Thread: LS tools no longer tradeable once they're used

my guild shares out ls craftiing equipment and +25 suit and we have crafted since pub 24 so its still good.
Wow - this is completely different than what I've heard so far. Do you know when the tool was made (post-24, pre-24, pre-CU, or pre-9) And you can use it indefinitely by many people? Can you trade it back and forth, or only drop it in a PA hall? Can you drop it in a house? Put it on a vendor?
I'm fine if they want to prevent an exploit here, but it sounds like maybe they haven't really prevented it yet. And I'd really like for them to prevent the exploit without hurting my business of course...
A guildie of mine put in a ticket and miracously got a response within 2 hours. PrestonB (2nd hand-info) stated this change was designed.... and well intended. Such game breaking feature this was that they actually spent time on changing it..../boggle. Sounds like someone down thier needs to get a new list of priorities rather than personal griefs with thier job.

Is this old news? I didn't see it in the front page of the jedi forum (which probably represents the last 5 minutes of discussion)
As a merchant (who doesn't even play my jedi), this sucks. As a jedi, it must suck more...
Yeah if you have a pre-pub 24 any one can use it once, after it is used it becomes the property of that person. Post-24 what you craft is yours period. LS crafting tools are no longer tradable.
Also just made another Light Saber and destroyed the old one getting back my ADK kit which is also no longer tradable.
So ADK’s and LS crafting tools no longer tradable. What else? That’s the only two I know since pub-24 was released. Not sure if this was intended or if it was done by accident. Maybe our correspondent could ask.

ADK's are no longer tradeable either (once they're used probably)?

This just isn't true.
For the second time today since this thread started, I crafted tools to test this.
You can drop them in any structure you have admin rights to, whether you own it or not. Other players who have admin rights can pick them up.
You can offer them to vendors. You can sell them on vendors.Other players can buy them from vendors.
They do not become No Trade until you select a schematic to begin the crafting process. Once they are no trade you cannot drop them in a house or structure that you do not own, regardless of whether or not you have admin rights. You can only drop them in a structure you own, declared residence or otherwise.
Other players who have admin rights to your structure cannot pick these items up. They cannot be offered to vendors.

can anyone tell me why soe would think this is game breaking in anyway? and take the time to even code it in?
It seems to have been done to combat the Saber Crafting exploit, wherein you could have someone else (i.e., with higher LS Crafting ability) craft your saber for you.
how can it be an exploit, they are openly sold on the bazaars....so that means now, we have low quality pearls and crystals plus gimped our saber crafters...lol, and the titanic slips a bit more into the icy waters....but the jedi played on....glub, glub, glub....
now for the effects that soe never thinks about,,,ls crating tools just hit the million credit mark....thanks soe, you really think things through dont u.

I'll update the original post and title. Still some questions about ADK's though. And if anyone would like to prove Garanor wrong, I'd be interested to hear it. Otherwise, it sounds like pretty complete testing...

Yes they are still tradeable if not used yet and pre-24. Thinking it a wise investment for myself and my guild i bought all the 15.00 on the market and they aree still good.
They don't have to be pre-pub 24. Make one and see for yourself.
