0. Upcoming Upper Deck TCG Mount Changes 07/31/2009 10:00:37 AM PDT

In the upcoming content patch 3.2, Call of the Crusade, we are changing the Upper Deck Trading Card Game mounts to be Bind-on-Use instead of Bind-on-Pickup. This will allow players to sell newly redeemed TCG mounts in-game through the trade window, Auction House or via CoD. The primary goal behind this change is to help reduce the number of players who are getting scammed by trading for an invalid mount code. As part of this update, the NPC vendor functionality currently in place for these mounts will be removed, and instead the mount (both epic and non-epic when applicable), will now be immediately placed in your inventory upon the verified redemption of the code. If you have already redeemed one of these codes and have not purchased both the epic and non-epic versions from the vendor window, it's important that you do so before the patch is released.

This update will affect the Spectral Tiger, Swift Spectral Tiger, X-51 Nether-Rocket, X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME, Big Battle Bear, and Magic Rooster Egg. Items that were obtained before the patch will not be affected by this change and will continue to be soulbound to the character that purchased them.

Like the change with the way TCG mounts are handled, should make some of the scamming problems go away. =)

edit: First?! Yay!!

While I see that the major intent of this change was to eliminate scamming of other players, I don't understand why they weren't just made BoA. Allowing them to be sold seems to go against what was previously stated in that they give a player an unfair (financial) advantage.

I have the Spectral Tiger mount on my shaman. I had to PAY 100g for it from the vendor because getting a "free" mount is an unfair advantage (or was the line of thinking previously). So now you're going to allow people to auction these off? It shouldn't be a "I win the internet" type of reward.

Maybe it's just me... BoA seemed a better way to go.

Soo how about when i was scammed out of a couple thousand gold for a spectral tiger, when the scammer ADMITTED her was purposely trying to get the account banned. After 2 weeks of an "Escalated" ticket, i was told sorry your screwed. i then gave away my remaining 3kg and quit for 9 months. you couldnt restore what was rightfully mine? and you lost what? $135? bah! this change should of happened when they were first released.

EDIT: Fixed spelling and QQ

Also, why not make this apply to all TCG items and UDE items? like tabards and pets?

Except this didn't happen to you. Also, you thought you could get something that goes for hundreds of dollars for 2k gold?

Yeah, pretty much this. Not sure this is really a good idea. People who don't know better will still get scammed.

I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.

Just to clarify, what will happen if we have redeemed the code, but haven't made the purchase yet? Is this a thing that your stating it to be on the safe side and basically say, "We warned you?" as a CYA maneuver because you don't know for sure or is there a known reason that redeemed codes for non-purchased mounts might become invalid? I'm just looking for clarification on this one.

It will also allow people to buy and sell them for real money. Do you feel that it's worth the trade-off?
