No matter how many characters I make, by the time I accumulate enough Seals of the Lion to buy anything, I already have better green stuff. Green! That makes the blue items in the Seals of the Lion line worthless.
We need a way to two-fer these seals into higher ones or buff the items that are blue (my greens are better!).
I mean, come on.
As it is now, accumulating seals is totally worthless.
+Buff the items to be better than greens by the time someone actually accumulates enough to buy
+Or, provide a way to transmute Seals of the Lion into the next Seal up
+Or, provide a way to trade Seals for AD
+Or, make Seals trade-able so we can at least sell the worthless things
By the time I can afford - through normal progression - enough seals to buy any of the items, I am already in my 30s. The Seal of the Lion items are high teens, 20s, and a couple of very low 30s. For example, my GREEN level 22 (yes, you read that right, 22 and GREEN!) shield is comparable to the uber useless BLUE level 32 Seal of the Lion shield. That is just plain wrong.

I have a bunch of seals that will never see any use ever again. (and some never saw use at all. Which is almost all lion seals )
Its such a waste.
Drake seals get you a pet to keep or sell, that's semi-useful.
Seriously though, your gonna find this out with every Seal in the game.
Well maybe the Drake Seal has some use as pointed out earlier.
Any and all gear from Seal vendors though, should also have a totally and completely unique mesh/skin from any other item, so then at least they would have transmute value, even if you didn't like the stats (and that's the only thing I use them for now)
Maybe even put up a display rack, similar to the one currently set up for the Winter Festival, so people can actually see what the items are and whether or not they are worth while (as transmutes) Rather than just getting rid of them altogether make them special (like they should be)
A perfect example is the Unicorn Bow, not all that impressive stat wise, but the name intrigued me, and you'd think that a Unicorn Bow would have ... well ... Unicorns on it, and how cool would that be??? ... Nope it's the same mesh with the same Lion-ish/Face-ish looking heads as several other bows ... What a wasted opportunity ...
OT: Just as a slight tangent, the Bounty Rewards from each map aren't BoP, and their are thousands of them for sale on the AH ... One option for getting a few extra Seals is buying the Bounty Tokens from the AH, then handing them in for Seals on the relevant map ...
I'd also wouldnt mind seeing the ability to use your seals to get gear thats not for your class. When you visit the regular vendors you can see all weapons/armor. You should be able to do so with seals too. Because quite honestly sitting with close to 100 seals that you cant use is a waste. What if I would like to gear up my companions? My TR gear isnt all that great for companions. Im being told by this game, sorry, you cant used what you've earned.
But these will only be useful for a level or two at best.
But as others have said: Typically by the time one has enough seals to purchase the level appropriate gear; the GREENS one acquires are better.
Buying the bags is pretty much a waste of time.
For the most part all I do is buy the items and vend them for silver.
* I also find the stats on the rings/necks/belts in particular are a waste of time: Single "Big stat" items are silly IMO.
The items should be dual stat imo: With focus on the stats being combinations (with level appropriate numbers); Gem slots should ALWAYS be included.
Make Marks worth something other than simply ingame currency please.
Thanks
All the item progression system in this game is totally screwed up.
Dont expect any kind of change EVER.

This, totally this.
I would also like to see stuff on the opposite end of the spectrum price wise. Consumables that only cost a few seals.
- JailBreak (in development)
Potion of the manticor, Elixer of the unicorn.... I Think that would be great! and since seal stuff is BoP it would just be a really nice gratis to players that stick with the game long term. This is a viable compromise to making seals account bound.

^ This. Not meant to be aimed for, and if you got everything you needed, just move on!
However, I'd also love something to aim for with them. Even just one good thing.
That would be nice at least it would be something.
I would also like to see perhaps some costumes and dyes and other fun things to buy with them.

1. Add some sort of related dye kit to each seal vendor.
2. Make all seal weapon and armor skins free to transmute.
3. (Taken from another poster) Add useful consumables.
4. Add some reagents or refining stones to what they have to offer.
5. Expand the list of what they offer to coincide with each module that is added.
6. All all classes to select from the other classes' specific rings, belts, or necklaces (in other words get rid of class restrictions on these pieces).
7. (Again from another poster) Add a companion to each seal vendor - even if they are of lower quality to coincide with the lower tier of seal.
8. Add fashion items to each seal vendor.

That's it really Add in new weapons that are awesome and seals will be valuable again. The only reason seals suck is because the rewards for the time commitment were not thought out right. You level too fast for the time sink seals take for seals to be of much value. The best thing to do would be to revamp the gear in a patch so seals become worth sinking your time into. Like having purples with lower level requirements would make seal items valuable and since seal items are soul bound, who cares about twinking no level req gear for soulbound stuff?
The comments about adding things people need to seal vendors would also be a good idea, it would ensure people that don't have lots of time to mine instances can actually acquire things they need to upgrade artifacts/enchantments.
Yes, would be nice.

A Comprehensive Review of Neverwinter <-- Read it!
this right here.
I ended up using Lion and manticore? (the second level) seals to buy a few upgrades on my main (the gear was slightly better than what I had) that lasted for a few levels. I'd like something to do with them now, but I don't think it's that important.
Those are probably old posts. Seal items are BoP, but weren't always.
