Because the Scripts you get from daily activities are bound (with a very small chance of getting an unbound Script), I feel that these should be made tradable with other players to reduce some inventory bloat. This can be beneficial to those that play only on one character and those that don't want to be bothered by the grinding.

Then there's Style Pages from the following sources that could be tradable (that is, if players don't care about those activities, but care about collecting Style Pages):
  • Cyrodiil War Researchers:
    • Cumberland Cavalier
    • Highborn Gallant
    • Thane of Falkreath
  • Imperial City Sewers Tel Var Merchants:
    • Dragonguard Berserker
    • Gravegrasp
    • Red Rook Bandit
  • Battlegrounds end-of-match Styles
    • Battleground Runner
    • Fire Drake
    • Pit Daemon
    • Storm Lord
    • Fanged Worm
    • Horned Dragon
  • Infinite Archive Class Styles:
    • Basalt-Blood Warrior
    • Gardener of Seasons
    • Monolith of Storms
    • Nobility in Decay
    • Reawakened Hierophant
    • Soulcleaver
    • Wrathsun
  • Rare Anniversary Jubilee Styles:
    • Barbas Helmet
    • Staff of Worms
    • Sunna'rah
    • Trueflame
    • Ul'vor Staff

    i would have no issues with any of these being tradeable and it would be very nice especially for how expensive the Cyrodiil and Imperial City styles are.

    scripts should definitely also be tradeable

    I think these are not tradable because developers want players to participate in the activity to get these items. Not spend time in the most profitable activity and trade.

    i thought they wouldn't be as they are bound, are they not?
    [edit: reread the post and they have a very small chance of being unbound, i guess that explains why i can't find them]

    So i checked the traders and they are searchable and i expected at least 1 Elden Root trader to have scripts listed, but they do not (on PS EU).

    Dwemer Automaton does not have any average prices for scripts either.

    TTC has a few listings for millions of gold so the listings that do exist are absurd.
    Have they even sold?

    Yes, they are bought.
    I'm not sure they are that rare. I think most players just don't notice when they get an unbound script because they are used to always getting bound ones and don't know that unbound ones exist. When I got my first unbound script, I also noticed it only a couple of days later, even though I knew from the start that unbound ones exist.

    Too early in the morning and I clicked the wrong thing, I meant some should be tradeable, but only for a set amount of time.

    Makes sense for the PvP and the IA ones, but what of the people who did spend countless hours in the Jubilee activities and received nothing?

    Those items should have been tradeable during at least during the active time period, then bound once the event was over.

    I was fortunate enough to get all of them (and I dont want to see a Vvardenfell WB ever again) but I feel for those who put the effort into those, chasing geysers, etc and didnt receive anything, or what they were looking for.

    I think it would have been helpful to keep these unbound at least until the end of the event.

    The only BoP gear in the game should be the group content, since its survival depends on players wanting to queue in. There's no reason solo content ever needs to be BoP, players shouldn't obligated to sit alone on a social online game. Yeah sorry guys, can't join the group today, gotta sit here by myself replaying trivially easy content I beat a decade ago.

    Except for things that come from Crown Store purchases, everything should be tradable until used or manually bound.

    I don't mind there being some items where you need to actually participate in the activity to get them. "I have gold" shouldn't be a short cut to everything.

    But I feel anything limited time like the anniversary pages should be tradable with no exceptions. Limited time low drop rate grinds are never okay.

    Anything that keeps dropping after you used as many of them as you can, like the scripts, should also definitely be tradable. While I can still currently use almost every script I drop across the characters I'm learning them on, at some point this won't be the case, yet every round of dailies I do will keep generating scripts and they just become inventory clutter at that point, which feels like such a waste.
