Jay Wilson spoke on this issue at [[BlizzCon 2009]]. [http://g4tv.com/games/pc/28197/diablo-iii/articles/68225/BlizzCon-2009-Diablo-III-Game-Director-Interview/]
::'''[[Jay Wilson spoke ]]: '''We have no “[[Soulbound]]” or bind-on this issue at Blizzcon 2009-pickup, except for quest items. We do have [http://g4tv.com/games/pc/28197/diablo[Bind on Equip|bind-iii/articles/68225/BlizzConon-2009equip]] for the highest end items in the game. We targeted, roughly, any item above level 85. These we will do as bind-Diabloon-IIIequip. The reason for this is that we want people to be able to trade them, but we also want to remove the [[end game|high-Gameend]] items from the economy. One of the greatest ways that you can do that is with bind-Directoron-Interview/equip. What we don't want is to have a situation where you find something on the ground like, “Oh, man. This would be a perfect weapon for my [[Monk]]. Oh, but I just picked it up and now it's on the wrong character.” We don't want that at all.

::Most of our focus on Diablo 3 is as a [[trading]] game. So, if you take trading out of the item space, you ruin the core of the game. Finding a really great item that is not for you is still a great event because it means you have a bartering tool to get the item that you do want. We definitely want to make sure that that still exists.
