I say we introduce a non-rare socket that allows weapon to become no-remove. It is obvious that black hearts do not exist anymore. I've not seen one in over 6 months and havent located one in over 6 months. Our playerbase has shrunk so much
yet we have more things out of circulation now than ever before.

I don't know where you pull your crap from.
The heart is unique and according to the wiki, there's only 2. That's probably dated. I know my last ID of the thing was back in 2011. But you've also got the Ember, the Ice Crystal and the Soul Tear. All of which are in limited supply, too. For obvious reasons.
The only good thing about the heart is that it gives a weapon/armor the noremove flag. And it's accessibility to level 30+. -3 hit/dam -50 trance? Ouch.
If you introduce a non-rare noremove socket, every yuppie and their brother will have it in a weapon and have farmed a dozen to keep in reserve. The only way to balance that would be to put it in a remote part of the land and lay heavy penalties on it. -20 hitgain/managain, for example. Adding a vuln to magic. Something. All of the above.
Now adding a couple of non-rare nodrop sockets I think would be a much more amendable idea. But wait! We've got one! And you can buy it easily at level 29+ for a low low price of only 8196 gold! In the Hamlet! Stocks are priced to clear, so come on down as they're going fast!
The black heart isnt rare, is it? It can be rare and still have a limited amount of them. The fact of the matter is, the black heart remains to be seen. Its been gone forever.

When will people start getting bans for spreading lies and misinformation, intentionally?
It is getting old Ghrundor.
It's not rare, no. It's unique. More limited in availability than rare items. As before, the wiki states that there are 2 hearts. So when every invoker, melee and hybrid is vying for them post 30, no you're not going to see them.
So you want to add a non rare socket that completely undoes a major skill? There's a reason that there aren't that many black hearts or soul tears to begin with.... You might as well just remove the disarm skill from the game lol.
Foxx, shut the **** up.
The soul tear has no negative affects and is a pain to get.
The only other option is the black heart which I have yet to see in over 6 months while looking at characters and locating. So where are the hearts?
It still remains that there are 2 different sockets that make a weapon no remove. You add in a non rare (making them unlimited) and the whole disarm skill is pointless. It's already borderline pointless as it is, does it really need to be completely nullified?
Yeah I vote no for non rare norem socket, however if a crusader can place an ember in a weapon and that weapon can then be placed into a bag well that there is pretty rediculous, was this not the main reason we got rid of the rare flag off demon pit weapons? From what I can see it was stripped so that owner items would not take up all the embers.
And for those that say this isn't possible:

Yes men and women thats a rare socketed weapon going into a knapasack.
weapon is not rare just owner the socket is, just wanted to point that out
I can promise you that no sader with a maxed out weapon is going to leave it in a sack. lol. What you saw was someone switching some stuff around, it's not like they're going to chill with them in there. Also, given what it takes to get that kind of a weapon and the limits on crusaders I doubt that would ever be an issue in terms of "all the embers being hogged and not being used". That and the fact that only certain kinds of saders can even add sockets.
Where as, on the other hand, every single person can have a pit weapon that cannot be sacked (when the rare flag was removed it was during a time when you could have multiple pit weapons=multiple embers that cannot be destroyed/recycled)
The fact I am making is any weapon with an ember should never go into the sack, the ember should make the weapon rare when it is placed within this way if the crusader does not log enough hour he looses it like he would any other rare. And no I am not claiming he would intentionally keep it in the sack at any given time and placing it in the sack was an oversight however it should not be able to be placed period as the ember is rare. But hey this is just my opinion and we all know how much that matters.
I do not think an ember in a sader weapon is rare, but I'm not sure. Any other sader piece is taken out of the rare count once it's changed to fit a sader.
The crusader weapon is not rare, however an ember is rare sooooooo why can you place an ember in a non rare weapon hmmmmm. Crusaders are strong enough if all their selections are made properly so an ave 30 something NON RARE weapon really does not need to have a RARE socket placed within. And as far as the ember retaining the rare flag once it is placed within the weapon well hell let me place an ember in a pugio then oh wait cant because the weapon is not rare (which is the same case for the crusader weapon as its non rare).
It's probably a bug.
Morle?
A sader weapon is non rare because they can only have so many rares. An ember in a sader weapon I'm almost certain is not rare because it would threaten them losing a maxed out weapon. If they are out of the rare count I do not understand your argument. Like I said, any other sader equipment, rather weapon or armor is non rare and out of the count. It doesn't matter what they are carrying. I am fairly certain that once the ember is part of the weapon it's not rare or in the count anymore.
On top of that a crusader is a pure melee class that cannot blind. The only melee/hybrid that cannot, and they are a qclass. Almost every class has some form of blind, and they are the only ones that do not. The ember is the only way to do that and it's only for certain paths. I'd be fine with them losing the ember if they got dirt kick or something of that nature that is reliable. A dk weapon is stronger than a sader weapon, and they get dirt kick, and have access to all the embers they want to carry for their non mal'd weapons.
I think putting them in the bag is a bug, or perhaps more so an oversight. I've done it by accident before, but I'd never leave a weapon in a backpack, especially one that strong- all it takes is one thief to get it and bam, game over.
I'd also like to point out even as we speak there is an ember chilling in winter, despite that 2 saders and several others have them as well.
Ok understand your point of it being taken out of the rare count that is not my arguement, my arguement is and let me outline this so you can understand HOW DO YOU PUT A RARE SOCKET INTO A NON RARE WEAPON WHEN YOU CANT DO THAT TO ANY OTHER NON RARE WEAPON.
