Share Questionite Account Wide?

Wouldn't it be better if all the questionite your characters have farmed be collected together account wide? Every character in that account has access to the questionite and can sell or buy it. Questionite ore on the other hand will remain separate among characters.

I just think there would be people like myself that can't just play one character all the way until he has enough questionite to spend.

    Would be nice for the players of course, but for Cryptic it would just that players can even easier farm it,
    so i see the chances on getting that rather low.

    God yes please I jump about toons so much I have almost zero chance of building up a Q to the point I can buy much of anything.

    I really don't see why you say that:
    • each character has an individual refining limit (Which, in theory, ought to prevent farming... but can be bypassed)
    • one can easily switch refined Questionite between their alts.

    In other words, it wouldn't make the exploiters' job harder, but would give the legitimate players a way to handle their stock in a less cumbersome manner...

    Just farm with all your characters and then transfer the Questionite to your main (or rather to a single character, as gear is Bind-on-Equip, and the unlocks are account-wide...)

    Anyway, /signed cause I'm not fan of Questionite transfer / logging-relogging...

    Its just that the switching is still another little time-sink, and in the end MMOs are all about timesinks.

    Yes, true, there's that...
    Well, signed anyway, cause it's an hindrance even for legitimate users.

    This punishes the altoholics.

    We already punish ourselves enough, we don't need any more!

    You can transfer refined questionite? That I did not know. How do you do via in game male like items or dose it involve something more complicated.

    Type in /questionite

    Offer your questionite for 50 Q for 1 CP so that nobody buys it.

    Relog on your collector chaaracter and cancel the auction, after that he can collect the Q.

    :eek:

    Jeeze, if it's THAT easy, just let us do it officially (ala "Shared Bank" mechanics) and get it over with :rolleyes:

    Put this idea right next to the "Leave instance NOW" buttton and call it a day ;)

    That seems pretty strait forward

    Which is why I predict this will be "fixed" before too long, much like how the ability to transfer resources was.

    Is there a way to direct-trade Questionite with other players or can it only be auctioned?
    Cause i'd be happy with either being able to transfer the Questionite from some of my occassional-only characters to either my main one to buy the electric travel power i'm saving up for or alternatively handing it over from to a team-mate whose character is saving up for some of the swinging versions.

    They allow us a shared bank though the hideouts.

    I don't see why they can't put a questionite tab in the hideout bank, rather than make us go through silly contortions to get it all on one toon, or punishing peeps for playing alts by "fixing" it so we can't do the silly contortions.

    Never was on STO.
    Also, on top of the rage it would induce, it'd kill any interest in that resource.
    Can you picture yourself playing one single character just to gather 250k Q with a limit of 8k per day?
    I don't think that's what they want.
    However:
    I don't see why they can't put a questionite tab in the hideout bank, rather than make us go through silly contortions to get it all on one toon, or punishing peeps for playing alts by "fixing" it so we can't do the silly contortions.
    They might just be doing it so part of the population, the unaware part, would go "Damn, I'll never be able to have all that Q with one toon, let me buy it."
    A bit like the "mistakes" in their announcements for new stuff.
    (Yeah I'm paranoid, but it's either that: conscious misleading, or lack of a simple proofread. Which one is worse is up to you...)

    After reading everything in this thread, I'm guessing that those of use playing free accounts are pretty much out of luck transferring Questionite between toons on different accounts.

    Pretty much.

    Although anybody that was on this thread wouldn't care. It's over a year old.

    Deliciously nutritious!

    It's still something that would be very, very useful to have.

    Especially considering some of the Q-gear is Bind on Pickup. I'd love to buy it as levelling gear for my lowbies, but the only way I can do it is by trying the whole "Sell Zen" fakeout trick.

    It's something players already do anyway, so making it easier would be a step in the right direction regarding quality of life. :)
