    Once sold, these items are useless. Deliberately and knowingly producing such items to sell them is dishonest and should be avoided.

    On a different note, please keep in mind that you should follow moderators instructions, we are closely cooperating and we make sure to be on the same page.

    Hate to contradict you Endesmor but trading for a wedding cake does not render it useless. It will then be in your star and complete the "own" task. It is not useless to other players to trade for it. I do agree some may be trying to prey on others. But a traded cake can be used to complete the task unless you made a change at this mornings maintenance.

    We got called cheaters before, the Quest CLEARLY states "own" not produce. if I can own a certain item and it's not limited, then I can trade it. If you guys plan on nerfing this too, then so be it, but at least be familiar with said item before having mods come into chat accusing us of cheating, as stated before, we were called this by a CL before.

    But Ive traded with guildies and they completed there quests just fine. Ive used ones I got from a guildy while my provision house was full as well. Simply sent him the mats. this was 2 days ago. Did this change durring maintenance?

    I do agree some may trick others into thinking this gives them the quest. This was not what i was trying to do but I was providing a service to Friends and selling some to others who did not have level 52 and the sawmill. i think the whole confusion is the different version in live then was on test server. So we never actually tested the version that went live.
    I wont place them on TO today untill I send a cake to a guildy to test out if they can use the one I made.


    Edit : wedding cake works, I sent to a friend it completed. Will have someone make me a cage and test it as soon as I get the item again

    buying the cake/cage from trade will complete both requirements
    i would buy one myself in case my prov houses were busy for many days and i didnt feel like changing the order of the items or cancelling them, so i dont see a problem in trading this stuff, its not my fault if players buy my overpriced cake, trades like that are up everyday in different resources and are not an exploit

    also, if you dont want it tradeable, dont make it tradeable! already 2 maintenances done since the xxl update, so there was time to fix that

    It looks like perhaps some programer saw the problem and fixed it before it hit live , But the message did not get to everyone. I think the way it is now works better. perhaps leave it as it

    I think that the majority of the players here are honest and just trying to have fun here. We get that there are rules, and most follow them.

    Back to the topic - If a item can be sold in TO, then there should be no problem with it. Nobody is gaining anything. It is not like purchasing the cake (or cage) will create the Quest; that still needs to be earned in an adventure. The resources required for the production of each item is required. Where is the exploit? So, some people would rather save time in their PH/RPH and pay another player for the convenience. We do that every day - some of us like producing weapons, others bread/farms... and we trade each other for what we need.

    Please let us just play the game. Happy players play longer, invite other players and on occasion even spend money. Suppressed players will frequently move on.

    PS - I guess if I'm tasked to bake a cake for my friend, I have to make it myself and am not supposed to purchase it from the German Bakery down the street?

    Wow. All of this and nothing...

    Not much to say that has not already been said here. Let the designers design and the players play.
