Housing Lottery Apology Posters

[SnowVix]

I will ask you this. Are the posters resellable?

All housing items are, even if marked otherwise. Untradable items can be placed in FC housing storage, and anyone can remove them from that, not just the person who placed them there.

They're marked as untradeable / market prohibited, but you can still transfer them using a tenant/FC housing permissions. Doesn't look like they can be added to the FC chest, although I tested this after I had already placed it in my house.

Untradable/unsellable/market prohibited. Would require the swap through tenancy.

On the other hand, anyone can buy from the vendor if they want the poster. Nothing seems to indicate that the vendor will only be available temporarily.

Please make said posters available for 50m gil each even to players that weren't blessed with good fortune.

Or maybe more than 50m, maybe 100m. Maybe call it something different like "Authentic" to show it's not the "legit" one.

Exclusive items annoy me, especially since they're exclusive for no reason. Did they play at a specific time? Did they accomplish anything? No, just total random luck, and now there's an item that I'll never have because I didn't get lucky.

If I didn't already have a house I'd be even more annoyed. They already win the lottery to get a house, and then they won the lottery to get a free house, and now they win the lottery a 3rd time to get what will be the rarest item in the entire game.

Anyone can buy them even if they weren't part of the lottery error. If folks want to buy extras as a flex, they're easily able to.

If people want to complain about exclusivity etc, I'd like to counter that with everyone else in the game's history getting their house immediately upon purchase. How unfair was it that I had to wait to get my plot because of some screw-up on SE's part? I shouldn't have to pay for the plot and they never should have added the NPC to give me the chance to *VOLUNTARILY* pay the Gil. I actually had to be patient and empathetic, throughout the whole month-long process; how dare they? /s

How trite can we get? That's a rhetorical question, I know the answer.

For the people who went through the bug with me, this is a nice gesture of apology. For the people with more Gil than they know what to do with, they're bragging rights.

I disagree, they need to be priced as they are to accurately reflect the cost of the plot people bought. I don't want to have to pay ten times the amount my plot was selling for for no good reason other than salt on the forums.

No no I asked it due to how many people speculated on the forum of how ridiculously expensive those would be on second market thus rewarding 0 bug victims doubly. But not only everyone can get them (kinda obvious considering they had to resort to voluntarily returns) but you can't make gil out of them.

The speculation was there (I know I was one of those people), but that was only if they didn't make them available to everyone to purchase. So yeah, had they been tied only to those affected by the bug, the prices definitely would have skyrocketed as they can still be sold regardless of them being market prohibited. Thankfully that's not the case. \o/

This image immediately came to my mind after reading this thread, lol.

It didn't turn out as bad as it looked like it was going to. Those posters are pricey though. Ouch. But we need more gil sinks, so I guess that works.

[Aoi_Futaba]

Why on earth would I spend millions on an ugly poster with no relevance as anyone can buy them? What they should have done is used the data they had for the winners of the 0 debacle and just had a plain poster with 'WANTED' at the top and a picture of a 0

I find these to be cuter than the 50M gold mounts that came out, but yeah, I don't see most people buying them. :P
