Ok what the blue tea heck is VMK thinking.
This is exactly the reason there are scams today and will be tomorrow.
Most everything I would have said has been said(can not restrain myself), to me it does not matter if it was a mistake and they meant to make it no a trade item from the beginning
It is so wrong and a move in the wrong direction!!!
vmk should be making things less valuable not setting things up to become more rare!
They have just made this item out of reach of most all players and players who can not get to the Parks before it is retired.
1. You will either have to be gifted this item by a friend
2. You will have to buy the card/code from a Auction market
3. You will have to be a member of a VMK forum that allows trading and trade for a code (bad bad idea - you give your items only to find out when you enter the code it is already used)
4. You will have to give out personal info in the game to arrange a way to meet a person outside the game to exchange code.
GOOD GOSH VMK again what the heck are you thinking!
I am trying to be supportive of VMK staff and their decisions but things seem to be going from bad to worst.
Bans for minor infractions and others who should be banned permanently or a least given a serious ban(over 2 hours)are still playing the game.
Poor judgment and no forethought given to the release of items and/or the trade ability of items.
Like many have pointed out all this will do is increase the Resell value of this item on the secondary auction market. Increase the value of this via trade in the game and set things up for
MORE trade scams!
