just wondering before I "sugggest" it...
So why won't SK allow us to unbind costumes anyway?

Why this won't work
There are two reasons why this won't work.
1. Costume items aren't ranked. There isn't any way to determine a reasonable unbind cost, since there value varies so much.
2. Event items become devalued. Remember the Halloween masks? Well if people could sell those, all the work that went into getting them would be essentially wasted, since anybody with a good amount of cash can buy one.
Therefore it's a good thing to keep them not unbindable.

It takes time to make money
It takes time to make money in this game. Unless I'm selling CE, I'll have to suffice to making 2.5k on missions runs. Majority of the player base is Tier 2, they don't make that much and aren't too experienced in the clockworks. 3k is about decent of their making for their savings; not the run. The main problem here is that because we're all poor & make barely enough to buy potatoes to feed our children, the economy must sell low in order to make money. Unless Three Rings increases these mission runs to 5k for Tier 2 players & 7k for RJ runs, the economy will continue to undercut items that shouldn't be under valued.

Where did you get that the
Where did you get that the majority of the player base is T2? If anything 40% or more of the players are T1 and are in or barely out of the rescue camp before they leave the game. And a fairly significant chuck is T3. Also, you're undervaluing the layout from RJP. It is reasonable to say that one can make 10k a day running RJP using one day's mist.

40% or more of the players
40% or more of the players are T1
If only that was actually true.
All you have to do is hold on to your mist tanks and you can be T2 in like half an hour doing missions.

It's entirely possible to set a value for unbind.
Set it at the 5* level or higher. So what if some costumes aren't going to be worth unbinding at that price? Don't unbind them, then!

@ Enclavean & forum
Actually, even if the game were to rise in profit for the players, CE will also rise.
If it's Supply = Mutual Demand then the market will be stable/economy would be low?
But if it's Demand = Supply then of course price will go up & the economy will flourish. If profit for players went up then this would happen for sure & because SK is a democracy type game then you know how people can be for CE. One week CE is 6k, next week it's at 15k, basically just doubled.
& basically nothing has changed. Just more green pape.. I mean crowns being wasted. I guess I'm just not used to seeing low profit & low economy at the same time. (this is new to me) I'm not a communist fan but I'm not a democracy fan either lol. Three Rings is the government of this game, there are the F2P & P2P. It balances out the game perfectly but the way the AH works and the way we can buy & sell certain items is a bit hard for me to understand.
Using up 1.5kCE to unbind something to sell for 50k crowns when originally you wanted to sell it for 1mil but since no one will be able to afford it/25% chance someone will buy that item, you have to do what the people want, need, & can afford. I don't know how I feel about the binding of gear, but it would be better if there were more things I could put up on the AH. I love playing AH, was always into it more than the actual game for previous mmo's i've played.

suggest it
i think there is no reason that costumes couldn't be on the list right above 5 star unbind
costume unbind 4K
5 star unbind 4k
4 star unbind
3 star unbind
2 star unbind
1 star unbind
and while you are at it, make all 0 star unbind fall into the costume category. Seems completely arbitrary that costumes are unbindable. And like mentioned above, if an item is deemed unworthy of a 4k ce unbind price, then just don't unbind it.

There goes the prices of 1st gen regalia that I gassed all my money on in the last couple of weeks.
I'm all for this so bomb heads will be easily achievable but still maintaining their value.
All though the regalias will be getting some money in return, I get the feeling if this thread gets the popularity, it will be put into the game.

Also, most people have their value on costume items that are not bound and are one of tens that are unbound still existing in this game.

Costumes can be expensive as
Costumes can be expensive as hell the way they are now. I don't think we need to chuck another 4k CE on them.
But that's just my opinion.

We should do a petition,
We should do a petition, unbind gear in general!! Why spend a huge chunk of CE to unbind something to sell for 15k/20k etc? There's nothing but lame "PARC" in the AH, i don't know if the player base are just dim-witted or have their brain cells dead. Something @ 1million crowns being set up on the AH, it's complete baby poop @ how you would think that players in this game will buy that. 1 in 25 is the ratio. Unless I'll be saving all the crowns I make, there's no way in hell I'll ever have that much crowns with the "YPPARC" money I make on my runs. The players themselves are busy with other things(works, school, etc) to work this hard for crowns. If prices still stayed the same on the AH, I'd so go for more profitable runs. 5k for any mission run would be great! (tier 2)
So the people who bought them can feel a false sense of entitlement.
