So I just went to Coldharbour and saw a Line of people Buying free Thrones?

How come they are not banned yet for Exploiting the Game?

    1: They can't even be sold back to traders, besides they literally have no base trader value.
    2: There is no confirmation that this is a bug yet, so officially we're not abusing anything.
    3: Everyone has access to the luxury furnisher, so its not like there's anything to gain from taking as much as you want. If anything, with the amount that's flooded the community as of now, they'll be worth at most 1 gold each by Monday. And no one's going to be buying stacks of them to really make anyone any real gold from this.

    I've been handing out stacks to people in my guild who are in PvP and don't want to drop out of their campaign to get back into a 300 player queue.

    That's incredibly generous and kind of you. You deserve an awesome for that. I personally plan on making an entire room of thrones. Just like the person who made a room of sweetrolls. LOL!

    It's Called taking ADVANTAGE of a Game to get Richer. I still see it as a Exploit.

    Who's getting richer from it? They're completely worthless at this point. People have thousands of them, no ones going to pay for that. Its like if ZoS removed any uses for Alkahest, brought down the base value to 0, and then sold them in every single general merchant. No one's gonna buy them, no one's gonna sell them. They're just gonna take up inventory slots until they're destroyed.

    Well, the point many people are making is that it won't actually make them richer, since some people are buying literally hundreds of them to resell ... only the market is already flooded, which makes them worth nothing. So, basically they're TRYING to take advantage of an exploit, but it's not working out for them quite so good. LOL. :D

    And no, I'm not one of those people trying to resell them. I did get a couple for my house, though, and it would really, really stink to get in trouble for that. This was my only weekend to get that particular item, and they won't be sold again after this weekend.

    Is this a bug? It's not like that fancy of a throne tbh, I just thought they were being nice with the event going on (especially with all the crashes). Can't see how you can exploit something that has no value, can't be vendored, doesn't give you any game advantage, etc. If a player is that crazy to store that many of them, let them go for it.

    If anyone does get penalized for this, it should only be the people trying to sell them on the guild traders, because they're obviously trying (pointlessly) to use the exploit to make some gold.
    But really, it's fake money for a digital item that ZOS wouldn't have made any real-life money on anyway, so not sure why anyone should care about it, really. :|
