I can forsee in the future, no more binding inside dungeons.
There is no real need for it. And it's only used to exploit
the game:

1) Find the mob you want, tag it, gate to zoneline, and fight
it there in a safer environment.

2) Raid of Vox/Nagafen. Need I say more? hehehe.

3) Shortcuts back into deep dungeon areas to kill X mob
instead of running through a fully spawned dungeon.

Those are the things I've seen, I bet there are 3 more
uses for the binding in dungeons which exploit one thing
or another. There is really no good reason to bind in
a dungeon to defend doing it. I mean they can bind right
outside the entrance, which is something non-casters wont
be able to do anyway. No binding in dungeons would elimate
the ability for casters to psuedo-train in the same fashion
as Verant has deemed SoW/Selos users.

Harmonic.
