BOA Gear

Any chance BOA gear really becomes BOA gear?

I mean we should be able to transfer that gear to other toons on other servers and other fractions. After all BOA stands for Bind on Account. Those toons are on my account, so it should follow that I could transfer said equipment to them.

I also think that this might help population issues a little bit. Both server and fraction.

Example:
I am currently alliance and have equipment. Instead of creating another alt on this server and fraction (done the quest lines many times etc, why bother). I would like to experience the it all from the horde side or even just to raid from that side (whichever is your goal).

I should be able to transfer the equipment to a new toon (for instance transfer BOA shoulders, chest, and gun) on a different server and/or fraction.

This would raise the population on this server and the fraction chosen.

Thoughts?

Q u o t e:
Q. Are there any plans to implement cross-faction/cross-realm mail(for BoA gear and such)?
A. We have cross-faction mail for BoA items now; cross-realm is a work in progress, but we hope to have it done “soon."


As your fellow players have noted, you can presently mail Bind on Account items to characters of a different faction (but that on the same realm and account). The mailing process is no different: just type in the name of the intended recipient, attach the item, and click "Send." :)
