    This isn't in defense to SE, more consumer education. This shouldn't be a selling point when there is a "Brand New Ring" in-game that has the same bonus in one slot for 10 mins of effort and better stats via the Novice Tutorial for free.

    Agreed. For the price of these items though, they should be account wide, not character specific. The XP bonus is pretty pointless since you don't really want to be wearing those 3 pieces at level 15+ instead of real gear, the defensive and stat bonuses are of course not there, and no amount of bonus XP will compensate for eating the floor repeatedly.

    I agree with you. However, for the rather steep price (regardless of whether it is the same as the original items in the original markets), these items should have been account wide. All the items from the original 7/11 promotion that were brought over were account wide, and that is as it should be. I have a problem with glamour items, mounts and minions being character specific instead of account wide. Other than that though the shop really doesn't have a huge amount of things, and doesn't really detract from the game, while at the same time generating increased revenue that can be plowed (and has been) back into the game.

    I can't imagine many people investing in these glamour items for their Alts, and I would suggest that in actuality, more people would buy them if they were account wide since the perceived value would be higher. I think making them character specific limited sales a bit, and making them account wide not only be good PR, but would also increase sales.

    But, what do I know, I'm only a customer.

    PS. Fantasia needs an account wide option too.

    I completely agree with you on this.
