Regarding the Cherry Tree, Thank You

[Celef]

Am I the only one thinking RMT with that ?
People are probably gonna buy the tree to re-sell on the marketboard ^^"

They're already doing that. There was someone on party finder earlier today trying sell the trees for 5.5mil each. And considering they're $5 each, that is basically 1.1mil per dollar.

Is it really the Mog Station one, though? Or are they dumping their old stock of trees from the event?

I would have assumed these wouldn't be tradeable, just like they made two different items for some of the dye colors in order to have a tradeable version from ventures and a non-tradeable version from the Mog Station. These are listed as "Authentic Eastern Cherry Tree". The originals were just "Eastern Cherry Tree." I'd assume that difference is to identifiy them as different items, so as to have a different tradeable/untradeable attribute.

Anyway, I'm really glad they're finally making these available again. I somehow missed that event, and I've been wanting those trees ever since.

Much as I hate SE putting new, unique items (or emotes ) onto the Mog Station, past event items that were originally available in-game, or rare items (like dyes that can come from ventures but only if you get lucky) that can be gotten in-game, seem perfectly reasonable to have there.

As for the price, $5 isn't bad if you just want one, or if you're decorating an FC house where several members could each contribute one. But it could add up to a lot if you want to decorate a large estate's grounds with lots of these trees by yourself. Perhaps if they offered a couple packages: one tree for $5, or four trees for $12, or something along those lines, it would help.

For myself, I think I might spring for a couple of them. I only have a small house anyway, and two trees would be enough to look nice there.

I like that, SE do some of that Costco bulk BS where you go in for one item and come out with $200 worth of stuff but you don't hate yourself for doing it lol. I always buy too much because I look at the price per unit and love getting more for less, but I just end up getting mountains of things lol - so I can say when I do shop the multiple / value thing works for me.

Out of curiosity do these trees bind when placed?

In WildStar, I can buy a decor pack containing 10 Aquatic Longleaf, 10 Longleaf Pad (single), 3 flitterfly (a kind of butterfly thing), 10 cattails, a waterfall cascade (twin), a waterfall cascade (single), 5 longleaf pads (cluster), a waterfall cascade (diverted), 5 longleaf pads (flowering), 2 flitterflies (groups of the butterflies), and a waterfall cascade (multiple) for LESS than $5. That's 49 individual decor pieces for less than what SE wants to charge for a single item.

SE's prices are absurd.

You can get gift a friend codes when you purchase them on Mog Station.
In regards to my previous comment it works like this. Player A gives Player B 5.5mil for Player B to purchase Player A a code off the Mog Station. Player B gives Player A the code in exchange for gil. That is how they get past the untradeable barrier.

However if you get caught doing that prepare for the ban hammer. You're not supposed to trade cash shop items for gil. (source: the red part at the bottom)

Untradeable. If they are actually selling, they got it from the event.
