So as someone who is against item loot, I would support this proposal. Simply because it's hardly even item loot at all. More like trash loot.

That is the point. The system has to be acceptable to even ppl who don't like item loot. "Trash loot" it is not. There are many useful items you do not equip, also any items you bluebie-farm for resale are at risk. The fact that this system allows you to progress your char with no fear, while at the same time curb pixel farmers (slightly- we know they will gate and bank the manastone for sale immediately) is interesting.
The system would keep the economy in a constant state of demand because loot would never be removable from alts - if you're gonna equip that fungi, you better be serious.
Perhaps some items, like weapons, should be non-lootable but still remain droppable after equipping. Just so you can gibe hand-me-downs out.
Bind on equip for breastplates etc. Will mean no resale or hand me downs of this type either. And this puts a real strain/onus on new players you might want to give a boost to. Aenor I Like your idea a lot because it's fresh and not too griefy. But what if when you equipped an item it became no-drop... UNTIL you put it in the bank, at which point it reverts to its natural status. This way items can still retain their resale value, as well as be traded to others for temporary use, and not be completely tied up on 1 toon.
I think this system could work. Also has potential to snipe an item of value (someone takes the item out of bank and forgets to equip.. or intends to sell it for plat but gets ganked) but mostly protects ppl from losing their gear.
Might still be too grief for a few ppl when they lose something, because there are still valuable items ppl will be rolling around with unequipped, but this is one of the best item loot suggestions IMO.
