Trading Bug/Glitch Lvl 26 but trade currency and rares is blocked

This has to be one of the worst whine threads I've seen, people complaining about level restrictions on new ways to combat RMTers. Legit users? Legit users support GGG by buying stash tabs. Lvl26 is low.

If people who play it for free complains, they will never give any money.
I'll support the game with money when the rules will not change every month.
Build nerfed, mules account nerfed... Desyncs not yet fixed, disconnect while mapping... And no idea where GGG is going with that game.

And fighting against RMT? I contacted support, I gave them the email address of my mules. Then they know that mules account are owned by my main account. Then really, no risk of RMT. They just have to unlock restriction on that two accounts.

Lol, so every RMT bottler would just need to email support with a valid account and say he has mules to get the restriction lifted?

That would be a great idea. Then if someone is boting or do RMT, all his account would be banned if they are linked. Linking mules to a main account would be nice if the goal is really to fight against RMT. Maybe they aren't fighting against that?

the obvious way for trading if you're below level 25 is to do it the way everybody was forced to do it in closed beta because of a missing trade mechanism: you meet in an monster less area out of town and throw your items on the ground for exchanging them.

this obviously needs alot of trust but mostly worked in closed beta cause there were less people and they had a different spirit than now.

i wouldn't trade like this now but the non-sensical level 25 restriction forces newbies to use it and (i can imagine) potentially get betrayed on their items.

It doesn't work to drop items, they are as "perm allocation".

About the rares trading problem, I got the confirmation, it's a bug :

"Thanks for the mail. Sorry for the brevity with my reply, I am on my phone.

There is currently a client bug where rare/magic items are affected by that restriction but you can get around it by ground-trading or using the guild stash. This should be fixed in the next patch though.

Sorry about that!

Cheers,
Chris"

EDIT: Problem totally solved for me :) Thank you very much Chris.

this issue is the exact one discussed in this thread too :

But nobody is asking : where is the patch notes on this ? Like GGG just wanted to kill all the mules behind the scenes hoping no one will notice ?

And this is affecting all items magic and rares not only uniques. Only white items can be traded by the mules account.

Pretty sure it was a news post, it might have been included in one of the patch's notes though.

Yes, now support send that kind of emails :

"I wish to apologise for the delay! During the time delay, we've been investigating the cause of this issue, and we've come across the bug with the trading system. As you know already, we've recently added the restriction on trading unique items from user accounts under level 25. This was added in once we found out the major RMT sites were leaving currency items behind and taking the med to high range unique items from their accounts and selling them cheaply.

Unfortunately, it would seem magic and rare items were also added to that restriction somehow, and this is what is causing your current issue. I am very sorry for this hassle, and we are applying the fix in the next patch. I'm afraid however that it will probably be quicker if you level one of your mule characters to level 25 in the mean time.".

Sure, that kind of changes must be say in Patch notes...
But not only RMT guys store their uniques in mules accounts, some fair players too.

Temporary Solution:
Go OUTSIDE of Town and do the trade OUT there.
Worked with a friend having this problem when we tested it out.
