I just noticed that I can't soulbind my armour or weapons... what the f---.

Weapons were never supposed to be able to be soundbound. This is because they are functional, mechanically significant items first and foremost. I am not denying they can be significant in role-play, but in that case you must decide whether you risk losing it by wielding it in combat.

By entering combat you are supposed to be taking a risk, and when you can enter combat with nothing but soulbound armour and weapons, that risk is lost and providing little incentive against doing things that might be stupid in-character purely because you have nothing to lose.
