Character only unlock should be turned to account-wide unlock for Picard Bundle Replica Tommy gun?

I've seen a lot of people talk about the Replica Tommy Gun, and how it's only character unlock except for the single instance several years ago when it was made account unlock for a single event. So I have to ask, what's the point in spending like $200 USD for a gun that I only get on 1 character, when I can't even buy the gun ever again for another character? Like, if I don't get that gun for my whole account I will never buy that pack ever. Kinda sad too because, there's a lot of neat things I kinda want. But it's silly for a weapon to be bound to character and not account. :disappointed:

    I sympathise with you, I have the same question regarding the Boff's in LvL 65 Legendary Packs. It's bitter that we can't reclaim them on other toons.

    This is why some of my people only have one version of stuff cause i for one will not buy something x times for multiple toons. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

    In the end, it's all about micro-transactions, which is their cash cow. This feature is the reason I don't have many alts, which reduces the replay value and the longevity of the game. They should look at the incentive for the players that would be willing to make purchases that are account wide vs. the player base that will buy things multiple times for each captain. I might even be amiable to a "pay this for a single character" price and a "pay this for an account unlock" price as long as it's reasonable.

    The old bundles like the Delta Pack had account-wide reclaim for the boffs, though it had faction-specific (Fed, KDF, Rom) intel boffs instead of shared ones.

    Premium bundles really should be offering this for everything except services (x ship slots) and consumables (x upgrade tokens). They also should make the one jump-to-level-65 token in some bundles so that it can be sold on the exchange.

    The tommy gun should be made available in the phoenix box or Mudds

    The Tommy gun was an account unlock for the event, it should be an account unlock from the Zstore too. It's kind of silly that it isn't.
