Just take too much time to farm these things.
We need to have some kind of heirloom option or be account wide unlock.
 
Why cant I buy with elder gems in main toon and give to an alt?
With glory? Renown?
 
Got more than 2k elder gems that i cant spend. Got all unlocks, bags, mounts. Im not into housing to buy decors.

Im not looking for a way to dump my elder gems, but to save about 30 hours of BG farming prestige to buy these.

I'm iffy on this, I see the point but it really doesn't take THAT much grinding to finish them out for a toon assuming you play it regularly. 
 
Also, if you have plat obviously you can already buy them for alts.

			This has been sped up considerably with the world drops and increased weekly eg cap.  I would say that if you do it for one toon it should be able to get done on alts.  IE once is enough.  this was a lot worse pre-f2p.  the price has also plummeted due to their abundance.  pre f2p ~30p depending on server, now they are 4-6 p depending on the supply.  still can be a pain but much improved.  if it's the first time, i say once is not bad.  if it's an alt, once is enough.  got max amps and ap on two toons pre f2p, and that took a lot longer but I would not wish that on anyone.

			Uh. By now, in the time you have farmed 320 or 400 EG, wouldn't you also have accumulated enough plat to just buy them off the AH? Or did the prices go back up?

There are some BoE i116 gear that i could purchase instead wasting on unlocks.
I got many EG on main, alt just hit the 700 mark and I still dont have enough plat to buy them all.
 
Is about 6-7p each ability and 3p each AMP on Entity.

Amp/Ability points will net a larger DPS increase than buying a BOE 116 weapon.

Also people... make sure you are farming rep as you go. You can knock out some amp/ability points early from maxing rep and buying from the rep vendors (as well as the renown vendor on your plot for the first few). That's one way to encourage people to do the content but people would rather skip to Vet Dungeons and complain they have to spend plat to unlock ability and amp points.
 
If you are speed leveling... you will miss out on the rep, so once you hit 50 you may as well go back and work on the side quests to max rep so you can get your points easier. Or just grind out plat and buy them. (If you are on a PVP server, I'm sorry, this doesn't really apply to you because of the discrepancy in pricing)

			Dailies + the tokens from contracts mean super fast rep gain, too. Except for the Malgrave rep, but f that one.

			Even though it would save time, I'm not in favor of account-wide ability and amp unlocks. I am in favor of account-wide vanity stuff, like mounts, pets and dyes, but when it comes to actual game mechanics, advancing a character, for whatever reason, I'm just not down with it. To me it's like saying 'make level account-wide' or 'make gear level account-wide.' Sure it would make my life easier, but it kinda takes away some of the reason to play.

Are you insane?  350,000 and 450,000 renown?  That's a lot of shiphands.  Unless you mean the cheap AMP unlock for all-gold Shiphands and Ability unlock for all-gold Adventures.  I'll grant you the former, but gold-Malgrave?   I'll pay the 4-6p before trying that again.
 
No pre-50 zone rep gives you tier unlocks.  Blighthaven and Defile are level 50 zones.  R-12 has its own reputation separate from Malgrave.
 
Drop 6 accelerated many things tied to Tier Unlocks.  It's still a huge grind and PvP is still more efficient.  Something needs to change: Account-wide rep, drop the renown cost by 10-100x, make the EG ones BoE, offer a Glory version, etc.  Spray water at your designers until they get the clue that people. hate. grinds.  Particularly those that they've suffered through before.
