Gaz has set the precedent with the Odingate debacle that anything that they have said was not 'intended design', even if it persisted for over a year, will 100% be nerfed.
People who were not playing the game do not know this, but those who were here know that when blessings were released Ryolnir and others were surprised that Odin marks became the game's trading currency. People started trading blessings for Hand of Dooms almost immediately.
Gaz then told everyone on the forums that trading blessings was NOT INTENDED game design, and that a bug had made blessings able to be traded. They were supposed to bind your gear and not allow you to trade them. Gaz openly spoke about making the fix, but to this point, never got around to it.
This is a bug that has existed for over 2 years, and it seems Gaz is intent on squashing any and all bugs, with the ones that players like first and foremost.
So now that those '2-3' people that squash bugs are done degrading Odin mark boosts, prepare yourselves. Blessings will soon not be able to be traded.
