You might be forgiven if you didn't see this. It seems they snuck it in while maintenance is running.

In order to further reduce the impact of fraud and gold-seller behavior on game economies, we are refining detection systems that are currently in place in both Neverwinter and Star Trek Online. These systems identified potential problem cases and permanently bound tradeable items to the player account. For instance, if a lockbox key or a package with a collection of items was purchased, all contents of these items would also become account bound.

To improve the player experience, we are implementing a change so that such binding will no longer be permanent. Instead, these items will be bound to account for a limited duration, shown by a countdown timer. After this, the items will become tradeable. If you do not see the countdown timer, the item is permanently bound to account by design. You can tell if an item has this timer in your game UI as per the image below:



This update will be implemented across all platforms for both Neverwinter and Star Trek Online. We plan to adjust the sensitivity of the system over time to minimize the impact on our legitimate customers. We welcome your feedback and appreciate your patience in this matter.

Dammit. XD

I suppose that's a good thing. Whenever I buy something in a pack, if I want to sell it, I usually forget about it for a month and then sell it when my inventory fills up lol

[Jestersmith]

It's a good thing but the last time they tried to do Anti-Fraud they broke everything fingers crossed this doesn't go the same way and that when it's in its final incarnation it balances out.

Meh.

Or Finally.

As of this post I am interestingly indifferent.

Until I open a box and get that uber -rare ship. Then I'm sure it'll matter

So does this mean I can't sell Keys right away? Or does this only effect suspicious activity?

From the way I read it, you have to be flagged as suspicious before the Bound to Account and countdown timer hit you.

[Sul-Matuul]

Yeah if you are acting in a suspect way then I guess it'll spot you and put a timer on sales. It seems like at least an attempt to control the dodgy practices going on I guess.
Now how easy it is to get flagged up as suspect is another matter. I guess simply buying a keyring and selling is fine, but those guys buying thousands?....maybe not.

And i'm guessing it'll watch the exchange too? Because those guys running macros to insta-buy low end keys and stuff are the real trouble makers I feel.
