A Word on Monthly Birthstones and Shop Exploits

[Vizionari]

It DOES suck, but it would be a lot of work for them to go through the list and refund all those bells. If you think about it, they were like 260 each so that's like a thousand TBT. If they bought 5^^

299 to be exact.

And yeah, I do feel Skyfall should be refunded his/her bells since she wasn't going to sell or do anything with them anyway, but the admins have their reasons, too.

Sigh... this exactly. I wish Skyfall and Sholee ( and others) could be refunded their birthstone TBT. That's a whole lot of TBT.

I do as well. However I believe that if they make exceptions now people will be looking for those later on. They have to keep their foot down so to speak against abuse of the TBT market.

Before anyone says anything. I do know that they were not going to sell for profit and such. They like the aesthetics of having more than one and being able to do patterns of collectibles under their name.

I don't understand how people thought they could have more than one. Even I know you can't have more than one. I've known that from the start, that you could only have one and that they were giftable once. I was shocked to see people with 5 of them the last restock and really was confused. I'm glad this was explained. Sorry to those who lost bells.

 

[Zanessa]

Well I never even saw the option to buy another birthstone after already having that month's birthstone.. so that's weird.

 

[Speedydash]

Awww

Does that mean you can only own 1 birthstone? The OP mentioned you can only purchase one and not buy another if you already have it in your inventory, but is it allowed to have more than one? Like, say, you ask someone else to buy the birthstones and gift it to you, that means you can't gift/sell the birthstone, right? Would this be allowed?

I'm planning on asking people to help me get 5 birthstones of March and June each, so I wondering if that's okay. I never intend on reselling it anyway

You can only have 1 of each month in your inventory. I'm sorry but your plan won't work.

Aw that's too bad. Thank you for answering!

That is allowed actually. For the reason you stated yourself, you wouldn't be able to gift them later.

Really? My bad... Players have tried to gift me birthstones ( they bought from the shop) that I already had and they couldn't... Did it change at some point?

It can only be gifted once. They had been gifted that birthstone previously.

I'm sorry. I think I am not being clear... This is the scenario... I have a March birthstone. A friend buys a March birthstone from the shop and then attempts to gift it to me ( I had mine hidden) .. The gifting won't go through because I already had one in my inventory. This actually happened more than once. . Do I have bad ju ju or is the multiple gifting a more recent development?

Oh I understand now. To be quite honest, I always just assumed it would allow you to anyway. Guess not.

lol. I feel better now...

Could the mods make it that way? I would really like that since I want 5 amethysts so bad...

 

[Skyfall]

Me too please! If i cant buy 5 from the shop, i would like to buy 4 from the marketplace in addition to my 1 from shop. .

My experience has been same as prayingmantis, i could not gather more when i already had 1 in inventory.
