Should cartel armor sets be Bound to Legacy: You decide.

They said that about the Wizard thread in beta.

Look what never made it to Live. The paying customers that are still here, matter. (the way the game has been changing should show that) Your opinion of not caring about the state of the game has no value in this thread.

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.

I sincerely doubt anything will change, but they need to get rid of the level gates. You can get armor with the same models at near the same level as the 'special' sets. So what's the point of spending cash on em?

About the only plus is looking like the opposite faction, but you have to play through most of the story to get there, and then who cares...

I concur. Selfishly, there's lots of things I'd personally love and wish I could get a million angry posters behind. But in all honesty, I'd probably be even happier to simply have a dialogue about design considerations with Bioware reps--even if the conclusion was "therefore we cannot do that."

I fear there's a vicious cycle at work here--in part because BW's forum input from a "why and how we have to make decisions" standpoint is very limited--where we get these posts that are explicitly not interested in any opinion but concurrence "votes" and that only leads to very disappointed people when all those apparent "popular" decisions don't go live.


Therein lies the problem. No, you do not. Not *entirely*.
You see, if 100% of the games players voted that Luke Skywalker should time-travel back into the game, and that the Death Star should be incorporated as a playable planet, and that this needs to be in the game next month...guess what? Butbutbutbut wait!! 100% of the players voted for it!!! ..still a no-go.

All of our well-intentioned demands dont' actually mandate what is possible or plausible for BW. They merely indicate the general will of the players, and Bioware uses it as guidance.

But you are acting like BW/EA are infallible and that feedback like this can never have an affect.

That said, I don't think, even though my position is that BoL is better, that anything here would overwhelmingly show the apparent design to have a negative impact on revenue. That is different though then saying such a discussion is futile because the topic relates to business decisions.

Also why would a republic character want a nihlus mask or an emperors chair?..
