event to untag items to be able to trade them. Definitely seems like a step in the right direction!

As said then they have to wait 120 days to go back to EJ.

• EJ accounts receiving a minor artifact drop will have that drop account bound.  There is no way to remove account bound status of these items.
• Veteran accounts receiving a minor artifact drop will not have that drop account bound
• EJ accounts may turn in account bound minor artifacts that belong to their account
• EJ accounts may turn in non-account bound minor artifacts
• EJ accounts may not turn in account bound minor artifacts that do not belong to their account
• Veteran accounts may not turn in account bound minor artifacts that do not belong to their account
• Rewards redeemed from the Artifact Trader by an EJ account will be account bound, except lore book pages.  There is no way to remove the account bound status of these items.
• Rewards redeemed from the Artifact Trader by a veteran account will not be account bound
• EJ accounts may only redeem non-decorative equipment and lore pages from the artifact trader.
• Veteran accounts may redeem all rewards from the artifact trader

Sadly straight away in ATL a multi boxer.  Anthony Hopkins with several throwers auto targeting as they follow him and is frost dragon.  Reported. lets see if the GM deal with them quickly 

I was on Origin last night and several people were talking about gargoyles being actioned because they were reported so it's worth a try.

@Mariah Wow Thanks for pointing that out! I would have sworn that I read that the status would be removed if the account was later paid for. Not sure where I read it but it was clearly incorrect. I really appreciate this change and think it will go a long way forward. My thanks to the Developers for making this happen!
