Attuning has been an annoyance to me, some of the old world event items were attuned and i feel that was unnecessary since those items can not even be gotten anymore. other things like hides, and one or two dragon journal pages are attuned so those cant be traded either and just take up extra space. in general i can see things like the master resource formulas being attuned since you need to get them from a npc in the ED, and weapons/items looted from the epic creatures like SoG, fafnir etc. But all in all i fine anything else being attuned more of a hinder than helpful. the most irritating attune thing to me was the travel gate attunement change as i still see no purpose behind for new and for old players having run all over istaria to get attuned to places that were normally accessible to a new player from the beginning. So NO i don't feel attuning should stay the way it is
