Shared RP

More and more items give us RP, it's just like another currency today. It's not the first time someone suggest this, but i think it's time.
First of all, i'm not asking to remove anything (like BtC RP), just to make it faster for us (i.e. like we were using ZAX to move AD from one toon to another, i mean, all this we can do already, only it take us time to send RP from one toon to another).
I think it shouldn't be THAT hard to add. A few ways that came to mind:
1.- Totally transparent for the user: add "Shared RP" entry to "Riches" tab. Any BtC item when converting to RP goes to actual RP entry (on changes here), any non bound AND BtA items that can be converted, goes to new "Shared RP" entry AUTOMATICALLY. Then, just add "shared RP" entry in bank so we can transfer this RP from toon to bank.
2.- (This one might be easier to implement) Add "Shared RP" entry for bank only. Once you click on it, open a personalized (sorta) "Convert to refinement points" window, with the filter that is used to post things in AH, but this time gey out only BtC items, and make visible both non bound AND BtA items, or, even better, just show BtA and non bound items without greying out BtC ones directly. Click on item to convert and store RP in bank directly. If your toon need more RP, transfer Shareable RP to already existing RP entry. But this way we will not be able to transfer it back (im ok with this)

When using RP to refine stuff, make it works like old id scrolls: first BtC RP and then, if needed, use shared RP.

BtC RP is silly in this game. There is absolutely no reason for it.

Your idea of sharing RP is solid and a big QoL item but the simplest thing to would be:
• leave all items as they are (even though BtC RP items are silly)
• leave the RP in riches as is, there is no reason to make a shared item in the riches. it should all just be one pool of RP in riches.
• add a Shared RP box to the shared bank
• allow the transferring of any RP in a toons riches to and from the shared bank

This should work no differently than gold, tokens, ad, etc. There's absolutely no reason to gum up the works because of some stubborn reluctance from the devs to simplify their binding system by removing BtC from certain items.

Yeah, that would be great, but after all this time, well, i get used to BtC RP. They say its antibotting measure, sorta, ehem. So i'll ok with sharing BtA and non bound RP at least.

If you want to share RP drop your unbound/BtA stones in your shared bank.

And this is what i'm doing now (and using mail too if needed). But the idea is to get rid off those RP stacks/items altogether, and not bother with transfer RP from toon nº2 to toon nº1 today, from toon nº3 to toon nº6 tomorrow, remember where you have that stack of opals, etc. This will also free some slots in inv and bank

Which is why I generally tend to mulch RP wherever I tend to pick it up. 9 characters going. If one of them does need more RP, then I transfer it as I suggested.
