KonichiwaWitch Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hello, Hello, I have been subbed to SWTOR for many years, and have played off an on since launch. I wanted to purchase the HK-55 Chapter: Shroud of Memory quest for a friend. However, when purchasing the item, to my dismay I see that not only is it bound, I received no warning that it was bound and also that I already have this content due to my subscriber status. It would not be such a big deal, but it is very expensive content. Please make this tradable after a cooldown period, or provide additional warnings when purchasing, thank you.

DarkTergon Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Because it was originally a sub item, i doubt they'll make it tradeable. It does have warnings on it, was going to purchase it myself for someone but I saw the warnings and stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessara Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) This is disappointing as I was going to buy it for a friend. If they don't want to make it tradeable maybe they could implement a gifting system through the CM? Edit: Although I don't know why originally being a sub reward would make a difference. They've put it out there on the CM for anyone to buy, why would they care if it was tradeable? You don't even have to be a sub to buy it.

You don't even have to be a sub to buy it. Do you have to be a sub to play the chapter though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem really odd if you could buy the chapter but not play it so I'm assuming you don't need to be a sub to do so. You may have needed to sub at some time in the past to have access to KotFE though as you do need to complete through chapter 9 (and possibly To Find a Findsman).

It says on the item, you need to be able to play Kotfe, and you used to have to be a sub to do that , unless it's changed. So chances are only subs can use it. But I'm not wasting CC's on a non sub account to test this...lol Edited October 3, 2020 by DarkTergon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's unlocked, if you drop back to Preferred, it remains playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the case but I didn't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you click on the item in the Market, if you look at the description on the right and scroll down it says: "This unique item is not able to be traded or sold on the GTN." So they already did what you suggested when it was added which is add a warning. You just need to scroll and read the full description to see it.
