It is just an inconvenience for lockboxes themselves to not be account bound, the items that come out of them are account bound(not the marks, but should I be able to choose where that mark ends up?) Since lockboxes are "made" by a player playing for a period of time and don't require skill to get, just luck and commitment there isn't a real reason to have them character bound. Say I get a lockbox on my lvl 10 while farming legends, should I get a reward for a level 10 when I could have done the same thing on my cr 89?
OK, say that your level 10 Character gets a lock box. AT the time that character receives it I think the contents are fixed. Now I could be wrong about this. You then give the cr 89 the lock box from the level 10 character. And when the CR89 character open the lock box and receives Level 10 items, how will this help the CR 89 character. In the reverse, the level 10 character cannot use the items that are rated for the CR89 character except for marks. I think I will leave it at that. I would say not a really great idea IMO.
this isnt about marks 15 mow a month please go run the t4 alerts and theres your 15 marks. What this is really about is the gear why lvl your toon up when you can throw the box in the bank switch toons and get lvl 79 rings and neck. Devs are smarter then what you give them credit for
Like Kitsune said, the reason the boxes themselves are probably not account bound is because the reward out of them is supposed to be catered towards the character that recieved the box. Since the items are account bound, this is really a non-issue.
I am confused about what you posted. I never said it was about marks. I never said anything about the devs. I think you may not have understood what it is, that I posted. If that is the case I ask please request clarification before jumping to conclusions.
This is not about marks at all, I could care less about getting more marks of war, especially the 1 I would get from a lockbox. Yes what inspired me is getting more rings/necks or hell even a support soda to boost my vit. Its pointless for a lockbox to practically goto waste on a low level/low cr alt on any account. Items from the box are account bound so should the box. heck, it even saves inventory space in some cases(say I only have 1 slot on a toon while the box would give an atk soda and a mark, while I could just put it in the shared bank and pick it up on a toon with 15 open spaces...)
you can make a new toon get to cr 70 in at least 4 to 5 days. the lockboxes have a 30-day expiration. i believe the reason they don't want the boxes themselves to be account bound was to avoid farming them on low lvl toons and passing them to higher level ones. potentially then you can make your high cr toon open more than 15 boxes.
