Tribbles from C-Store Purchases

Can it be fixed that we can rebuy the tribble on other characters in the same account? Or at least change the wording on the tribbles in the c-store that it's a one time purchase for an entire account?

    I just bought me a ToB in the C-Store and sold it on the exchange, cause i needed EC.

    Now I gathered 300 Zen again and.. No ToB in the store any more :confused:

    Yeah, tribbles in the z-store are only purchasable once per account for some reason beyond me. Apparently Cryptic is allergic to money, because I'd totally buy the Tribble of Borg and Fluidic Space Tribble for at least two of my toons.

    It seems this has been a problem since the game went free to play from what I gather. Apparently the Tribble of Borg, and possibly the other tribbles in the C-store, were a single purchase account unlock before the game went free to play. When the game switched to F2P they made the tribbles in the C-store single purchase items where you have to purchase it for each character. Somehow it got bugged.

    From my experience, I purchased a single Tribble of Borg in the C-store in early November 2012. It no longer shows up in the C-store on any character for purchase, even 2 new characters I created in February 2013. The C-store description says the ToB comes "packed in a box and becomes bound when unpacked" but this is not true in the least. It came unpacked, no box and was unbound until I equipped it. Also when I go to the Cryptic store website the ToB shows up while NOT logged in but after logging into the site it misteriously vanishes. Here in this thread from back in December 2012 I posted links to screen shots as evidence. (In February I necroed the thread and got a warning for it and the thread was closed by pwebranflakes, so I'm pretty friggen sure they are WELL aware of the issue, but choose not to fix it for some reason) http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=7105161&postcount=5

    Evidence of how long this has been bugged and where I got the info on the switch to F2P:

    This was from doing a forum search for thread title for the words "tribble of borg" and this isn't even all of them. You can clearly see it has been bugged for over a year now.

    The C-store description indicates that you can buy as many as you want. I would also like to think they should have fixed it when season 7 launched, i.e., Omega reputation involves the Borg so you would think they would fix it so they could sell more Tribble of Borgs so people can have a slight boost for doing ground STFs when farming Omega marks. :mad:
