If this had come out two modules ago I probably would have been interested, if concerned about gear being in the zen shop.
Now? I don't even play my L60 alts. I'll make a Paladin, sure, but unless they're fairly gear-independent it's not going to be a main and it's not like leveling is hard or takes a long time. Even with work my TR was L60 within four days of the start of open beta, and we didn't have twinking in those days unless you'd shelled out for cash packs, or a bunch of easily acquired XP boosters.
Sure, I've got a bunch of alts, 13 characters right now, 6 of them aren't L60, but... They're never going to see use. The gap to bring them up to speed is too high. I can't even maintain my existing 60s, so the idea of buying something to help out new characters is just silly to me at this point.
I bought it and its broken,,,, only the FIRST toon could access it and the posted stats are at lvl 60 for that toon as shown in the news article,,,, ie its no better than gemmed equipment and cannot be upgraded like artifacts can be.... long and short 1500 zen for ONE set of this stuff is a RIP OFF.
I am posting a support ticket as I think ( I HOPE ) this is a bug not a misunderstanding in English.... as the last time I checked account wide unlock meant ALL CHARACTERS not the first to pull down the box

Must be a bug. I bought it and gave to all 14 characters from just the one purchase. Works just like buying a mount.
XP from Leadership tasks are not augmented. It's a bug ? These items say "+10% experience gain", so this XP should be augmented too.
Character experience (purple background) will be, but only you log in to the game to collect your tasks, not using Gateway (which doesn't have any idea what you're wearing).
Profession XP (yellow background) will not be boosted at all.

If you are talking about the gateway, it's not augmented from azures either because you're not in game. Found out about this a while ago. Not a big deal imo though.
Every f2p game I've seen has had some sort of work around to earn "points". That doesn't change the fact that gear in the cash shop, whatever it's caled is just plain flat out wrong. There is no argument that can be made that will convince me otherwise. This is an absolute imo.
Honestly, this being in the zen store is much better than the ability to buy rp and enchantments (that one being the double edged sword of the exchange and freedom to use the items as you like). It's a convenience item. What I personally care about is whether achieving the good stuff is done in a realistic and fairly user friendly way. Something I used to think was the case but have made it quite clear that I don't think it is now. Even buying out the campaigns is more of a cop out, though I don't mind it myself, just the fact that campaigns themselves aren't fun to do and they are extremely expensive.

Thank you!

Yeah, I ran into that too. Only got the legs for some reason.
Maybe a bad code line somewhere concerning the DC?
I hope they fix it soon.
yeah my DC only got pants no shirt..... must be a bug... getting all of the items now for other toons.
Funny that the bugged drop is the one they use for the advertisement.
note to others - save ur zen this stuff is <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>
