We anticipate that even with this update, third parties will continue

I get that, but people have been saying Mounts are locked because they are big ticket items. If that was the case, anything that sells for $20 or more should be unable to be gifted. That would still let "lesser" mounts be gifted and minions.

My guess is the ones they sectioned off are the ones they're getting the most chargebacks over. I can't really comment on definites as I don't have access to sales over the period of time all of the chargebacks were happening.

Also that would fall in line with what you're saying that other expensive items are left alone. If people aren't buying them in general in mass quantities then there's less risk letting them sit there. People aren't just going to start buying tons of retainer stuff now just because of all of this when they were going to resellers for mounts or minions or emotes.
