Do you think Dilithium should be bound to account instead of the character?

    I'm confused by the purpose of this poll, a safe way already exists.

    Nope. In the off chance someone buys my 25:1 offer before I cancel it and reclaim the dil on a second character, I would be ecstatic.

    In other words, we already have a safe enough method, reinventing the wheel is not needed.

    On the other hand, adding a dilithium bank to fleets would be appreciated.

    If it was safe the poll wouldn't be here. Has the transfer method changed?

    The method has not changed, and except for user error it is perfectly safe as it always has been.

    I voted yes, not because the method should be safer (as noted, it's perfectly safe), but because it should be more intuitive.

    Yes, but I'd go one further:

    All Dil accrued should be to the account, not on a per character basis.

    Umm if someone is silly enough to pay 25 zen per Dil and buy my dill... then WINNING!!!!

    The system won't allow them to. The system will automatically connect them with a better deal than the one they were asking for. Your dilithium will remain untouched unless the market bottomed out in under five minutes.

    Allowing this method is just reinforcing the use of multiple toons as dil farmers.

    But seriously, just put a Dilithium Bank in players' Account Bank alongside the existing EC Bank.

    It's already relatively simple to do. I'll agree it's not that intuitive, but I don't really care to have time wasted fixing something that isn't broken.

    Leave things as they are in this regard. Otherwise, it would give the devs something else to break.

    Threads like this would be a reason for me to vote "yes" on a "Do you want user polls to be deactivated"-poll.

    No. The Exchange is relatively safe.


    But I agree with warmaker001b. It should be on an account basis, and not limited to one character.

    If someone would sell you their zen for 25 dil you'd hit the jackpot. Literally. How is that bad?

    a better question would have been 'Would you like to see an easier way to transfer dilithium between characters on your account'
    i would have voted no though. not because i dont believe a dil field in the account bank has no merit, because i do. but i fear cryptic would decide the current exchange method is an 'exploit' or whatever and make it impossible for f2p to transfer dil amongst their toons, in addition to pushing a buggy system on the rest of us. i reckon we should just count our blessings and leave things as they are.​​

    Would you like to see a safe way to transfer dilithium between characters on your account?

    That's 2 questions, both of which I answer no to.

    Account bound and pooled dil would be a PITA, once it is account bound then how can we trade it for shiny zen?

    We can safely transfer dil using dil exchange, with the added bonus that occasionally some numpty might just buy it at 25 per zen...

    Agreed. And there ARE bugs in the dil exchange as it is. I've seen someone's screenshot of it, and it was reported, and possibly fixed though I haven't yet had a chance to follow up with them.

    That would be great, you can take the zen tyou make and resell it at normal value and make a 1000% profit.

    Some might consider the current method to be an exploit, but it works. If Cryptic decides to shut it down, then I would hope for another method...

    I answered NO, because either use your freakin alts or, don't have any! There is already a perfectly viable way, to transfer refined between characters, ore does not need a method of account wide spreading, because you either earn it on each character or, go without!!!
