- The Aegis Set pieces have had their Bind Rules updated to Bind on Equip to Account.
- This change will affect any newly created Aegis Set gear and brings the Bind Rules in line with the other High End Crafting Gear.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this, though

I'd think "newly crafted" means anything crafted as of today. So your few sets should not be updated. Maybe you can check it, though

It is technically possible. Problem is, they just don't care. If they did care, they would have spent the extra time to make the change. Seems if you did something the old way or actually used the old system when it was in place you get punished. Once again shows not caring about the players who actually supported them before the "great" expansion.
Sorry after today's update I just really irritated with the game. Guess I need to go to my time out corner and vent...lol
I'm also of the opinion they should fix existing ones. The swap out would be an acceptable work around.
If it were account bound I might actually play around with it more. Otherwise, it's too expensive.
EDIT: And by "reported" I mean I created bug reports and trouble tickets.
IIRC, older Aegis Set may still be in the "Infinity Mark" state until you open them in the upgrade screen- maybe that can "trick" the system to reset the bind state? But I doubt it.
*) Maybe not that weird if you think about that something like "+30 to Starship Emitters" or "2.5 % proc to heal hull on receiving hull damage" or whatever is a fixed on all instances of an item. Basically, all Aegis Sets can reference to the same information for this. But the bind state is something that each individual item you own must have set for itself, it can't refer to any other source. It may be a question of who is "pulling" data from a source, and who can "push" data to a target.
Did you make a thread in the bug forum and include your bug report ticket number? I know frost gets bugs on the devs list, but I often think customer service deletes the tickets without telling anyone.
No, the patch notes have an amendment which states that the "change will affect any newly created Aegis Set gear and brings the Bind Rules in line with the other High End Crafting Gear." Nowhere does that say this is only for Aegis Sets create as of today in the new crafting system. To me that reads as an addition to not exclusive of.
Then there is this...

So in my opinion this is still bugged.
well your reading is off imo... "newly created" means new items crafted post patch. old aegis sets are stuck as bind on character.
How do you read "existing items will be updated" in "changes will affect any newly created items"?
Newly created. As in, after the patch, you create one item. Otherwise it's not a "newly created" item.

Simple, the first line is
Not to mention devs have stated in the past this feature should have been implemented on existing set pieces. Regardless I can see how the statement is ambiguous and would appreciate a dev to clarify if indeed this fix is ONLY for newly created sets or all sets.
I love the set; I have one - on a character that I wish to delete. I wont (nor should I) justify spending 15-20million EC on purchasing the set for a second time, when (by rights) it should be bound to account, nor character.
