I think this was a good move because people were filling orders with broken/near broken items and what was the point of making an order for an item if all you ended up with was 4 broken items at a high percent.
As far as the tt items I wouldn't mind if they made it so that items in the tt terminal could not be auctioned but I think the main reason for not doing this is because newer players can/do sell items that have less than full tt on auction(why people buy them i do not know). It is a way to basically introduce the auction system to them, that would be my only guess, but like I said makes no difference to me--I do HATE seeing tt items listed in the auction for high mark-ups and worse than that I really HATE reading/hearing of someone who bought those items not knowing they were available in the tt terminal--I guess that is a lesson hard learned for not getting a good mentor or learning the way the Universe works BEFORE you go on a shopping spree. If they did make it so tt items were not available in auction then what affect would that have on bp's that are/were purchased at tt and the QR ran up to say 100? Would those not be available too? I think that would be wrong to not allow an exclusion for the bp's but just My 2 pecs--and if you exclude the bp's then you haven't really solved much of the problem cuz from what I see it is the item purchased and resold the most--besides that they will just take it to the streets and since an item IS worth what someone else pays and all trades are final they still would be pulling one over on people and there still is nothing that
MA can do about it.
