All of mine vanished didn’t sell or trash them they are just gone
Yes, this is the case with half of mine and I can't pinpoint why they disappeared, but on characters that still have these they haven't tr'd.
I am not sure why people assume there is bad intent with this. It's been a common practice for years to put unbound items that are important to us on the ASAH for an unreasonable price so that nobody buys it. Then we later reclaim it and put it in our character bank.
My assumption is that this is exactly the reason they are posted on the ASAH and not due to some bad intent. It's a unique cosmetic but I seriously doubt there is this massive market for 1k+ ribbons based on my experience selling things on the ASAH and being connected with enough people on my server to understand what people are looking for. It could be a few sell at those prices as every server has some wealthy people, but I don't think it would ever rise to the level of a problem SSG needs to spend time on.
I don't think the binding should be changed so we can share these with friends that don't have these.
I certainly appreciate SSG providing this cosmetic to remember that tragic day in Boston and stand with the families of victims.
If SSG wants to make these available I would suggest including it as an offering as part of this year's anniversary. I've not heard a single person on my server trying to acquire these and I typically here about unbound items that are in demand from others on the server. It seems unlikely there is just this one item I haven't heard about.
Making more things bound is not the right solution. Don't keep the whole community from sharing items because of a few people are making virtual currency off of a virtual item.
