Paying for collections when Subscriber

So I know that this may or may not be the place for this suggestion, but why can't you allow subs to have access to all their cartel items with out having to pay again to have them on all accounts? You figure that if you spend 4500 cartel coins on an item, and you then go and want it on another character on your Legacy, you have to pay another 500 cartel coins. Now you are paying 4900 ($50.00 USD) for that one item. Is there something you can do to give subs more incentive to want to buy cartel coins and purchase items from the Cartel Market?

500 free cartel coins every month....

 

 

 

As for unlocks. Considering once you unlock something, it's account wide, it's not too bad. 80+ chars here, not to mention about the same in total on the other servers, so for arguments sake, on this one account about 160 chars. Unlock a really cool outfit , that I want on all those chars, 500 cc's, isn't too bad for 160 unlocks. And if I was to max out all the slots, it's 300+ (not sure the exact total allowed on an account.)

Subscriptions aren't Bioware's only source of income from this game, and you're encountering that.

Think of it this way: your subscription gets rid of FTP/Preferred restrictions, but isn't intended to harm Bioware's primary cash cow, the cartel market, so don't expect any changes to it.

that's true, the cheapest is 10 cc's, goes up to about 600cc for tuning I think, but they are the most expensive I think.

 

If you're looking at all unlocks, and not just collections, I believe the single-most expensive unlock is the account-wide artifact authorization.

very good point, didn't consider those types of unlocks, as they're not a part of collections. Some of them can be expensive :)

I play 3 chars yet I pay the same amount as you to unlock in collections...

...so all of your future chars will have the same access to the unlocked items in your collections as the old ones. This is a fixed account price just like paying for your subscription. And similar to your subscription you cannot simply argue that you only want to pay for 3 days of sub for this month.
