    And how about more Bind to account instead of Bind on Pick up so more than one character can get it or even a character that will be made in the future.

    I love this Dev. No body that talks fowl in trouble with me.

    Concidering how virtually useless this knock was.

    For a while now, event store auras and costume pieces are usually bind on pickup while the same items are sometimes added as bind on equip rewards/drops for the event missions. It would be nice if the new items could be added to the drop tables for the Ascii for Trouble and/or Snake Gulch Mechanon missions. So far I've only gotten action figures from the Mechanon open mission which is a bit lackluster...

    Doing only one a day I got military pose and countdown transformation no AFs.

    Bind to account on auras escpically. Majority of the time we don't know how its gonna look on the character even given the preview picture. Event auras can stay bind to character because its not that hard to obtain.

    Sidekicks could use and unbound token in z store. You get 1 chance to unbound to your account. Then binds back to toon when equip. But just and idea I'm to all that behind it.

    What grinds my gears is the imbalance to other events with drops, while Winter Event for example drops like crazy or Bloodmoon, Nightmare or High Noon on the other hand you not even get close to get one Emote or Transformation, and those need 10 to unlock account wide on top, while those that drop like candy need only 5 at times even. Ut means a lot if those rarely are in the Auction House at all in a game with a lower player base while zombie and snowball Emotes and Transformations overflow it a year after still.

    I still think removing emotes from the event store was a genuine mistake, even putting aside my bias, heh. I legitimately grinded out the 150 or so event tokens on 10 characters to get the emotes account-unlocked. Some events it's easier to get that much than others, but still, that's a decent chunk of extra playtime. On the other hand, I have never bothered trying to grind the events for an emote to randomly drop as loot. I've literally never gotten one despite doing the events once a day or so, so I just stopped caring. Sometimes I'll buy one on the AH if someone happens to put one up, but that's pretty rare. Other than the Foxbatcon ones, at least those are super-common, if anything more of the event emotes should be like those!

    It's the same with mods. Nigh useless defense mods rain down on us at cosmics, but the electricty utility mod you can only get from Hi Pan when it rolls around 7x a year. Electricity is not even an OP power set, but PA, which is has buyable mods from the vendor. No real logic or sense of proportion to mod availability.

    Definitely. I'd kind of like aura storage to be the default storage place for auras too. It's annoying to use auras on a character that you switch builds a lot with, because your end up getting all your auras placed in your main inventory and clogging things up. Some QoL for auras is definitely in order along with more storage options, please!

    Try putting the aura into your aura storage and then slot it. When switching builds the aura should go back into your aura storage instead of your main inventory. I have a toon that swaps auras between 4 builds and they all swap in and out of my aura storage.

    You can purchase additional aura storage from the Zen store, per character. It occasionally goes on sale, so you may want to wait for one.
