Good job VMK! Now people can't over price it, and for the people who don't have it (like me) don't fell bad now about completing the quest. :)

Of course. Now VMK just wants to make the items 'impossible' to get. Thanks so much VMK!

Once they log back on, it will become untradeable. If they try to trade it now, they won't be able to.

I just put it to my other title, and can't trade it back now. Here's the pix:

Have mintypal open a trade window to a friend and try to put it in the trade window.

It won't go and the picture will change to say it's not tradeable. That's what happened to me.

Nope, I traded it while it was charging before. It's completely not tradeable anymore.

It is nontradeable regardless of whether it needs to cahrge or not. I just logged in as my hour is now up. I believe this was probably done to prevent "sharing" of the magic. ;)

PrincessTiffani
04-02-2008, 10:39 PM
Aww... I just told a boy at my school that the only way to get it now is to trade for it!! Now i have to waste my breath telling me its not tradable ( i talk once, and then he keeps the conversation ALL recess)

Satarma
04-02-2008, 10:40 PM
Yes, but the problem is, most of the "sharing" is because VMK didn't let people finish the quest. By closing early, those of us who got the magic, have been letting good friends (that we know won't run off with our magic) who were unable to complete the quest because of that pesky thing known as a life (be it school or work) and the closing of the quest extremely early, use the TD pin.

Granted, there are people who are sharing it with mules. I will admit, I just did it. Wasn't planning on it, but I was getting a little frustrated by the fact that I've used it on Satarma each time it refreshes and have gotten nothing all day. So I decided to see if I'd have better luck on another character and wham! Non-tradeable! can't get it back on my main character!

Some warning would have been nice, like a notice that at VMK close today, it was going non-tradeable. But then again, VMK doesn't seem to like to announce important things like that!

This is my honest thoughts about it. TDM is going to be sold in the magic shop. Maybe not for a month or two, but I am pretty durn sure it will be. VMK knows there will be some very angry people who have traded away HUGE amounts of their stuff for something that becomes buyable so they decided to stop it. Not that they've cared much about that sort of thing in the past, but maybe they've learned a little from irate players.

I think it will be sold, maybe not next week, but I'll bet by the end of the summer.

If that happened, It would be REALLY unfair to the people who spent hours working on the quest trying to earn that magic.

Thanks to the "Cheaters" Yavn talked about. Unfair for those that actually worked for it, but fair for those who helped others and didn't finish or were in the middle of it.

My thought is sell all the things... Make the value even so the Cheaters don't have the upper hand. Those that worked for it legitimatley, think of it as expensive stuff you don't necessarily have to buy, but could if you wanted to.

Jenngoofys
04-02-2008, 11:18 PM
The " Sharing " with mules or friends made it usable without an hour charge, incase anyone didnt know that and most likely the reason they made it nontradeable. Greed Of VMK strikes again. Woo hoo.

Argoace
04-02-2008, 11:20 PM
Wow, did not know that Jenngoofys, yup totally see why they would make it non tradeable. Bummer though....

I think they would just say, "Well you got to have the magic before everyone else, PLUS 75,000 credits, silver ears..." I still think they'll release it eventually.

That's a bummer for those who couldn't complete the quest. But based on how much credits/items you can get from the magic you can't really place a price on it...

Yes! The best news of the day! Now at least the people who have a full use can't take advantage of it in trading rooms! Thanks VMK! Now release it so everyone else has a fair chance of getting Dream Ears and not only the richest of the richest! :mickey:

excuse me but i was one of those very lucky few, who was being nice and letting friends use it every once in a while, it just so happens that last night, the moment i traded my friend, it was set as 'nontradeable'

So if you even have your magic, be happy, as least you can get something.
I don't believe vmk should release it.

The magic is like a prize for winning, by releasing it, vmk just wasted my time and the time of others. It wouldn't be fair at all. It is the same as the red space suit [won by the space race] and the pink/red everest suits [not really sure what they are called/ won by Gingerbread]

I don't see how these prizes are any different then those, other then you didn't have to be judged, you just had to finish the quest.

PS: i think i went a little off-topic, my be <3

I can only hope they made it not tradeable as a result of people who were greedy and worked to obtain many treasures instead of helping other people pass the quest.

If you were sharing your magic with someone, have them write to vmk and you write to vmk to explain and request them to put it back to original owner. I know wishful thinking, but worth a try. I remember this happened with the Sparrow Suit when VMK made that not tradeable, alot of people shared parts too.

Well, I sent the following to VMK. I'll post what their response is when I get it.

I loaned my full time use Treasure Detector magic to my mother (AwesomePeterPanFan) and it went non-tradeable right after that.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have it put back in my inventory?

Thank you!

I think that if your mom's player were to send it in, you might have a better chance of getting it back. VMK has no way of know if you made a fair trade or not, if you were the trader.( because people do trade involving codes and credits through kiosk)

I think the person that HAS the pin needs to send in the request.

I mean, anyone could say they loaned thier pin, and they want it back.

Ok I also understand why it has become non-tradeable.What I don't understand is why we were not given any advance warning of this.I personally never did the quest,but have traded for 2 of the TD magic,which is pretty much usless for me to have 2.I remember when Red Space magic become non-tradeable they Posted it on VMK home page and gave us few days warning.But then I guess we are asking to much from VMK to do this huh?

I think this was smart, plus this magic is way too over-rated as you can only use it once an hour and you might not even get a prize some of the times you try. It isn't as great as people think and everyone was pricing it at a stitch hat, no...

Smart move VMK
