KDore Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I purchased something from the cartel market and to my surprise its not legacy bound. So you pay real money and its stuck on one character? This game isn't even that good to justify spending so much. Its pretty fun, but compared to elder scrolls or even SWG this game doesn't hold a candle, yet it gives less rewards for subscribers, and the money you do spend, it tries to rip you off to spend more. Its a shame. If you buy the item, the item should be account bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame. If you buy the item, the item should be account bound. Since you have not made it clear at which point such items would become legacy bound, I'm assuming you mean immediately upon purchase. Bad idea, OP. There is a thriving economy on the Galactic Trade Network of people buying cartel market items and reselling them for credits. Automatically flagging items legacy bound that are purchased from the cartel market would kill that, which would probably cause more rage quits and temper tantrums on these forums than the game has ever seen. Reselling cartel market items is a good cash to credits conversion for many players, and I've done it myself when wanting a relatively quick (36-hour wait time) infusion of tens of millions of credits. Better to have the items legacy bound once they've been consumed, not immediately when purchased off the market.

KDore Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Actually that makes a lot of sense. I wasn't aware you could sell them. Thats a good upside and makes it much better since you get a chance to get these items with in game cash. Thank you sir.

Thank you sir. that wouldn't work for BW, because they'd lose out on their cash cow...cc's to unlock it legacy wide. How many people spend cc's to unlock stuff.

How many people spend cc's to unlock stuff. For CM armour and weapons, the cost to unlock items in collections is *much* less than the cost to buy even *one* extra item.

And if they were to add cc cost to the items, people who don't want the item legacy bound would complain about the increase in cc's. As it is, they get the cc's when item is bought, and cc's when unlocked. Unless I misread what the op was trying to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
