Giftable costume sets

Why dont we have a gift button in the z-store for costume sets? i mean ive been meaning to give away stuff which is currently limited to some devices, gear and items but ive had to resort to giving keys that i usually hate buying. its would be a nice addition to those that want to help out other friends and such.

I'd imagine it to be an additional button that turns the costume set into a single unbound item.


Good/bad suggestion? Discuss here!

    +1 to this for me

    Even if the items were simply being bought to be resold in game - Cryptic/PWE is still ultimately getting a zen purchase somewhere down the line for it (direct zen, zen purchased from other players via qstore, zen from stipend). I think making all costume sets from z-store Bind On Equip would be a great step forward.

    This would as you say allow them to use used as CC prizes, or given as gifts.

    Along side this (if it were to work) making other items such as retrain/retcon/costume slot tokens etc tradeable might in the long run generate more funds for PWE in that atm some people just don't buy them as they can't afford to buy zen or alternatively have a hard time earning enough questionite to transfer to zen (perhaps due to time constraints). Allowing such items to be traded in game can only benefit the economy and PWE. Unless I have had a brain fart of extreme proportions.

    I'd certainly like to purchase anything from the store and it be given as a token to unlock that thing for the account that uses it.

    The same should go for auras as well, (despite them still not being Account bound -__-;) they should be giftable and not bound like they currently are, I bought a set or two without checking the first one and found out they're bound to character regardless.

    As for the token thing, that would only apply if you click the 'Gift' Button, otherwise it clicking the Buy would work like normal by unlocking it as soon as you click it.

    That. Except don't limit it to costume sets.

    To Cryptic, it really shouldn't matter who gets an item as long as somebody buys it - because if the two people do not have to be identical, overall sales should go up.

    Just make everything in Z-Store sellable in non-bound boxes that need to be opened to get the unlock.

    Am I the only person that saw Dork already say make items which could be traded, tradable.

    Anyway yeah I am all for any variation of this and the OP.
