To any one with an Admiral of Bling

[Gkar]

The only logical conclusion I can take from this is that they feel the BTA nature of the hats is over powered. I expect the DDO Store-purchased hats to be nerfed to BTC next.

The thing that made them worth buying was that they were BtA and not BtC. If they took that step I'd be demanding a refund.

They might make them BtC for future sales (if they want to kill their sales) but it would be totally inappropriate to make the change retroactive. Heck, they left the known bugged/exploitable BtA huge bages BtA. If they weren't going to retro bind a store item with a known exploit then it would be totally in appropriate to bind a store item with no attached exploit.

Well had they made it bound to charater in the first place I would have made it different. I made it level 9 so that all my casters can use it balance 10 wizardry V now it's bound to my PALLY!!!! this is BULL!!!!!!

Bound to account items you can get for free on every new toon you make is sort of a licence to print items. I was surprised they did that in the first place.

Is that how it works on the actual PAX winners?

Those of us that won one on the MyDDO Lottery only got a single hat, and we assumed the ability to switch it between characters on the account was one of the intended features.

It may print hats it did not however print the resources needed to actually make them worth using.

What good is another BTC hat from lotto or store when you could buy one if need be from the box in Smugglers. So those who bought another using points (real money) got ripped off. Had they known it was going to be BTC I am sure they would have just got another Dread Admiral from the box in Smugglers and saved their points for something more useful.

I too had a few I was saving up on my bank char... as of yet untouched because I was still thinking what to do with them... but as it stands, my bank char will have a nice stack of 12 of them... They will be quite usefull now.. wonder if I should just sell them off... sad to see them go, they DID look quite spiffy...

The problem most likely lays in the fact that the Swag Bag Voucher that you got from PAX East 2011, gave not only the BtA Admiral of Blonf, but unbound or BtA XP Pots, I can;t remember if they were bound BtA or Unbound at the moment. The 10 vials of Hand Sanitizer were BtC though.

They were/are BtA. So are the small gems of fortune or whatever they are called.
