Why vehicles should be unbound and freely tradeable.

THEY ARE NOT OUR VEHICLES.
The vehicle models in the game are uncustomizable save for powers, power colors and stats. They will always be the same urban camo or brick or arctic or other generic color.
Until the vehicles are color-customizable and able to be personalized to a character's concept, I think vehicles should not be account-bound.

If they don't fit one of your character concepts, don't equip it...
M-O-O-N, that spells @Rhyatt

Laws yes!
AND... if they weren't account-bound, a friend who wanted to try a vehicle out before buying one might have actually bought a Prototype Jet. When he learned they were account bound, he swore to never buy a vehicle. Ever.
But its the new source of revenue in the game so in order to make sure everyone buys them they make them bound to account.
This wouldn't even be as much of a problem if the Z-Store was available on the PTS and I wouldn't even be all that upset over account binding, but now there is absolutely no way to try a jet before you buy it.
Well, that's a lie. I guess a friend could give you a vehicle and you could copy your character to PTS and try it there and give the vehicle back, but good god that is a horribly roundabout and inconvenient way just to TEST something.
I didn't even buy a tank with Zen. I bought a Ridgeback in the AH for 1250 globals and thought I was getting a deal since most were going for 1.5k-2k.
Nope. Only three attacks, no room for utility powers. I'd love to have given it to someone else or sold it back (complete with defense and support mods!) but noooooooooooo.
Technically, I believe you can mod them before equiping, and almost everyone that won won from the store or drifter or lockbox is trading them for Gs, so that about halves the revenue, by the logic that one person buys, then gives them to another for G so he/she doesn't have to use money, in all, someone does by them, but they still get traded for either G or items.Coming back to the OP's topic now, I think that this would be cool, for those who bought something expecting some certain attribute of them, and do not want said vehicle anymore.
Consolidate currency!
Munitions additions
Petition to take in game report spam function out
Why not to do surveys and free offers
If i have the power to become other thing, and stop that by be able to trade the become device out self acount. It not normal to have a device that become to vehicule have to be bound. Self power can be trade but not a vehicule? You dont see the BUG, or a bad idee out of sence?
Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
Or about ?60.00 to (guarantee) getting the cheapest one from the drifter store
Or a ????.?? gamble
AND IT'S BIND ON EQUIP/LOCKED TO ONE F'ING CHARACTER???!?!?!?!?!?!
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
I was pissed after the crafting unlocks and other previously free device and costume pieces went in the drifter store as legacy random bags, and the Become Celestial was 200 Drifters Salvage, but this.
Seriously why do I even bother.....
In a former life I was known as Supercollide
Ok for one thing, what I have highlighted in red is incorrect. It's BtAoE (Bind to Account on Equip)
Also it's not all bad, Perfect World (read: not Cryptic) has reimbursed me for mine when I was polite, clear, concise, and firm in wanting a store-credit refund for not getting the product I paid for initially when it was in the final/live release. So "why do I even bother" comments are just undue negativity, honestly. (not that there isn't reason for negativity with some things, but it's not all doom & gloom if you're a proactive person)
