Can't launder pickpocketed Guild Citations from Mara boxes

AnthroAdryn · February 12

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.

... same on Playstation EU ...

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?

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.

@ZOS_Kevin
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.

Displaced_Salad · February 19

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.

Two weeks since *this* thread was posted, and *shrugs* In all seriousness, I'm not seeing any evidence of this "improved communication" thing.

Would it be possible to find out something about this? I am speaking on behalf of several people in my guild with this loot sitting in our bags.

Every time we go to do a little pickpocketing, we are running the risk of losing it if caught or killed by a guard. I would like to think that it was not intended for us not be able to launder, but if it was, knowing that would be helpful.

It would, indeed, be nice to know, wouldn't it? And if it's intended behavior, aside from the entire "making it clear how the mechanics work for players" thing, it discourages further engagement in future events that encourage or require pickpocketing. Then again, the entire lack of attention to this matter, among other things, really kind discourage my interaction with much anything in game.
