Either remove SB from Chaos Orbs or place a requirement lock-out on them. Ppl w/no trade skills that require them are rolling need on them thinking they’ll become tradeable

Originally a few weeks after Cataclysm release there was a hotfix, that players without Tailoring, Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, or Engineering (minimum skill of 425) could no longer roll need on chaos orbs. The Blizzard classic team is either uninformed or does not care about fixing this issue.

i agree people shouldn’t be able to roll on them if they don’t have trade skills, but what is SB?
i think best thing would be to make chaos orbs buyable with Justice/Valor points

The sad thing is, is they became boe during dragon soul or the 4.3 patch this game is running in 4.4 so honestly they should have been boe off the rip

Fingers crossed the chaos orbs become unbound with Firelands, as the engineering goggles will be nearly worthless to craft by Dragon Soul as there are clearly better options available by then.
lol that same argument could have been used for nether voirtex form TK or orbs in WotLK since both TBC and WOTLK used higher version patches

Soul Bound or SB
In that case we would have had RDF from Wrath day 1 as well. Some things were locked behind the phases.

Right! The fix is already available!
But isn’t needed!!!
They just need to add the cannot need unless 425+ in a profession that uses them like they added in Cata the 1st time around. People needing to stockpile for when can sell is the real issue.

Goal isnt to trigger,
Im tryingto use the hyperlink to show you the image but i cant share links?
I legitmately have only needed on 1-2 orbs on every character for my engi helms to get pre bis cause i rock engi on every char. I have passed/greeded on more orbs ive seen than not. I now want to craft a belt for one of my alts and i have over 40 in possession(across 10 characters) i can not use.
This isnt to stimulate JACK S___, make people gold w.e copium are on. Its kinda ironic this practically shows the fallacy of late stage capitalism. There isnt a lack of supply, its falsely created thru its is soulboundness (or irl regulations that are pay to play/have to high barriers of entry 
)
i have to agree, the abuse of chaos orbs is very painful to work around. you need a full guild run in a heroic dungeon to farm them. otherwise, unless you’re very lucky, you will go 4-6 dungeons for every orb you win. which means around 20 dungeons (if you’re lucky) to have enough orbs to craft a single 365 weapon.
about two months ago, on my hunter, i went 21 dungeons without winning a chaos orb. it can be truly punishing. i guarantee non-crafters are hoarding these to sell once they become boe. the combination of non-crafters being able to roll on these, together with knowing that they will change to boe in the dragon soul patch, has rewarded and encouraged this behavior, which i think is greedy and degenerate.
with the fact blizzard dropped the ball and let this play out like that, instead of waiting until dragon soul i think it’s fair to make these unsoulbound now. i could at least farm dungeons on my tank so i could make the runs go faster. and the probably 25 or so orbs scattered across all my other toons (won on the rare greed roll) would be nice to cash in on.
i would actually propose making all existing orbs boa instead of simply making them not soulbound. it would make it so the market isn’t flooded right off the bat. it would also devalue the existing orbs that have been hoarded by greedy players. moving forward new orbs would be unbound when they drop.
Yeah but blizz will blizz
Yeah i think unlocking rdf during phase 4 was the best choice instead of during phase 1
I hope it’s tomorrow cause I got a line of guildies that need weapons and I can’t win a roll on orbs to save my life.
