The Illamris style pages are tradeable to other players. Its always been ridiculous that the BGs Horned Dragon and Fanged Worm style pages were untradeable, but now there is absolutely no excuse for it as there are other style pages that are.
Please allow the style pages from BGs to be sold and traded between players, as they should be.

✭✭✭✭I agree, it's a small cosmetic thing, seems like it would be a nice thing for those who do BGs to have to sell to those who do not, it's not like it's a skin for completion of some really difficult content.GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC
Epona was a Romano-Celtic goddess dating back to around 1800 to 2000 years before computer games were invented.6 -

✭✭✭✭✭PvP players struggle with gold. This could be a great source of income for them. It makes no sense that they aren't tradable.Edited by MLGProPlayer on July 25, 2018 9:00PM8 -

✭✭✭I was surprised these can't be traded. Now that everyone can do bgs, maybe they want to entice those who never tried to become daily random fodder in exchange for style.Fear is the Mindkiller2 -
chimneyswift_ESO✭✭✭✭I kinda like that they're untradeable and are only acquired through BGs. It gives *some* people a reason to do BGs that might not otherwise do them. And for those of us who do, it gives us a nice (and unique) reward. Not everything in this game needs to be sold or have some sort of profit opportunity attached to it.Ebonheart Pact

Then the rng needs to be rationalized. 5 toon-years of grind will not attract players that would not otherwise do BGs.1 -

Yeah but once you’ve ground out the ones you want (helms and weapons mostly), there’s no incentive to subject yourself to the proc-land that is no CP BGs. PVP is in a truly miserable state and everyone knows it.0 -

It makes perfect sense. ZoS wants more people playing PvP, and this is another incentive to do so.MLGProPlayer wrote: »It makes no sense that they aren't tradable.
ZoS pays for the server use regardless if players are using it or not, and with low numbers in PvP, it's just another punishment to playing the game.

✭I did my first ever BG last night and was awarded with a style page for ugly bracers that make my tattoos disappear. These pages would not be an incentive past the first one obtained.
I did enjoy the TDM even though I was not set up for killing (my main is usually a tankplar). I also enjoy PVP in Cyrodiil, but I don't think people who don't enjoy PVP in this game are going to enjoy BGs just for some outfit styles.2 -

Untradeable gives a reason to play until you get them all and then the reason is gone. Tradeable gives people a reason to farm indefinitely so they can sell them. Personally, I would be more motivated by being able to sell them.
I personally agree with bound items for a sense of accomplishment. Learning motifs no longer motivates me since I would rather sell all motifs now and wait for the next Jubilee to learn sets since they end up filling my inventory and sell for much less during the anniversary event. And it isn't like I ever use the many motifs I have learned. I'm not sure why I haven't sold off all the motif mats in my crafting bag (though the outfit system may have made them less relevant).2
