Why was a durability added to the whip bindings? They didnāt have a durability and didnāt break and now they do. Kinda a waste and way to expensive to craft without the perk of not breaking. Pretty upset that little gem was stolen back from us.
āFirst they took your modded torches and your black coursairs thralls. Then they wiped your bases and your pride. Finally, they left you to die. What will you do, exile, when there is nothing left to do but to live or die?ā 
They have the right durability, but should likely have their crafting cost reduced to 3 durability.
They should definitely not be better than Bindings of the Dead.
The problem is when they were first added they didnāt have a durability at all that was the point in adding them on the battle pass. They didnāt break before hand and now they do so why would I craft them at all. I can just use chain bindings at that rate. Wasting fragments on bindings of the dead is also not efficient.
So you want the battlepass to be intentionally P2W? They were fixed to be fair
That was never the point of them being in the Battlepass.
They were added one way and yes I paid to get them only to have them changed after I paid. Idc if the battlepass is P2W thatās what a battlepass is after all and itās being removed anyway. Again they didnāt have a durability and now they do so it was a waste if that was the item you were after. And yea it was the point or it wouldnāt have been added that way. Itās just people complaining because they didnāt get the item that got them nerfed.
It was a free item basically. But funcom changing stats on items is SOP any more. You can practically count on it.
Now I have it but donāt use it because it was done badly. If youāre going to give me a whip give me a whip, not a whip skin on a coil of rope.
Iāll just continue to use my chains.
Thatās me too lmao. Back to chains. Them being a free item on BP makes it even worse cause everyone had access and still nerfed it. But the animation is the worst yes. Using the wrong end as a handle lmao
The rest of us care if itās P2W. The devs have said on numerous occasions itās cosmetic-only, and they donāt want to have any of the items be blatantly unfair advantages. If you bought something broken because you wanted it broken, donāt be shocked when itās fixed.
You did catch the part where we said it was a free item meaning all you had to do was play to get the item right? It wasnāt broken it was intentional and what damn difference does it really make? Other than a couple steel each week. Itās not actually a game breaking feature thatās sooooo OP it should be removed lmao. Just a nice little gem that got complained out of existence
The Battlepass items are meant to be cosmetic in nature, not advantageous to regular in game items. As it was stated when they were being introduced:
The changes to other DLC, Battlepass, and Bazaar items to bring them in line is consistent with that policy.
How are we supposed to know itās broken?
And you know as well as I if funcom did effective Q&A it wouldnāt have been released defective. This happening on such a regular basis makes one question if they actually have a Q&A.
Blatantly P2W weapons hitting the game with such regularity makes me question just how accidental it is.
Because items and recipes you pay for are not supposed to give you unfair advantage over base game items and recipes.
As others explained, the stuff from Battle Pass and Bazaar is not supposed to be P2W. Unfortunately, it happens often enough that they release a BP/BLB item that does have an advantage, and then remove it later. And when I say ālaterā, I donāt mean āoops, we didnāt realize this was P2W, but we fixed it a couple of days after it was releasedā. I mean āthis has been in the game for literal months and we āfixedā it now, and thereās no refund policy, so if you bought it only because it has an advantage then it sucks to be youā.
Now, Iām not going to speculate about why this happens more often than it should or why the delay before the fix gets to be so long. There are many possible reasons and not all of them are nefarious. Since we can only speculate and canāt know why, it would be unfair to spread conspiracy theories.
However, the one thing you should take away from this is ābuyer bewareā. As things stand right now, the monetized items donāt have a rigorous enough quality control, thereās not enough transparency in the store to know all the relevant details of what youāre buying, thereās no refund policy whatsoever, and fixes can come months after youāve purchased something.
If you want to be safe, always wait until someone else has bought an item and then see what they say. If the item happens to have an unfair advantage, keep in mind that it will eventually be fixed.
Alternately, donāt spend any money on the Bazaar offerings until Funcom improves the situation, preferably by establishing a refund policy.
If you arenāt yet level 50, donāt have a T3+ taskmaster, and get your hands on the mats itās worth making a whip.
Because presentation mistakes after age of sorcery are āviralā

With all do respect my friend @PriestessAthena i find nothing wrong to have durability points in this item.
I am no fan of any binding, i use all of them.
It is unfortunate, but typical of how this game goes.
Anything nifty that shows up, especially if it is better than intended (and not having durability for bindings was definitely not intended), will be patched.
But only after everyone has had a chance to invest in it.
Donāt worry, the free to play world gets this all the time too.
Have you seen the most recent update to the Sword of Crom? Now the Sword of Crumbs.
The whip bindings areā¦ somewhat silly anyway.
Thatās not how one holds a whip.
Thatās not how one uses a whip.
The whole item was interesting in concept, but implemented most bizarrely.
Flexile weapons would be nice, but as a binding it doesnāt make a lot of sense.
We will have to disagree.
The whip bindings can be made at level 30, and require no thrall to unlock the recipe. They have the same durability as chain bindings. Plus, you get so much alchemical base and layered silk from loot, it is rarely an issue to make or repair.
Well if it had been presented that way to begin with I wouldnāt have a problem with it but I mean they havenāt even updated the description to remove āindefinitelyā Lmfao. Itās also not an unfair advantage lol. Itās not game breaking to have a rope that doesnāt break that you will eventually lose anyway. Itās just the simple fact that yes it was absolutely INTENDED to be that way as the description says and they removed it because noobs complaining about it.
Canāt have anything nice. I mean I remember when they removed the ability to mod your torches and then wiped everyoneās bases to get rid of them. Itās just not that serious to be wasting time and effort on removing it.
Point being they have time to go change the damn rope but canāt fix the Orb of Nergal lmao.
Please Google the definition of indefinitely lol
