Feature request: Lock an item to prevent accidental discard, sell, convert or trade

Requesting a simple feature: Option to Lock and Unlock items. Items that are locked cannot be discarded, sold, converted to material, traded in for seals, traded to another player, or listed for sale. To lock, right click on an item and select Lock. To unlock, right click on an item, select Unlock, check a box on the confirmation window, and confirm the window.

Reason: Adding a lock feature would make it easier to avoid unintentional item loss, and thus reducing player complaints and GM workload.

For example, selecting the right item to turn in for seals can be tricky. When I was using green dungeon drop gear, I removed items that I intended to turn in for seals from my Armory Chest and filtered the selection window to only show items in Inventory, however I still felt uneasy every time I selected an item that looked similar to an item I wanted to keep.

This is a great idea

I lost a couple items due to a dumb mistake I made while trading for seals. I like the idea.

This would be cool! Also I liked the previous commenter for an awesome name. ;)

Good evening,

This will require other processes aside from selling or dropping the item, such as trading, storing the item, and moving the item from inventory to the armory chest, therefore, this request requires a lot of development cost.

We currently have other tasks with higher priority, so we currently have no plans for this, but we will add this to our idea list for future consideration.

Uh... I just read what I'm about to deliver, its not that hard.

But yeah, a lot of people practically skip every cutscene which involves reading, something SE have worked hard on to deliver this to us....

I'd totally vote this in over more than a few updates or changes. Have something like an overlay come up over the inventory for a visual on/off. Have like a check all or none. Then just click on the item for individual selections.

Please implement this. There's been a few times where I've turned in the gear for another class set and then when I go to use it, yellow triangle telling me that I'm missing gear. At the very minimum "lock this gear set from changes".

can we have an item blacklist? so we can mark those trash items on the list and never receive them again.

what you want already exists. "hide gear sets" and the only thing that will display is stuff not set.

I can't help but feel like the Dev team has made this safe ENOUGH. I don't know what kind of workload the GM's have over restoring items. (I always assumed that thir policy was if you traded/sold/dropped something you shouldn't have, then you are SoL)

They also already implement this automatically, the newest tiers of gears are never tradable, cannot be desynthed, cashed in for GC Seals, etc.

If we're cashing stuff in for GC Seals (Farming for moonstones? cashing in 100 items at a time?) then move items you want to keep into your Armory chest, and filter hide armory chest items, like you already stated you were doing.

In what other circumstance would you be accidentally trading/discarding an item you shouldn't be?

I'm actually more concerned about any additional server resources / memory this might take up. *Points at housing issues* I'd prefer those resources be dedicated to other things, VS making a system so nitty gritty.

Do we really need dev time dedicated to what essentially comes down to stopping people being idiots. if you can't restrain yourself from mindlessly jabbing at the buttons and discarding/handing stuff in, that's on you

I always transfer gears, that i want to convert into seals, first from the armory chest into the inventory. Never convert an item that is still in the armory chest.

I have also the filter on, that only show gear in my inventory in the GC delivery window.

Everyone needs to remember that this mistake is something you do by being impatient and hitting buttons quickly. Slow down. Be deliberate. Then they won't have to waste dev time preventing YOU from screwing up. It's not that hard to pay attention.
