Mara's Delectable Parcel - Can't launder if pickpocketed

One of the methods for acquiring Mara' Delectable Parcels is through pickpocketing. Unfortunately, you can't launder the parcel itself like you can other containers like Azandar's Research Folios. Resulting in the character having to launder the items individually after opening the parcel. And this presents a problem, becaue the contents of the stolen parcel can obliterate the character's Daily Laundering Allotment.

Take the screenshot below as an example.. The contents of this one parcel alone will eat 27 of the player's daily laundering allotments (I did not include the two items that are consumable and don't need to be laundered). With a maximum allotment of 140, the character will have hit their daily limit after only 6 parcels. And that's before even taking into consideration the normal stolen items picked up along the way to get said parcels.

@ZOS_Kevin any chance at this being taken to the developers' attention? This isn't the first event to have this happen. I really wish it would be addressed.

    Additionally, just discovered that Companion Gifts and Citations cannot be laundered either. So if you can't use them on that character (ie.. my thief already maxed Undaunted so can't use the Undaunted citation), there's no way to bank them to transfer them to another character that can use them. I have one undaunted citation I can't use, and a companion gift for Bastian on a character with maximum undaunted and doesn't have Bastian as a companion. I recognize that eventually I can get Bastian as a companion on that character but since my account already has the trinket I'd rather be able to trade/sell it, and I can't undo my Undaunted progress.

    I have a dark brotherhood citation that I can't launder. I also can't use it because my toon is max level in db/thieves lines, as any self respecting thief SHOULD be.

    So I'm kind of stuck since I can't launder it to sell on trader, or store for another toon. Feels bad.

    Yep same issue here. Can't launder "An Illustrated Guide to Flowers and Their Meanings". Reported ingame under 260215-001000

    Is there any reason why regular pick pocketing won't drop a parcel?

    The article for the event doesn't say "a chance for a parcel" when pick pocketing, just pick pocketing, yet I have yet to collect a parcel.

    I'm probably missing something obvious, but it eludes me.

    You are in group with a player near you or have a companion out?

    Ok. If you weren’t on cooldown, then I’d probably suggest trying different areas. If you have Cutpurse’s Art on, might try without that as well. Curious to know what’s going on. Some of the bugs in this game are fascinating.

    I don't have that active.
