    Just want to say thank you

    Thank you for making the platinum and gold bracelets tradeable between the players, this was the perfect move imo for the people that want those services but refuse (or can't) spend the extra money on top of their subs. it was a great middle ground. I know people seem angry right now, but that's always going to happen. I look forward to getting my platinum ceremony (going to be an xmas present to me and my partner from a mutual friend of ours), and I'm sure countless others are excited for theirs as well! be it people paying out the 40.00 themselves, splitting the cost with their bonding partner, or buying the items for their ceremony ingame through gil, the entire system looks amazing, and was well worth the wait. Thank you, again Yoshi-P, and the entire team. Hopefully all these hateful threads don't dishearten you too much.

    /make believe that they actually will see this

    The ironic part about this is even by buying the bracelets from someone with gil they still supporting the cash shop.

    This isn't about supporting or not supporting the cash shop, this is offering my positive feelings in the sea of animosity people are feeling.

    SE: "Guys there are people who won't buy cash shop items how can we get money from these people...let's make the items tradeable ?"

    Players: "Thanks SE for indirectly taking my money from my wallet so that I can have awesome cash shop items!"

    I understand where you're coming from OP. I believe that's what SE was thinking when they allowed it to be trad-able. It allows you to give it to someone who can't necessarily pay for it themselves.

    The problem is that people exploit this flexibility and make profit out of it. :/

    The idea of it was so that one person could buy the bracelet for their partner, in the event that both parties were unable to purchase a bracelet, not the money trade which has arisen in its place. However, it was a bold move from SE, and a good one at that. It makes sense to do given that they've added an unfortunate 'downgrade' system as part of Eternal Bond which reduces your celebration and rewards to the lowest paying party (which in some cases means identical to the free one). And sadly, no refunds are offered if this occurs either.
