My group and I were in the contested Sleepers, killed Illustor Prime and the essence dropped. One of the group members who already had the ring which is made by this essence hit need on the item because he forgot he already had it. At first we think, no problem we can just trade it to someone else in group just like every other piece of loot... It cannot be traded, ok I guess we'll petition it.... Please make these tradeable within the group for 48 hours and in the mean time instruct your GM staff to allow transferring of these. It is bad enough these things are insanely rare and only 1 per group when they do drop but to have one completely wasted because someone didn't memorize the faction merchant is ridiculous. Maybe add a giant warning saying you already have the item it creates too. P.S. the entire group has done the sig quest so the second part of the GMs reply doesn't even apply to this situation
