I've seen this posted way earlier, but rather than necro an ancient thread...

When priming aetherial wheels used to create tier III FC buffs, whoever removes the primed wheel from the stand is the ONLY person who can then convert it to a buff. Their only options for storing primed wheels is in their inventory/saddlebag, or on a personal retainer. If that person leaves their FC, all of those juicy tier III buffs leave with them.

I get that SE doesn't want people to sell those wheels, which seems weird, given how many items brought back by subs/airships are sellable - and that ceruleum tanks are sellable, etc. Making primed wheels tradeable would allow them to be stored in the FC chest for people with appropriate privilege to convert into buffs.

Any smart FC limits FC chest access. If SE's only reason for making primed wheels non-tradeable is to babysit FCs... it's just silly, compared to all of the ways they *don't* babysit.

The suggestion was made almost 7 years ago, iirc, that adding storage to the wheel stand itself would fix this issue. The primed wheel could either be removed or stored. Then a new wheel can be put in place. This sounds like a great compromise to me.

How about it, SE?
