So the next CTA is coming out next week, woohoo!
One of the possible rewards will be the Shadow Wolf Mount and I really want one for one of my characters.
The problem is the "one of my characters" will be my Hunter Ranger and the mount is Bind on Pickup.
Now I understand why it's BoP. Normally I say it's not worth being upset about these events giving items for characters you plan to make on the basis of future content releases...
But to me that's when it's speculation. There have been people in the past who said they wanted items for warlocks, druids, paladins and what-not. Well those are not confirmed yet. They are not on any form of release schedule. Heck they might not even be in development.
But the ranger is different. We know it's a ranger. We know it will hopefully be released by the end of the year. We are all already planning our characters for when we can play the ranger on the live server.
And in this sense it's a bit unfair to not be able to procure at least the Shadow Wolf Mount for our upcoming ranger characters. Could we please have the Shadow Wolf be BoE, get a token to aquire one when it comes out or better yet make it an account unlock?
Or then again, I could just be sad since a Shadow Wolf is just a perfect mount for my ranger. So perfect I would actually pay the upgrade fee which I never thought I would pay.
What does the rest of the community think?

I think it would be nice if these event rewards were bound to account. That way, the player can use one character to get the reward and then hold on to it for a future character. Personally, if this Shadow Wolf Mount is indeed a reward, I hope to get it for my Drow Trickster Rogue.
Not likely as the upgrade is done on the character side, not the account side.
To side track a bit, doesn't that weapon skin in the TR pic (in the blog: http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=1025781) looks very similar to the Many Arrows CTA weapon skin? Hopefully the skins will be a different set as mentioned. Love it that we are getting the cruel enchantments again.

The in game tooltip states they will be BoP.
I agree!
I agree. No need to change it up because a new class is around the corner. They should change it on principle and make it so event rewards like the mount aren't BoP.
Hardly practical. These CTA events come out like once every 2 months. Given there are 11 non-level 60 accessible Skirmishes, that's 22 months before you see the same one again! Even Midsummer event and its mount, you get at least once a year...
There is really little excuse for them not being at least account-wide or, if not, to err on the side of caution and go BoE for an item that by itself grants neither player advantage nor generates direct sales for the publisher. Heck, the more players who have a "one-off" mount in their hands, the more likely they would to upgrade it, therefore paying AD/Zen to do it.
On a side note, how come there are no Mount Training tomes/items in the Zen shop to rank up mounts directly?
Please make the mount BoE so that some of us could buy one off the AH in case we don't get it from the event... PLEASE!!!
I really don't like the idea of people selling them on the AH, so I was thinking maybe they can have it where you can trade it in-between characters a certain number of times. Like 3. Not unlimited as that'd just be stupid, switching it back and forth no problem.
First, the Hunter Class, we all know that it is coming out and most people will roll out new toons....
2nd, they have release a green wolf on Zen Store, WHY? so you would know a Wolf mount is in the Zen.
3rd, they release a CTA free Wolf, so you could have a feel for the wolf and say to yourself, it would be awesome if this mount would be use by my hunter class.
4th, Event over, no more CTA wolf and they release Hunter Class, but you want the wolf.
Here is the Zen Wolf comes in... BUY the friggin Mount on Zen Store for your new Hunter Class... get it. LOL.
It just may well be the mounts will be bind on equip.
the claims agent is currently set up to collect purchased pack items and promo items. i wouldn't necessarily call that an account-wide storage area because you can't transfer items in and out of it.
there's probably a lot of different ways that they could implement account wide storage and account bound items. but until they actually implement something along those lines, everything is just speculative.

Of course, until they add account banks it is pointless. Hopefully they can find a way to add those between module 2 and 3.

Zeb, you mean that "bound-to-account" items exist in the form of account unlocks, which can be claimed for every character on an account. This is true.
Dardove, you mean bound-to-account items exist but can't be directly traded if, suppose, a character got a bound-to-account item as a drop/reward, because there's no mechanism for trading them around once a character already has the item. This is also true.
The problem is that there are account unlocks, which are claimable for each character but cannot be traded from one character to another, which precludes items that a character MUST pick up (e.g. a chest reward) in order for the item to be tied to that character's account and cannot be claimed more than once. We don't have items that are actually tradeable between all characters on the same account since there's no mechanism for doing so. All of this relates to the thread because if BoP items could be changed to bound-to-account (i.e. tradeable -- not necessarily infinitely reclaimable -- among characters on the same account), we would be happy with a billion bound shadow wolves regardless of which character they were actually claimed on.
Does this help?

here is a thought i want to suggest.
Why not make the event items unlock in the zen store
once you get it during the event
it will unlock in the zen store for all characters.
this will save alot of time for some players that have
alot of characters.
That won't help those that want the shadow wolf for their rangers as you are saying that it would only be unlocked for the duration of the event so if rangers come out after the event, then those of us would still be out of luck.

no, not what i meant but i wrote that when i was half asleep.
not for the duration, but for keeps. i only thought of it from STO
they have rewards that unlock i the zen store for players
that test content. so i figured why not suggest it.
. . . . . In STO, there is a separate area in the Zen Shop called the "Legacy" tab. In this tab it lists all "Legacy" and Account Unlocks and has little to do with the actual Zen Purchases made in the Zen Store. In Neverwinter, the Reward Claims Agent is our version of this "Legacy" tab.
