i personaly think the Cannot be traded to other players, thing for the most part is a stupid thing. i can see why it should be on an item like artifacts and maybe epic's. but on stuf like SI Quest neck (4x10% ressist) i dont get it. the only reason while that item would break is if you acsedently delete or drop it. there is NOWAY to get it back but reroll, and that kind of feels crappy to me.
so should the cannot be traded to other players be removed from some items?

You can get it back.

Regarding lost objects :
- A new system has been set up in order to give you back a certain number of objects you may have lost. If you sell an object you care about, or if you destroy it, or if you drop it by mistake, you will be able to ask for it via the FAQ. Be aware that we won't be able to return more than 5 objects for each account and it is important that you warn us as soon as you lose the object. However, still watch your inventory because we won't be able to return all the objects. For instance, it is impossible to restore crafted items or randomly generated (ROG) items. In the same way, if you take too much time after you lose the object to make your claim, we won't be able to help you. These new possibilities will be available soon in the FAQ section.

Voted yes, its just a pain when your left over with quest items that your not using on your template and cant even put them in a house vault... Scrap the whole concept of 'cant be traded' imo.

Maybe stick up a 2nd confirm box for deletion or selling 'are you really really sure you wish to destroy/sell this quest item', would do it for me just so you cant accidentaly sell your necike of pwnage to a merchent.

after some thought i agree (even though i voted no) for quest rewards and such, but not arti's and whatnot ofc, though it would be nice to duel wield malice (apart from the speeds)

Ask GOA, normally they are kind enough to reset quests, or you could have read the rest of the posts in this thread:

if u could trade padirens necky u could give it to all your bg alts, cuz it still works at 70% dur.

not all the items have level restrictionson them, so the high resist items I guess were not intended for use on lower lvl toons.

But this doesn't actually address his question now does it? I wish before people just gave flippant "read the posts moron" replies they actually gave it some thought.

While it's certainly an improvement it doesn't help people that deleted ACN etc accidentally 2 years ago when they didn't know what they were doing. It's also much harder to reroll a 2-year old character than it is a new one, so it's them it's effecting more. I know if it was me, i'd be slightly miffed that I was being essentially disadvantaged from a mistake I made 2 years ago even if it was completely my fault. I don't think allowing people to at least re-do the quests to get the items back would be game-breaking. It would be easy to stop abuse by just checking if they already have the item before re-awarding it, and giving no exp the second time round (easy in principle, maybe not in the code I know). It's a solution that doesn't remove from the PvE/quest elements of the game, and keeps the idiots happy without effecting the rest of us at all.

Totally agree, repped.

I am a RvR whore but i agree, things need to be in place to keep numbers up that need items from PvE,

trading artis .. noway
trading paidreans .. no again
trading epics .. no

the reason .. like what is said above, u gotta still have a small bit of roleplay left in the game.
and trading artis is by far a bad idea imo .. imagine a 2h SB in rvr these days with Battler mh, battler of, and 2h battler .. can use the charge way to much .. and it goes for more things than that tbh (just an example)
epic and paidreans are supposed to be unique so..just be lucky u can trade ebon hide bracer :D

totally agree that it shouldnt be taken out, imagine all those leet farmers out there farming unique items so their toons can be even more set for thid etc.

Keep it how it is imo

no i dont think it should be removed, i quite think the other way. i love the way WoW handles that thing. the most uber stuff is bind on pickup. but there's still good enough items thats bind on equip that can get sold for a bucketload of cash. so the farmers wont have any reason to cry about it.

I don't mind either way but what I do mind is initially making an item tradeable then 'x' patches later make it untradeable eg the SI necklace.

I gave mine to an alt pre-untrade patch and have been unable to run around with the highest util necklace ever since. This is a long time ago mind.

After patch I RightNowed it and was told they could not give it back to me even though I could prove both accounts were mine and girlfriend's. Fantastic.

Oh, they did reset the SI necky quest back for me ... Great I thought until I completed the first run with no necky drop and .. yep you guessed it could no longer get the quest after that.

My opinion of GoA customer service was somewhat dented after that...

I had a pretty similar experience, only with 2 characters on the same account. GOA also told me they couldn't trade 1 necky back to the original character because it was their policy not to do any such thing.

But due to the changes in their item restore policy, as was quoted in this thread, i thought i'd give it another shot. This was 2 days ago, and i got a RightNow response saying they gave back the necky to the char who was missing it. Hurrah for changes in policy !
