    Much better! They are most likely alerted and are now probably looking into the situation since we got an official response. However, shutting down the whole thing could lead to a potential.. Rollback. I know everyone would rather not have that, so, take this as a grain of salt. I've experienced a lot of MMOs that take their time to resolve issues like this and usually have a solution up once they are ready. MMOs that react quickly though, usually end up with rollbacks to the servers and this throws people for a loop. So I say, "take your time SE."

What kind of development process are you guys using over there where not ONE person says "Hey, the way we're implementing this could create some serious issues." Perhaps someone did, and was ignored for whatever ridiculous reason. You cannot seriously believe that asking players politely not to do something will have the desired effect.
    It's more or less probably caused by the way the Mog Station may have been coded. They probably couldn't see how to allow two people to receive the bands unless they both bought it. So, they went ahead and decided to allow your partner to gift you the item by making it tradeable if you could not afford it. Again, most likely because of the way the Mog Station handles individual accounts. If otherwise, they could have delayed the Eternal Bond system so they could figure out a better solution.

    As long as they disable the ability to purchase the gold and platinum during this time, I'm all for them taking their time.

    Nah, they just take have to down the items for purchase from the Cash Shop while they figure out how they want to change things.

    They can't do anything about what's already been sold (doesn't violent ToS), a rollback won't happen.

    Ahahaha. The official dev response is "We won't punish you, but please don't so we don't have to write more code to prevent this?"

    This really highlights the naivety of the design team.

    They are probably writing a fix as I type. This stuff takes time and has to be fully tested before it can be implemented.

    The simple fix to this problem is to have 2 different bands available. Single and Double. Single band costs Y and requires the partner to have one as well. These are unsellable and untradable. The Double band costs 2xY and is unsellable and untradable but does not require the partner to have a band of their own, essentially only one person needs the band to perform the ceremony.

    --- More solutions to eternal bond trouble ---

    Just came with this one, as it is right now, it is needed that two persons have the wristlet, but one person can buy two of those so then give one to another person... Why not... Instead.,... Allow the ceremony to be done if one person have the two wristlet and thus giving it later via quest to the other one?. This totally kills 100% the RMT with this and could be more easy to programate perhaps that dealing with the php queries and databases + website.

    Yea, gotta be honest that response is a bit of a troubling way to look at the situation. If they never intended for the bracelets to have the potency of being sold they should of easily seen what people would do for those who have the money to spend and thsoe who don't.

    Quite honestly I'd still say so what if people want to sell it, maybe they have 100 dollars they don't mind buying for those who don't want to pay cash for those perks? Is it really that bad in perspective if people are just offering a service that isn't provided via gil by using their own money to help others who don't' want to spend cash on the perks?

    SE at the end of the day is still making money off the service the only difference is players are acting as a middle man to provide a service for those who may not want to spend real cash on the extra services.

    I'm a bit confused as to the numbers. Why would people pay real money so that they can get in game gil so that they buy something without having to spend real money.
