Q gear

lunaw78

What I want for the questionite gear from the Q-Store? Well, the only thing I want is that the Cyber, Samurai and Armadillo gear should be BOA (Bind in Account) instead of BOB/P (Bind on Buying/Pickup). I already wasted 50k just because I forgot this gear is BOB/P insted of BOA!
I mean, the Heirloom gear from Nemesis Vendor is BOA, why the Q set gear listed above, shouldn`t be?

Family heirlooms are handed down from one generation to the next. The name itself implies that it's a special case with the bind to account property.

Very few items are bound to the account. From Cryptic's point of view, I would imagine it's a bad deal because it reduces the amount of effort required to level characters up. The more time you spend leveling up, the longer you'll subscribe or spend incidentally in the Z store.

So you say here that there is an more-in-deep ideaa about these gear, right?

What you say here, it`s a subject of another thread and I`m not gonna start that subject on this one!
You are refering only to Heriloom Gear, I`m not! I just use Heirloom Gear as an example that some gear can be BOA insted of BOB!

The set gear listed at my post are ONLY from Q Store and DOES NOT offer any kind of XP buff! Only Heirloom does! Are you with me? What I was saying it was that the Q gear set from Q Store should be (from my point of view) BOA not BOB!
You may ask why? That`s a good question. Because if they are BOA instead of BOB, you don`t need to do a Q transfer between chars just to buy for a specific char that Q gear set!
Being an BOA mean that you can transfer the gear between chars using only your own hideout!

Not so sure, account bind is very good for a free to play game, because it is what it pushes you to buy character slots instead of opening new accounts. I think everything in the Z-Store works that way, I wonder why the Qstore is not the same.

The difference here is that Q gear can be considered top gear even at max level because of set boosts. Heirloom gear is made entirely for leveling up and exploring.

I don`t do a gear comparison but I understand your point of view.
