We need more account wide options in the store

I made a Hobbit champ and LM, and stopped playing them because for me, travel reduction time is essential, and I just did not want to purchase the travel time reductions for another 2 characters, it's just too expensive. And I really wanted a Steed of Michel Delving mount for each of them too, but it's just too much.

It would really be nice if the Store had more account wide purchases for stuff like that. And an account wide 250 health for mounts would be nice too, like you have for the account wide 78% mount speed.

Will be nice to be able to unlock with LP a 250 moral (akin to the +68% speed) upgrade for all present & future steeds. I will certainly buy a accountwide 300 health steed (equivalent to the +78% speed) upgrade if such trait existed at LOTRO store. :cool:

Don't see why they did not make account wide items years ago.

Agreed.

I refuse to buy any steeds in the store unless they are account-wide.

I love the game, hate the store. I understand they need to make money to keep the game running but some things are just beyond reason, this for example.
Probably my biggest complaint is storage in game, seriously needs to be account wide when you pay that much money to unlock a few slots of vault space and on top of that you have to pay even more for shard storage and wardrobe, every mount you buy should be account wide period. This list could go on and on but I agree..more things need to be account wide.

so much #### in the store i'd buy if it were acct wide. AS a general rule i buy nothing that isn't acct wide.

I very much agree! What turns me off about spending more money in the store is the fact that I have to buy the same thing for more than one character. It would be interesting if store items were released for all characters, even if it was necessary to pay a "fee" of 10 or 15% more in LP.

I doubt that it will ever happen, but it would be nice for all mounts to become unlocked accountwide. I do not just mean from a financial perspective (i.e. more money can be made selling mounts per character), but even with things like festivals and the like. The amount of time spent on say, something like the Buried Treasure event acquiring mounts for one character alone can take forever. But to then have to do so for every subsequent character just makes it feel punitive and a waste of time. There are plenty of other games where things like this simply become an accountwide unlock.

I do appreciate, however, that this may jar with certain deed based mounts, such as the Moria Meta deed goat, where it is a reward for that character's efforts.

I'll second this one, especially regarding the travel cooldown reductions. I'd drop extra cash on the game without hesitation to reduce my travel cooldown and purchase extra milestone skills ****IF**** they were account wide and not just for a single character. If SSG is truly trying to bring LOTRO up to snuff with the more "modern" games, then account wide VS character based unlocks in the store should be a hard focus for the team. Again, I understand monetization, but you have to consider the benefit to revenue that would come with more people actually buying in on something. I've held off in the last few point bonus sales because I simply don't see much use in stockpiling more points than I already have unless I see more things to spend the points on (and mind, I already own 1 of every single type of premium house, including a personal mead hall, personal kin island, and personal erebor kin house). I have 14 lvl 140s, so character bound unlocks like that are not appealing. If they were made account-wide, I would wipe out my thousands of points almost immediately and likely throw even more money at the game just gto get all of those boosts and such.
