If Lobi Store costumes and Ships were account wide, would you buy them?

    i really do not have problem with the lockbox ships , as they can be bought off the exchange too, and the prizes are OK.

    what disturbs me are the LOBI's.
    - there should be no COSTUMES in the lobi store.
    - there should be no SET UPGRADES in the lobi store (this will change when the Jem'Hadar reputation comes out)
    - Lockbox specific weapons/consoles are OK there..

    I vaguely remember a statement by Stahl that perhaps costumes could go into a GPL store. They would not sell anymore costumes in the C-Store. Now we see that half way come to fruition.

    I would buy more lock boxes if the Lobi was account bound. As it stands now, I have several toons that could use the Crystaline to MK XII conversion. I am not purchasing that since all my Lobi is on a toon that already has it. I also plan to stop purchasing lock boxes until they stop exploiting me.

    Cryptic will just have to put my money in the should have gotten it but didn't catagory.


    ... too bad really.

    Lobi is useless, it needs to be account bound, I have a little chunk of lobi strewn over 4 toons, but unfortunately for cryptic I'm not wasting Zen to get keys over several toons just to get something that might equally be "character-bound".

    I think in theory almost all buyable items should be account bound except for certain shiny consoles.

    I been putting up some posts about using Latnum to buy Lobi crystals. you get 2-8 crystals for 2,000 Latnum.

    So 800 Lobi items would cost max 800,000 to 200,000 depending on your luck opening the packs up.

    This will bring people back to the Dabo tables in mass and it will give you somthing to do with latnum other than by hologram immiters and tropys

    It also will help people get some of the small pets and equipment.

    Thanks

    Would be nice...but I imagine costs would be higher...especially when you can win 200k GPL with a single spin.

    ..you can win 200k on a single spin? how? is there a way to circumvent the maximum bet?

    I'm already buying them, like many people in game... Sure i'd like to be able to use them on my other chars but the fact is that i have two main chars and don't really care about what my other toons wear.

    There, I did it. Cleaned out every toons bank as well as my account bank to buy 1 clothing item off the exchange because I didn't have enough lobi.

    So is the unopened ferengi energy whip box from the lobi store bound on pickup ? I need to make some of that money back.

    Ships? No. I'm not so much fussed about these and am okay with them being character unlocks. The uniforms however, they're purely cosmetic and I find it outrageous that they're character specific thus have never, and will never purchase any of them.

    While I'd like it for myself, anything that slows the demand for keys would be less profitable for me. That said, if less people are opening lockboxes since they have what they want in terms of big stuff? Then the other stuff found in the lockboxes might go up in price as well.

    Hmm... I'm not sure!

    No. All the weapons are bind on pickup.

    Yeah... the fact that a lot of those outfits are in the Off Duty slot bogs this down too.

    I would buy keys out of the C-Store and the Exchange more often if Outfits were account bound. ;)

    Right now were trying to get Lobi crates with 2 to 8 crystals for 2,000 latnum.

    That way more people will comeback to the dabo wheel and small things like costumes and space pets will get purchased while

    800 lobi ships will take a huge grind. or 200,000 Latnum.

    Thanks
