Hey cinco, after talking with much of the community,

to quote people in-game:
"nobody likes bound vanities"
"Why are vanities still a thing in this game"

I think the point of them being bound is so that people have more reason to grind fast cap, which turns out a higher player rate, can we see them become "un-bound" after the 7-day period? I think that would be reasonable considering almost all of the other cap vanities can be traded
