Character-bound Honing Shards

[xDDD]

Why are the Harmony Shards/Life Shards/Honor Shards character-bound? It's absolutely garbage that you can have 100k+ Harmony Shards on a character and have no way to use them on your alts.

They are in the currency tab and every other currency is roster-shared. This implies that they specifically made it so the shards weren't.

This was a feelsbad moment for me when my first character had a 40k surplus in Harmony shards whilst moving to T2. Lesson learned the hard way.

Saw them on my currency tab and thought they were roster bound. Sneaky.

i feel with you , they should be account wide and not character bound
i really should have saved them for when my future main get released

[tankanidis]

everything should be roster wide

its pointless to have heaps of bound stuff on one character that cant use it and have to re-farm it on another character

to those who say that this is somehow 'content', its not

It's just stress for players to have to keep everything in boxes in roster storage and only open them one at a time for fear of it getting locked on a character that no longer needs it

Pointless system of bounding

[HighLanderPony]

Yeah, this part is asinine. Especially, since it appears in the same place where other, roster-wide currencies do. It's unintuitive and misleading.

I don't see any reason why all of the bound honing stuff can't be roster-bound.
The only logic I can see is, like tankanidis said, "content" to pad out the playtime or something.

[Dragonmaster]

Its a material I too find confusing. Like pretty much EVERY other currency is roster bound, why make the shards NOT even though most honing materials are tradable as well.

Frankly imo, they should remove the character binding on ALL honing materials and instead any "BOUND" materials are roster bound instead of character bound to still prevent these from being sold on the AH. So now instead of BOUND & TRADABLE, you have ROSTER-BOUND & TRADABLE materials. wont affect the market on ANY of them.

Plus this will let you WASTE your higher tier characters chaos runs IF YOU CHOOSE to help gear out an alt by getting more shards/materials.

or at least the ability to re-bag thm for a fee i dont care if i have to pay 10g per 500 shards bags even if the bag is rooster bound and cant be sold/given to other players
