Unbinding Accessories/Costumes?

This feature (or lack of) has bugged me for some time now.
Think of it this way, you're quitting SK. You want to cash out. But wait, you can't. Why? Bacause you bought oh so many costumes.
Or maybe you put an accessory on that you later regret? (Been there, done that.)
What I'm suggesting is something not dissimilar to Name Change Tickets.
Think of it like this, you head over to Bechamel, buy an Accessory Unbind Ticket and pay a measly fee.
Maybe go to Kozma, then buy a new item, Costume Unbind Ticket and pay a larger fee, much like Name Changing.
It could even have a time-release like the name changing, maybe only unbinding one accessory per 30 days?
I know there could be problems, but for this system to be implemented would help a lot of people, inculding me and a few people I know.
Now, costume unbinding may be theoretical, but an accessory unbind ticket isn't impossible.
Maybe, if there's only a few of certain things, it would actually be beneficial to have a way to sell them when you quit. E.G. Hacked/Baleful Aura.

If nothing else, just post your input on making this work.

If your intent is to "cash" back on the items you've bought, implementing an unbind option is not what you want to do: all that will do is allow everyone, not just you, to unbind their cosmetics. There are a lot of cosmetics of any given type in the game, having them unbindable would seriously dropping the price, perhaps even to a point below the unbind price, completely rendering the purpose of this suggestion useless.

Meh.

You clever clogs do realize he's probably trying to unbind stuff that won't saturate the market such as auras, right? The feature wouldn't break anything if it cost the usual 4000 energy to do it.

Girls do their best now and are preparing.

4000 energy = roughly 280,000 crowns
The majority of items at that price or higher are scarce enough that the price drop will chop their worth dramatically, even possibly to a point below the unbind price, making purchasing new cosmetics a cheaper affair than unbinding current ones.

Anyway, the issue here isn't just the worth of the accessories, it would cripple the incentive to purchase promotional boxes. If items could be infinitely circulated, They become much more widespread, resulting in the people who purchase accessories purely for reselling interest to be less inclined to, seriously cutting on Three Ring's sales.
Cosmetics are essentially consumables, and it's probably best that way.

If you bind the wrong accessory to the wrong piece of armor and realise this soon enough (I'm going to give an arbitrary time limit of 24 hours although I do not know the actual threshhold that GMs give) you can send a support request and have it unbound.

Hah.

I just wanted to say "neener neener" in the light of the new removal tickets. That is all.

"I just wanted to say "neener neener" in the light of the new removal tickets. That is all."

I'd just like to point out that this was nowhere close to being the first unbinding thread.

Yes but it does have a lot of jerks in it. Hence the childishness.

You're one of the three people who posted on the thread, who are you calling "lot of jerks?" (doesn't "lot" usually qualitatively mean at least 4?)
