Can't launder pickpocketed Guild Citations from Mara boxes

Title pretty much says it all. On PC NA.
If you pickpocket a mara box from the event, and it has a citation, you can't launder it. This feels like a bug, as characters with maxed guild lines are essentially punished.

    If I remember correctly, that was a problem awhile back and was never resolved.

    Stuck with a Dark Brotherhood citation from pickpocketing that cannot be sold or laundered at a fence. Therefore it cannot be stored for another character to use, and you can store all citations NOT marked stolen. Which should be classified as a bug as it seems antithetical to extant behavior.

    ETA - time is ticking on the event as well. No resolution or response in sight?

    Maythor: honestly we're getting the supermarket treatment here ... shrinkflation with the addition of simply moving things about so they seem fresher .. all the while being told a corporation is our friend :P

    If it comes with strings, it ain't free. It isn't a gift with purchase; you were overcharged. Companies don't love you; they love money.

    I_CraftwithPntButter: 2023 is the year your supposed to be doing better , remember ? (Still waiting for that in 2025)

    KlauthWarthog: Well, they can definitely measure fun on their spreadsheets, otherwise they would not be able to nerf it so consistently.

    This happened in the past with certain items from stolen event boxes, for instance Imperial City vault keys and Impressario group repair kits that were in coffers from the Zenithar event a few years back.

    Also cannot launder companion gifts, and since got caught by guards and couldn't launder any of these items, lost all of them.
    This feels like an oversight, why wouldn't we be able to launder these companion gifts and citations?
    Seen people mention this has been around since other events for other items, could we get this fixed please?
    Lost maybe a 200k or so due to losing all these citations, that I couldn't even place into the bank since they were marked stolen.

    Yeah same issue. Not much of a point being able to pickpocket these, if you can't launder them.

    Can we get this looked at?

    I put in a ticket about this this morning. The citations and event boxes are now taking up space because I don't need them on that character. And I'm be extra careful so I don't lose them. Should be an interesting thieving tonight during our Guild run.

    Overall, it would be helpful to know whether this is, in fact, a bug so we can make a decision about our inventory.

    Same issue here as well, probably everyone who did alot of stealing during the event are wondering what to do with said items. Would be nice to know sooner than later.

    Several threads that no one has bothered to combine. No response at all and the event is over. I'd say, customer satisfaction and functional game mechanics rank fairly low on this one.

    @ZOS_Kevin Can we get some sort of attention to this situation, when it's convenient? I'm sure there's a lot of players who have un-launderable items from the recent Mara/Heart's Week event, due to boxes stolen from pickpocketing at that time.

    The following CAN NOT be laundered in the normal way:
    Companion Gifts
    Guild Commendations
    The Mara's Parcels (in general)

    The following COULD be laundered:
    Sundry and various furnishing plans, recipes, and crafting components
    Impresario Group Repair Kits

    Making it so that we can launder these eventually, would be appreciated, and perhaps let the community know that it's on yoru radar. Thanks very much.
