I don't use them even now when i only need to recharge them. If it wasn't soulbound they would be even more useless. Like the best amulet i've found so far is +5 animal care cuprum trash, the rest had stats i just didn't want because either the skills were irrelevant, or they'd require me to build around them (like drop ecumenical by 16 points which would render me bricked each time i die 3 times), or had skills that aren't even in game. And it's been a month since trinkets were introduced. Things like that should absolutely be soulbound.
Now they could make it so that you could craft trinkets that you like, but that comes with its own problems. Like, people would only craft minmaxed +raw dex/str/maybe int rings and amulets with very limited set of skills, like animal care, taming, mounted archery, but not any of the "must be maxed" skills. It would be an extremely boring system. Trinkets as they are now at least add the excitement of opening a gift box. Well they did while they dropped more often than a single silver amulet/ring per 100 risar commanders.
And that mounted archery amulet isn't even that OP. Yeah you can put it on and have some MA on your character. Nice addition but it doesn't exactly turn you into an unkillable monster. I'd even say prepatch trinkets were mostly OK, the only OP thing about them was +raw stats rings. The guy can only ask 20k for it because it's a legacy item that you can no longer obtain, and post-patch silver amulets are useless trash.
