Items labeled untradeable

Ok, I understand the reason behind having some items deemed untradeable (i.e. darklight gear, level 90 job gear, high level main arm gear, etc.). What I do not understand is why some stackable items have been labeled untradeable; for example: the 2.2 patch quest item for the fish quest "beast of brewer's beacon". I would like to organize some people together and request that Square Enix apply a patch that allows all stackable items (items that can be crafted, gathered and/or obtained on a regular basis) to be traded. I feel this will allow the game economy to keep flowing smoothly and give everyone who plays a chance to get the items they need, whether from doing the work themselves or from people who need the currency. Please get behind me on this if you agree. I believe this is a minor request to ask and that this should be given some serious consideration.

Thank you for your time,

I am sorry if the post is vague, but I was limited in the number of characters I could type. I can go into more detail if needed/wanted.

Well...

Some items like Umbral Rocks are untradable, meaning you have to gather them yourself with Miner. After you get 60 HQ ones, you trade them with a NPC for the best Miner tool available right now.

For crafted items, such as Darksteel Hook or Silver Brocade same thing applies... Craft and trade 50 HQ ones with the same NPC for the best Blacksmith / Weaver tool.

I like it that the game forces you to gather/craft these items yourself.
Otherwise we would have people (or bots) selling them on the Market board and people who have no idea how to gather / craft rare high level items would have the BiS equips.
Which would be very wrong.

I understand that aspect of the game, all I am suggesting is that some leniency with what can and cannot be traded. I agree that some things should be restricted, but at least allow for some trading with these highly sought after items. Thank you for your input.

How about allowing the trade of these items between friends and FC members ONLY, at least that would keep the bot and market board selling/gathering down while still allowing us to sell these items. I only got onto this subject because it took me so long to get certain items, and now it is taking up space in my inventory but I don't want to sell to an NPC or discard.

You can add more than 1000 characters to a post by editing your post. Just write your big wall of text, cut until it fits, then edit it back in.

Also missing the point of these items. Having the i70 tool/heads do nothing for you if you don't already have the stats necessary to make/farm the item anyways.

The examples provided are untradable to ensure that the player has to put his own work in, rather then just buy his way to a win.

Please provide a few examples of items you want to to be tradable, and are not, but have no gameplay purpose for not being so.

Thnx for the characters tip. I was referring more to the items such as Navigator's brand, and Items that are otherwise untradeable, but that do not greatly affect the normal flow of the game.

Those are untradable so people cannot buy themselves a win.

But other quest wins can be bought. As well as certain tasks, such as provisional requests from Grand Companies, all I am asking for is a better chance to not only help friends out, but also a little help keeping up with the increase of gil accumulation that we all would like to see. I do not think I am asking too much.

But you are.

Gathering and crafting untradables were put in place so you have to earn your way into the big leagues (3 Star), and not just buy your way there/get carried.

While you can buy your way to that point, there has to be a gate at some point where you have to earn it yourself.

Sorry for off topic, would it be considered as an exploit by editiing the post to bypss the 1000char limit? ^^;

Considering practically everyone here does it, I would think not. It's a stupid limitation regardless.

Thanks for your opinion. I asked this because, I have seen some posts keep saying xxx is an exploit yyy is an expliot (for example T2 enraged )
I am very curious, editing the post to bypass 1000char maybe is an reportable exploit base on the same concept? ^^;

Regarding above suggestion. It may result ppl shouting to sell or a PF is up for selling such item.
Also it may cause ppl farming those item for sell. So I think that's the reason that they are not tradable. ^^;

Well...it's sort of silly that you can straight buy levels with crafting + gathering classes (see: provisioning leves and GC supply quests). So I guess they should curb it at SOME point.

Frankly, I'd much rather see that ANY quest / level / GC turn in would be limite to items gathered / crafted by the player turning it in. Those could be stil tradeable for other purpose but simply not use for progrssing throug the game like now.
