I think it would be really neat to have a game where No-Trade wasn't used at all. If you feel like selling your Mythical epic weapon instead of attuning it yourself, that should be your right, after all. You earned the item, it is yours to do with as you please. However, that having been said, I think the use of No-Trade is far too ingrained into EQ2's history at this point to change it. If a new game were to come along (or a new server) where No-Trade was not used, that could be lots of fun, but changing it at this point in the game's lifecycle would just p*ss off too many people to be worthwhile.

I think a server where everything that dropped was attunable would be interesting, but I imagine you'd see a lot of folks rolling need on the higher ticket items for "thier alts, or situational use" when they mean for thier alt to put on the broker.

More interesting to me would be a server where everything was no drop, smart loot worked 100% of the time and extended to all drops in an instance. One other requirement, once the first named is down the zone saves a list of characters in the instance, and will not allow anyone other then those characters to zone in.
