Niaymh Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You can check the tooltip of the item before you claim it. If you had bothered to do that, you would have seen that it's bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchbarry Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 What bothers me most about this is the other reward, major valor boost, is not bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchbarry Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Really what bothers me most is that i now have 2 major xp boosts bound to a lvl 55 character. Bioware should change this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathelon Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I wonder why they took the Credit Boom option away. That was the best thing about those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetsPatogga Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I wonder why they took the Credit Boom option away. That was the best thing about those. They claimed it was being exploited by people unlocking it in collections and getting the credit boom on multiple characters. I don't see this as a huge exploit because you need to pay cartel coins for the unlock, then the credit boom is one per character and in order to get to it you need to have a character leveled enough to get to Nar Shaddaa. It's not really feasible to spend that much time and effort to get a character to that point just for one single credit boom. There are many much quicker ways to earn more credits than that in the game. Anyway, Bioware in their wisdom pulled a knee jerk reaction and hastily removed the credit boom without bothering to replace it with something else that would be of use to level 55 players. They also didn't bother to make the XP boost bound to legacy which at least would let a 55 character find some use for it on an alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume each credit bloom is 60k credits. So that is create a character, power level quickly, get to Nar Shaddaa, 180k credits, rinse and repeat.
