Cosmetics locked to one character

Hi,

I'm a long date fan of the franchise and have invested a decent amount of money in MTX already. Cosmetics in POE2 are quite expensive IMHO but, anyway, assuming I agree to pay that price for an armor skin, I think that the bare minimum would be to allow me to equip that skin to every character I have if I want to...

Thanks

You can, just not all at the same time. But anytime you play a character, you can put on an armor cosmetic in a few clicks.
SSF Rise of the Abyssal Ice Strike Invoker, high survivability and fast clear speed. Deprioritize armor and resistances; prioritize crafting a weapon and faster start of ES recharge. Build is shown at level 47, end of Act 3. It tore through Act 3 like butter.

Sure, but to OP's point, why is doing that necessary? If you can hot-swap cosmetics between characters in a couple clicks, and you're just going to do it anyway, then at that point it's busywork. Just let players have the cosmetics they want across all characters, without forcing the one-of system.

He's right, you know.
I find it quite negligent that it is not possible to equip the same cosmetic item on multiple characters simultaneously.

I could understand if this restriction applied between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2, but even within the same game, it is still not possible to equip the same cosmetic item on two characters at the same time.

Last Epoch, for instance, is a prime example of how cosmetics should work in an ARPG, Diablo 4 as well!
This limitation in Path of Exile makes absolutely no sense—none at all!

And for those who defend this practice by saying, "Just log into the other character and equip it," clearly do not value the money they have—or spend.
