Since the limited stock was removed from recipes and such, why not also remove the limitation from gear too?
I've been trying to get a bind-on-pickup item from a vendor for a couple of days now, but its hard when the restock timer is exactly 12 hours according to some folk with many other people also trying to get it/logging next to the NPC to check the inventory.
I don't think it would hurt the gameplay or immersion at all, it's only an inconvenience to most and would be a huge quality of life change.
