The other day when I did a mission with my guild one of the fixers found an IQ ring, as everyone know is unique. The one we found was 7%, a really nice ring, but I thought it would be a problem since I was wearing a 5% IQ Ring.
I tried to pick it up, still wearing the IQ Ring, and it worked. It poped up in my inventory and I could swap the rings without any message. Then I thought this was a kind of a fix, going to explain later....
When we finnished the mission I wanted to give this ring to one in my guild. He couldn't accept it since he had a 2% IQ Ring in his inventory (same message if it was in bank) so he had to delete this ring before he could accept the ring I wanted to give him.
So after this I thought this was the intention. Lets say you find a TL6 Bracer on a mob, but can't wear it in another 10 levels. You can either delete the TL5 Bracer and pick it up, or forget about it. But the way it works now you can pick it up, but you can't trade it to other persons that has it from before.
If this is the intention with uniques I really would like to know, can we loot as many uniques we want, but can't buy and trade them?
