Secondly the question "how many.." is not a yes/no-question.
Thirdly well I'm full with the whole scrab charbound thing.
Items still charbound should be made accbound at least most of them. Some like reward-boxes and the like may in a few cases still necessarily kept as charbound but the rest could be changed.
Especially a way to move lockbox ships from one char to another would be awesome.

No to rep items.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
I have hardly earned enough money to be able to buy on the exchange the Mobius, the Wells and the temporal costumes. All of them came from the Temporal lockbox.
Additionnally i have acquired the Temporal Warfare set from the Loby.
The problem is: Everything are on only one character. If a hacker erase this character then i'll lost all this hard work. Making at least the loby and lockbox items account bound will solve this problem.
Rep items, non-generic mission rewards (set items, unique or mission specific items) should always be bind to character.
This is a poorly considered question.
It's not really a meaningful poll - there is little reason why a player would want to suffer any type of restriction, if given the choice. Doesn't mean it's something that would be good for the game itself.
Its a straight forward question. Why should a player have to repeat all that hard work on alts from his/her primary toon???? Its too repetitive. Why can't you see that?
Things such as lobi consoles like the Bioneural Infusion Circuits should be bound to account. Universal consoles such as Theta Radiation should be bound to account as well. Universals such as those you get on ships should be bound to the individual character you have the ship on.
Overall I say yes because there are certain things that should be BoA, but there are certain things that shouldn't either.

As for repetitive, playing through as a different class is not the same. Furthermore, if you think repeating a mission on an alt for a reward, or completing a (accelerate due to sponsorship) rep faction and working for all the rep gear you want for that alt is repetitive, imagine what it would be like if you had no reason to do any of that. What motivation would you have to do any content on an alt then? None, at, all. You get your alt to 60 and that's it, no STFs no featured episodes, you've done all that on you main, why stop at gear, the rep traits too, they're a grind so have them bound to account too.
So yeah, get everything bind to account and remove roughly 70% of the motivation to play an alt because it will be all but pointless when you can just pass your gear across from your main.
What next? Auto leveled to 60 alts because leveling is "too repetitive"???
Instead of asking for the game on a silver platter because you can't be bothered why not consider exactly why such systems are in place before making entitlement demands.
It's poorly though out "I want it all now" attitudes like this that really tempt me to get abusive.

Rep gear, fleet gear, some mission rewards, and C-Store ship consoles should be character bind.
Lockbox weapons, random loot, crafted gear, and possibly rep store items (maybe, I don't really care here one way or another), should ALL be accound bind on equip.
The "shortcut" for rep items saves you a mere 600 marks, provided you spend 100 more on the sponsor. Not much of a savings when you could spend up to 5000 for the various things in the reputation system. Now multiply that by the number of characters on the account that want that rep gear and hope the next rep set doesn't end up being better for them.
It isn't cheap and it isn't much of a savings. They are far too expensive and time consuming to be buying for even every other character, especially when it is very likely to be a wasted investment when the next reputation system comes out. For me it means less experimentation, less upgrading, less interest in playing the content long enough to afford a set.
I think more account wide rewards done a little Delta Recruits would be nice.
