Rings of Mara SHOULD be Account Bound not character bound.

For the cost of these and the one time use of the pre-ESOTU version the should really be account bound.

    Yeah, its especially annoying since I used my one-of-a-time pledge with a friend who then deleted the character a few days later because he didn't like the name.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they never change it, though; Zeni probably wouldn't want to discourage the crown store sales.

    I still have the ring as well, not really sure what to do with it now (can't go through with deleting it because I can't get another without paying crowns :disappointed:).

    I can't agree there. There shouldn't even exist account bound objects.

    Marriage should not be a convenience but a commitment. Therefore likewise with the rings of Mara. However if you are the kind of person without a selfless streak in you entire body .... I feel for you :)

    I've still got my ring of mara, haven't used it yet because characters get deleted, put on back burners, holiday and so on. Account wide should be better.

    It kind of makes sense for this to be account bound as it *was* a limited item that came with a collector's edition. (and some other editions but I cba to find those all and list them) but char bound is a bit Over the Top.

    What about other people who roleplay their characters, and have their characters marry based on that roleplay? Or who have characters in different Alliances?

    My female character, Arzhela, is married to my real-life boyfriend's DC character. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to be married to his AD character because they've never met. Likewise, it would be weird to have any of my male characters married to his male character, seeing as that character identifies as straight. It would be even weirder if my straight male character ended up married to his straight male character. (I have a bisexual man, a bisexual woman, a gay guy, a straight guy, and two characters who haven't told me what their sexuality is yet.)

    I understand that you want all of your characters to be married to all of your friend or partner's other characters, but that wouldn't suit everyone.

    The ring of Mara is a role-player's object with some functional utility.

    You're complaining that its utility is hampered by its strict role-playing restrictions...

    Umm.. why? They are useless, except for role-play. The 10% increase in XP, is situational enough to be useless to most players. Mine is sitting, unmarked on an alt.. and can be passed to any alt, should I ever want to stop being single and join the masses of LBGT NPCs or other couples in game.

    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    I understand that you want all of your characters to be married to all of your friend or partner's other characters, but that wouldn't suit everyone.

    BUT ALL OUR CHARACTERS HAVE MET and are IN LOVE and married in a POLYAMOUROUS CROSS TAMRIELIC OCTAGONIC RELATIONSHIP!!! Are you putting down our ROLEPLAY!!? *Don't make me get out my fisticuffs*
    In other words, don't crap all over my opinion on what would be better for my gaming experience for your roleplay stuffs. Thanks.

    If it doesn't suit you then you just don't do it. However your version prevents me from doing something to make playing with my real friend for +10% xp more fun and quicker to lvl - whereas my version prevents from nor forces anything upon anyone. It just helps us level that teensy bit faster - but 10% is 10% so.
    Also - I really hope you're not one of the ones crying about vet levels then telling me to go pack sand over a 10% xp increase. If so, I don't have a LOL big enough to fit that in, sorry.

    People who have use the pledge of Mara should be able to trade bound items with one another.. If you are bound to a character like marriage works you should be able to trade.

    Agreed 100%

    My husband and I play as a duo. Not just with one set of characters but with all 8 character slots thank you very much, ZOS. They each have their counter part. Some we have specifically to remake... now we aren't about to buy enough rings for all of that, that would be ludicrous. Account bound. One ring, to rule them all.

    Actually, they would be great when making new characters. Early levels I like to just wear what I pick up. I'm not going after set pieces, so that little bit extra would be a nicety. Sure, many people aren't using them. No, I'm not looking to replace my V16s ring set for a Mara ring. But, it does come in handy in other situations than just RP.

    You can buy more. It's a choice. Obviously they intended to permit us to buy more if we wanted and priced them accordingly.

    I get some people want things for less or even free but it's a business and we choose to support it or not. How about cutting your wages 10%. Don't think you'd like that much.

    If your friend makes a character with the exact same name as the first one...it will work again.

    I was totally going to ask if this would work.... lol. What if someone else makes a character with that name? Hmmmm?
