Better hurry up and sell it, it's getting patched in 2 hours.

That'll be funny (and sad) if this is true.

Rejoice OF, despite what they told you when you were 3, whining DOES work!

...and this is why we can't have nice things.

I don't think they will patch it, its a source of good money for them lol.

I'm betting it's fixing some of the known issues listed on the patch notes in time for actual ceremonies to start. Let me see my ring properly, SE.

We need more than patching the bracelets to be untradeable.

We need a rollback for any transactions made.

I don't think they are patching the bracelet to untradeable they are fixing the way the reservation system works because people can't register till friday. SE isn't going to patch something in the game to make them less money.

Thank you, this is making them a lot of money. If they actually patch this, I will lmao because they just cut themselves off.

1.0 Garuda Exploit Statement all over again. They are still going to sell them.

As soon as I read Bayohne's post it took less then .5 of a second with lag to recall this same logic was in place for Garuda 1.0 then scrolled down and saw your comment and "liked" it but felt this statement really needed to be posted again. Now if only the other Excalibur member that has the picture of the blm's lolololol'n their way to Garuda would post that picture.

I honestly don't see a problem with people selling the wristlets for gil. If they want to spend $10, $20, or $30 dollars to offer the opportunity to get married in game to someone who would rather spend gil than real money, let them. This merely opens the opportunity for people who may not be able to afford more than the monthly subscription to still enjoy all the perks of a "real" wedding in FFXIV. Quite honestly, they should have never forced people to spend real money for something that was hyped and over exaggerated as this, and if we're going to be pointing fingers and being angry at anyone it should be SE, not the people merely taking advantage of a bad decision.

This isn't an exploit because they aren't breaking any rules, cheating, or manipulating the game in any way that was unintended in order to do it. Honestly, selling metallic dyes is probably more of an exploit than this. Was selling the wristlets the intended reason for making them tradeable? Clearly not, but there is no way that SE did -not- see this coming. The cash shop is a terrible idea, and I hope this whole ordeal is an eye opener for SE that people are growing increasingly unhappy with its existence.

Now then, with all that being said. Who wants to start taking bets on how long it will be before we start seeing people selling guest spots to their wedding in PF for the minion?

[Atreides]

In that case they should just add an option to buy the wedding for Gil ingame from an NPC, that way we have another money sink and the option to buy it ingame.
Because being Wealthy IRL doesn't necessarily mean you have to be IG too.

To be honest at this point, fine, I concede. It's all right to have the Gold and Platinum plans in the Cash Shop.

But the tradeable bracelets and dyed items really need to go.
