You didn’t think it’d happen again.

You swore you learned your lesson with blue gear. You even gave yourself a mental speech about “Only committing to what scales.”

And then it happened.

You bought a weapon. You thought it was smart. You even said, “This will last me until endgame.”

But the truth?

It didn’t last three damn zones.

💀 The Real Pain Isn’t the Weapon… It’s the Binding. You can’t sell it. You can’t flip it. You can’t even gift it to your alts like a nostalgic relic.

That weapon is now a ghost in your inventory. A sharp reminder that you made a decision out of hope instead of logic.

🧠 This is how they get you. Lowered price tag? “Ooo, limited deal!”

Bound on equip? “Eh, I’ll make it work.”

Slight upgrade over what you have now? “It’s fine. I need something.”

But a week later? Your stat spread changed. Your card loadout evolved. And your axe? Outclassed like a bad Tinder date.

📜 The Broke Doctrine Rule: “If it binds you before you’re sure—it ain’t yours.”

Let the impatient buy bound gear. Let them regret. Let them cry in global chat.

You?

You wait for synergy. You wait for alignment. You wait for the day you swing something that was made for you—not just available.

🍑 Final Word: You weren’t wrong for trying. But you were early.

And in this game? Early equals expensive.

Next time you see that deal that seems “too good to pass up”? Remind yourself:

“So did the last mistake. And now it’s sitting in my inventory like a broken promise.”
