This cannot be deconstructed

WhiteCoatSyndrome · February 2022

Why do we still have normal jewelry with this? The original purpose was to keep people from hoarding rings and necklaces before Summerset dropped to keep things fair for the non-hoarders, but that was years ago and Jewelry crafting has been out for ages. Surely this is taking up database space better used elsewhere and causing unnecessary cruft by this point? Can’t they be converted over to deconnable versions?

They probably don't have the data associated with it is a possible reason, if they could be deconstructed you get nothing every time. The easier solution was to make them non-deconstructible than applying the data and flags to each one.

I sold some non-deconstructible jewelry recently so the items are still desirable for actual use.

I am still using some "cannot deconstruct" items. Necropotence comes to mind

frankly its another layer of protection for any mass deconstruction glitches

Somehow I don’t think my purple ‘Platinum Ring of Reduce Spell Cost’ would find many buyers.

If players are still holding on to old jewelry in the hopes that they can decon it one day, isn't that the exact kind of hoarding that this change was supposed to prevent? If they undo that, people will expect future anti-hoarding changes to be temporary, too. You have to crush hope completely and utterly.

I would sell or trash your stuff and free up the inventory space. Or keep it out of spite—that's always a fun little treat.

I've bought plenty of purple rings like this for decon purposes totally by mistake because I wasn't paying attention. I'd love to believe these things were on sale because "other people want to use them" but people taking advantage of others is something some sellers do full time and me not paying attention is a basic tenant of their philosophy.

If they are willing to hold it for 2+ years (since Summerset came out, right?) I say let them have it! How many could they really hold that long and what would the impact be? Inconveniencing everyone else playing the game normally is more of an issue.

I have not seen it lately, but I know it was an annoyance when I was playing on the PS4 (I started just after Summerset came out).

Exactly. They should be adjusted to be "normal" in the game at this point.

But the entire buying/selling system is quite broken as well, as this illustrates.
