So, about that Silver/Broker Selling thing...

Neither my husband nor I ever had a 'station pass' and we both had broker access until a couple of months ago.

“Thank you Avirodar for the respect you continue to show to those who have had a different experience than yours.

If it was a bug or some forgotten bit of code that was not corrected it was never my intention to "cheat" or exploit the system and I can't say that I appreciate allegations that me or mine would have acted intentionally by certain folk here.

For many casual players if you read the specs and then play the game and do what you can, assuming that it is correct. We do not maintain a list of all the Cans/Can'ts and "should be able to/shouldn't be able to" handy to reference to make sure we are not violating something.”

Thank you as well, for being amicable and understanding of why some people are questioning the claim made by the OP. I also believe you in that there was no intention of anything malicious or nefarious on your side. Being able to sell at a broker is hardly going to set of alarm bells.

“However, it would be nice if there was some acknowledgement that this change had been made. I accept that I may be delusional, but I am hoping that I am not seeing things in the number of others that have reported formerly having the ability to list and sell broker items as a Silver Account.”

I believe the closest we have to acknowledgement is in the bug thread, 2nd page
https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...ver-acct-cant-use-broker-since-update.604475/

The OP of that thread was about the inability to BUY. This was acknowledged as an unintended and was fixed (per Denmum). When two people suggest the issue was not fixed, Caith states silver accounts still require tokens to SELL.

Could Caith and Denmum be wrong? Of course. If they are, the best way for players to change the devs position is via actual evidence. Unfortunately, people stating they have been able to do it for 10 years is not evidence that it was intended. Plenty of people have looked for evidence, you and I included, and found nothing. Maybe someone will find something we missed?

“I'm wondering if the discrepancies between the silver accounts had anything to do with the old Station Pass vs EQ2 only subs.
I ask, because my wife, younger brother, and myself were Station Pass subscribers and all stopped playing shortly after Sentinel's Fate was introduced.

Since then I and sometimes my wife have popped in for brief visits to Norrath over the years, each time using the silver account status. I would however pick up things from the store, such as a new race, new class, or just some appearance item, so I could go traipse around my old haunts in my new duds. With nary a thought of the restrictions of silver v gold v bronze even after the FTP was modified to its current state of Subs vs Non Subs and the silver accounts that still exist.

But each time, we were able to sell on the broker. at least until recently. I get that according to all documentation we were not supposed to have that ability per se, but anecdotally I've know I have had the ability to do so since the silver accounts were first introduced.

So I am curious if anyone else who had the "grandfathered" Silver accounts that could still sell on the broker were old Station Pass subscribers as well. That might be a possibility as to where things came from or how some accounts could vs those that couldn't.”

Nope! I have 2 Station Pass accounts that harken back from day 1, and they're also "Grandfathered Beaten Dead Horse on the Ground Since Day 1 too." Good Grief. Neither could ever sell on the broker if it went to Silver and still can't now.
