Transfering Bound mods to Your alts! :)

[voyak]

from TORWars

​Hello TORWarriors!  Something has been on my mind and I wanted to bring it to you guys and pick your brains.  Have you ever wanted to use your main character to easily get high-level raid gear for your alternate characters?  In the oldest of MMORPGs it was possible to do exactly that. Gear that is “bound” prevents you from taking this short-cut with your second character.  However, BioWare has introduced the concept of rare gear that is “bound to legacy”.  This means any character on your legacy can benefit from a drop your main character gets.  As-is, the gear is of limited usefulness, but some of it is fully moddable.  Once the mod slots are filled with “bound” raid-drop mods, the legacy gear becomes a container for high level mods that you can send to your alt.

Gear stays in the family

Getting high-level bound mods to your alt makes the new “Bind to Legacy” gear exciting and interesting.  Legacy vendors on the capital worlds sell bind-to-legacy moddable gear for about 100,000 credits each slot.  This creates something of a credit sink.  Yet the practice of smuggling these mods across your legacy and sometimes across faction lines is almost certainly unintended.  So I ask you TORWarriors, what should BioWare do, if anything, to legacy smuggling?  Is this a cool trick or cheat?

I would suggest it's an exploit and BW may take retrospective action on it. Also, not many of us are in the position of having high end raid mods "going spare"
