Please remove "MTX used on different character" limitation

Hi,

one thing that bothers me about MTX in Path of Exile, is that they can only be equipped by one character at the time. And this limitation applies to all characters across POE1 and POE2.

As someone who likes to switch characters (like playing alone and playing with friends) and between POE1 and POE2, this MTX switching becomes quite annoying. Especially since POE2 cannot tell me what character an MTX is used on in POE1, so I don't know if that's an old character, or one that I'm actively using.

Since I can realistically only play one character and one game at a time, this limitation doesn't make much sense.

In many cases, buying another copy of the MTX is not an option either. At least not when they come from past supporter packs that are not available anymore.

I (and probably many other players) would appreciate if we can use our MTX more freely.

Thanks, DeadFixel

I'm in full agreement, that the whole "equipped" mtx thing is kind of nonsense.

When you can only play one character at a time, why are we forced to unequip, and then re-equip mtx? What does it matter if a character I'm NOT playing has mtx on it that I currently want to use?

Like you said, its often impossible to get multiple copies of a desired mtx AND they generally cost an absurd amount of money in the first place for what you get. Just let each character have their own independent loadout of whatever mtx you have bought.

What's really mind-boggling is that this particular design doesn't even incentivize or encourage additional purchases of mtx lol. Rather, it tends to make players avoid purchasing altogether because of the hassle of micro-management. There isn't a single player (I'd put money on that) buying multiple copies of "blue cyclone" just so they can use it on multiple cyclone characters. They are more likely just not going to use it (or forget). So why the extra step in mtx management?
