Your two quotes make no sense in connection with your argument. Removing binding from FFA zones was a rule suggested by the player base, the logic was that people could bind rush you from the bind point and disrupt raids. There were arguments on both sides, I tend to favor the argument that once casters spawned with zero mana [classic] that there was no need for such a change, but that doesn't matter. The change eventually went in with little to no fan fair on 4/22/12. There was no rule stating that now you must remove your prior bind points, only a one sentence statement accompanying the patch stating that binding has now been disabled in FFA zones. It was well known that many people retained their "legacy" binds. The binds never ended up being used in the way that they were feared to begin with anyway, and the issue was really never brought up again until yesterday.
