    as i said i think that it is understandable for certain items like dungeon entries,cores,enhancers etc. but the other items that dont drop in game face change, black trans mutter, pet accessories, etc. the fact they dont let you gift them is another thing that doesnt help.

    i do believe that any item that can not be found in game should not be account bound. and anything that can be dropped in game can be sold account bound.

    If you where to make items not account bound you would make more money. the fact that they are account bound deters others from buying them to resell for those of the players that cant get ecoins.

    i can understand a few of the higher end items being account bound but the fact that you have basically made all most all items account bound makes it less of a target market for you to sell to.

    Not true. They actually make more money by making them account bound.

    It will force people, who really love this game but kind of wondering if they're going to pay or not, to pay.

    There are way more people that will pay a bit to enjoy the game in compare to people that are willing to spend huge amount of real money in exchange to get in-game money.

    ESTsoft is running business if your way is making more money, they won't change it in first place. They ain't dumb.

    I bet ESTsoft has a team of economists who tell them how to set prices on certain items and how to maximize their profits. Who are we (original poster) to question the judgment of people who are *paid* to figure this stuff out?

    The items in a cash shop are generally intended to benefit the buyer through personalizing and customizing their character (BTs, Face/Hair/Color change, I love you >.<♥I love you >.<♥I love you >.<♥, etc), not for ingame profit. The items are account bound for a very good reason because it keeps them from being leaked in game and handing money around to the people who need to stop being lazy bums and go run dungeons or grind for drops. I'll admit I abused the Core Enhancer Highs in the old OGPlanet cash shop, but even I eventually got sick of spending 20 bucks per stack or some shiz. People who premium, character customizers, etc should be using it to benefit their character and accounts. Not benefit people in game. I'd be more than willing to bet 90% of the people QQing about the bindings have either 1) never had a job in their life or known what it's like to work for your money; or 2) are still 12-16 years old and begging to use mommy and daddy's credit card on the latest and most greatest costume or an SEH (which i am SURE at least a couple of people were desperate enough to buy one) and whining and moanin and gropin when they dont get their way. Yeah......basically, deal with it. A cash shop is for personal use, because each and everyone of us has access to it. If you can't afford to get something from the shop? tough. wait til it comes back or go QQ to mommy about it. But seriously, bit/ching about the account bindings in CS has gotten way too old on here. It's about bloody time y'all grew up and just let it be and EST do their thing.
