[Suggestion] Remove Ability to Link Items from COD Mails

So, here is the scenario that just happened to me tonight. I was receiving offers for a purple recipe of mine & eventually agreed to sell via/COD for 9k gold. I sent the COD mail & after about 15 minutes of not receiving my money, I started to send the guy messages, of which he continued to ignore.
About an hour later, he links the item in a trade guild that I'm a member of, with WTS message & a 15k price. Please understand that my issue is not that he is profiting from the sale, as I couldn't care less about that. My issue is that he hasn't paid for the item & the current system allows him to link it for sale without technically owning it. I'm assuming he'll continue to link it for sale until he's able to make some money, whereas he'll pay for the item & make his profit. Otherwise, he'll just let the 3 days expire.
I would like to see the capability to link items from COD mails removed from the game. Technically, the person doesn't own the item until after they have paid the COD fees. This is a form of griefing, but an easy fix could remove it.

LIQUID741✭✭✭It's shady to say the least...but he is using the mechanics of the game. Hopefully this will be fixed. Along with all the other lingering issues of ESO.Solid-Nightblade of AD0 -

✭He the guy you mailed the item to I s using this tactic to get rid of his competitor that's what I think, it is like under cutting only underhanded instead.

tanthil✭✭✭I would have sent this complaint to a dev, putting things like that on forums just gives people the idea of doing it themselves.
Time limits on cods should be set by the sender e.g 1 hour it gets returned and we should have the ability to revoke cod's at anytime.
Any system that allows for griefing is bad
removing the ability to link the item doesnt solve the problem, they could still do it without linking, or just get a competitors item stuck in cod so they have no sale competition, or just straight up troll someoneEdited by tanthil on 21 May 2014 02:190
