Since honor/valor gear is character locked and cannot be unlocked (unbound) as rest of gear maybe it should be possible to Unlock it for same account at least?
While im not big fan of lock/bound system in general i think current honor/valor system is way too harsh.
Main "reason" was people not to reuse/resell gear nonstop and force everyone to get their own gear.
If you are hardcore/active player you have mostly multiple chars you work on and it makes this extremely hard.
Also take in account that Crystal defender mostly never starts due to lack of players so even getting honor gear is very hard regardless how good you are or how often you would want to do it.
I would imagine it could work like this that you could use same unbind (or different kind one) from item mall or honor shop to unlock honor/valor gear and it would be moved to storage and get status "bind on acquire".
So if any other character on same account takes it it gets locked.
Since it costs points or item mall every time and would be locked inside same account still it would avoid general trade but would give limited chance to move gear around own account at least.
