I thought, "On the one hand that's an interesting idea, but on the other it'd have to hugely impressive for me to even consider replacing good ol' Lara-in-action".
Is she intentionally kneeing Firefox while ejecting a clip of City of Heroes?

Exactly, and "soulbound" items would have no market resale value after they were slotted making it pointless to use a respec to pull them off of a build.

Star Trek Online is currently doing this. Common/generic drops can be used or traded between players without limit but uncommon, rare, drops/craftable items can only be traded if they have never been used. Once slotted they can only be sold to an NPC store.

Unless, you know, you decided to reuse them in a different power or stick them in another build.

Honestly, I'm not worried about the dawn of an era of "soulbound" items because these bonus enhancements have a legitimate reason to be untradeable: you get them when creating a new character.'

If they were tradeable, one could (for whatever reason) make a bunch of alts to generate a lot of them. (To be fair, even if you COULD do this, it's hardly a big deal given the general worthlessness of these special enhancements past level 20)

We have people that are still paying millions of inf on base salvage, so of course there would be plenty of people willing to spend stupid amounts of inf on those enhancements if they could be traded.
