It should be legacy bound for all players, not just sub players.

Imperial containment officer "event"
Sand Person Armor "event"
2 full sets for Inquisitor
2 full sets for Agent
2 full sets for Bounty hunter
4 full sets for Warrior "Medium x2 Heavy x2"
and mirror amount of sets for Repub Renouned and Exhaulted

23 full sets of legacy gear at 7 pieces per set is just a few?

I forgot about the social sets, but yes in a game this size I would say 23 is a few, specially since the class ones while BoL are class restricted so I count them as 2 not as 16 because there are only 2 unique that can be used per class.

I think it should be BOL at least so that people with allot of real cash cant spam GTN and make a ton of credits because they have a credit card

Devs have already said they want the items to be traded on the GTN. That sort of negates Bind on Legacy as an option.

However, it would work well for everyone if they simply made the shells unbound. We already have BoL items that we can use to transfer mods to our alts, so I don't think we need the items to be specifically Bind on Legacy for those perks.

Since the main purpose of this gear is aesthetic, it would be nice to have the option to remove all mods to make the shell unbound. Then you could trade it to your alts, or on the GTN. And when you're done with it on that character, you can pull out your mods and sell it on the GTN, hand it to a guildie, or pass it over to another alt.

I would instead ask for two things to be added to the game.

1) Add legacy unlock that automatically allows trading bound items between your legacy characters.
2) Add the same unlock to the Cartel store, or at least a single use item that converts a BOE or BOP item to a BOL item.

This would solve the problem and perhaps generate a bit of revenue as well.

Well played OP.

Using the words: You decide in your title won't make it anymore so.

Surely you can understand why it's not bound to legacy and that's to encourage repeat purchases. This is after all a revenue generating model.

Would I like it to be BOL? Selfishly yes. Will it be BOL? Not a chance and I'm totally ok with that. Spend money on the game if you want an item and ensure the future of SWTOR.

The question is this: Should the armor sets // chest pieces that are purchased on the Cartel Market be Bound on Legacy for subscribers. (IE, folks with a lot of characters already)

or a possible solution: Add those same pieces of gear sets to the cartel only have them be Legacy bound. (I know I'd shell a few hundred extra coins for that).

What do you guys think?
From a player perspective, sure it should be bound to legacy..... BUT from a bussiness perspective it makes no sense and would be a lost of income for EA/Bioware, so I seriously doubt you will see it happen
