Transferring it all around is kinda annoying but it's at least free.
Yeah I went this route for a long time but I've started to hit a wall. The main problem is that I don't want to cube anything and so rely more on buying pre-cubed gear (it's so much cheaper), there just isn't a large supply of pre-cubed trade-able warrior helms for example. Plus paying a bit more for equivalent stats just isn't possible in some places. I've made the tradeable gear my priority when it comes to upgrades so the drop isn't as significant when I move to alt chars but overall it's just easier to stop hopping from char to char as often.
I'm not even really against making it a few items that are untradeable, it's just this trend that it's becoming every higher level piece of gear out there. The entire lvl 130/140 set is this way. Every makered ring out there is this way, almost every pendant, every (?) belt, the entire VL set. Boss helms, boss pendants. The list goes on and on. I see no reason for this other than they have scissors to sell. Prioritizing tradeability in the gear you use if you wanna use it on multiple chars (even on the same account) shouldn't be a necessity.
