Vanities should be transferable

My most recent quest for a section 31 vanity for my new main has sparked some conversation and debate amongst my armada, an armada of roughly 3000 people btw. The main point of discussion has been about vanities and how they should, at this point, be transferable between toons, atleast that's the conclusion most of the people in my armada armada have been involved have come too. Character binding a vanity item like that makes no sense to us. Yes it has a super low drop rate, but that's all the more reason it should be account bound, cause just getting one per account is lucky as it is unless your a whale player. Most of us also don't use half the vanities we do have on our mains. My old main toon has probly half a dozen lockbox vanities on it and I only really use 2 of them. Would be so nice if we could split those vanities between other toons, new and old, to create themed toons and such whenever we hit that inevitable stale stage with whatever toon we last mained. If it wasn't for the fact that vanities are purely cosmetic, I wouldn't even suggest this, consoles can stay character bound as far as I'm concerned. But imo, vanities should be bound to account, not character

> The ones purchased from the dil store when they show up there are account-bound - and obviously not a crapshoot within a crapshoot on being able to actually get one.
From what I'm hearing console isn't even gonna get the Dil vanity store. So most of us arnt holding our breath on that. Not to mention from what I was told the vanities were like 200k dil a pop. That's literally months of dil processing EVERY DAY.
They priced them that way to get people to throw zen on the market to help reduce the upward pressure against the cap on the exchange and get it functioning again for a little while, and also to help reduce the stockpiles of dil some players were complaining about not having anything to spend it on. Like most things lately it was aimed at the whales, not the average player.
As mentioned, they're intended as a bit of a Dil sink, to remove it from folks who've got piles.
That said - at 8k/day, 200k is 25 days of processing. Less than one month. Still not 'cheap', of course.
(meanwhile, for someone like me who has slowly built up to 11 characters, I can get 22k/day just from doing a Contraband turn-in on each one. If I add Admiralty & a bit of Doffing, that goes up into the 30k+ range. And that's without being a "serious Dil farmer." But yeah, that's just an issue of "new player with 1 character vs Old Time Players with lots". It's a never-ending issue in long-running MMOs and trying to balance their economies.)
