If someone sold you a laptop that you can take anywhere, and is yours to keep forever, or wanted to sell you a laptop for 90 days, but are only allowed to take it a few places, which would you rather buy? If you had some security and flexibility in what you can do with the product, the customer is always willing to buy it.
When I bought MSDS for JMS, I got a free permanent Beret (The one with the fancy blue petal on the top, you can see it in most of my videos). I've worn that on every single character I've played since. The only exception is when the character's hairstyle makes it look awful, which does happen, because some of the defaults for newer classes don't really agree with it. I've never purchased an NX hat since, nor do I ever intend to.
Now granted it's not an entire set, no, but if I found some outfit that I really liked and really fits a character, I wouldn't change it, just like I don't change the hat. Honestly though some armor looks better than CS sets, which has led me to not buy CS outfits, but that's really not part of the discussion because account tradeable or not, I wouldn't be buying it.
