Make lockbox consoles account wide, not character-bound

Just to clarify, this is for things such as the Bio-neural warhead and the xindi weapon, and not the consoles that come on lockbox ships

I was wondering what people would think about having lockbox consoles (Hell, lobi store consoles too whilst we're at it, and klink and Romulan unlockable ship traits... Us feds have had it too good for too long) as account-bound unlocks.

I like having as many shiny things as possible, but I just do not have the time and resources to buy lockbox consoles like the plasmonic leech on all of my characters (I mean come on, 87,000,000 EC and it's used in every damn build out there). Some characters become mothballed and shelved, and it would be nice to move some of the more important stuff over to in-use characters.

Would people be annoyed by that? Would it make people more willing to develop alts to have important consoles and stuff interchangeable from other characters?

    Will never be done, simply because Cryptic unfortunately run the game by the Ferengi rules of acquisition, and more people opening lockboxes for I win button consoles on multiple characters equals more money. That simple.

    And those Lobi Consoles should be VR to begin with; 200 Lobi, the equivalent of about $40, and they are Rare only. They are bind to character on pick-up so can't even be sold on the Exchange.

    lobi content is particularly egregious, considering they eliminated any means of getting lobi without spending real money long ago.
