Uhmm - What?

[~ Aki - Fairy ~]

Why are Creme Daisie and Bubblegum Marionette Restrung ([Animal] versions) in Loyal's as regular items now?
On Wednesday they were released in there as LQIs. It's even in the announcement that they were LQIs.

The new Limited Quantity Items [Animal] Bubblegum Marionette Restrung and [Animal] Creme Daisie are a dashing pair of darling delights who spend their time in my Bazaar doing delicate things, like hiding in the rafters and asking to leave. Not to say that my tent is a bad place to be, but it seems that some of the more peculiar happenings of the stage are a bit too terrifying for the faint of heart. Ah, the continuing bug problem may be a part of the sitatuation as well, I suppose. Nevertheless, these adorable animal arrivals will be in Loyal's Bazaar until March 1st at 9:59 AM PST or until they sell out-- it may be sooner than you think, ladies and gentlemen. I hope to see you there shortly!

Edit: Somebody just mentioned elsewhere that they weren't able to actually buy them via regular purchasing process at least and checking the MP it says they're not available in stores right now, but it would still be nice to know for sure what's going on

Now if that could only happen to the Dragonslayer items...

Someone whoops'ed on that one. lol
I sincerely hope it's just a mistake, of course, that's no comfort for those
who bought it with the understanding it's an LQI.

I saw this and had to check it out. This seems strange. Was this done on purpose? Although, looking at the LQI policy, it seems as if the 6 month wait period only applies to the Cash shop and so whoever put it back in the shop is well within their rights to re-release the items... even if it has only been a few days. (Although point six, human error, could still apply.) I didn't buy the items, as I don't see the point of vending or buying items for their monetary value, and I still don't like this. It seems a little bit like a slap in the face of Paws users.

As others have said, I hope that this was an honest mistake and will be fixed soon. If it wasn't a mistake, some clarification on what the LQI policy is for Loyal's shop, as opposed to the Cash shop, would be very helpful.

LQI policy:

The following is our policy on Limited Quantity Items (LQIs).

•Any LQI will not be sold in the Cash Shop again for a period of at least six months.
•If an LQI is resold again after six months, it will then be restricted from being sold for at least six months from the recent sale date.
•Upon its resale, we reserve the right to convert the LQI to a normal item by not limiting how many can be sold. If an item is sold or resold and does not have a limited amount, it is not considered an LQI.
•Six months is defined from when the item enters the shop.
•With regards to LQI items inside of a bundle (this is called an LQI bundle). The item that comes with the purchase of the bundle is consider an LQI and follows the same six month standard. •The bundle itself though may be sold again in the future with the LQI item removed.
•If, in the unlikely event, we release an LQI in a bundle or Chance Item earlier than six months then this is human error and not intentional. We will remove the item as soon as we know about the problem. Users who received the LQI in this manner will be allowed to keep it due to the fault on our part.
•There may be times that LQIs are sold in Flynn’s Plunder. These items were donated for the purpose of being sold in Flynn’s Plunder. If you are interested in donating an LQI to Flynn’s Plunder. Then you may send a gift to [NPC] Flynn. Please note that you will not receive proceeds from the Marketplace transaction.
•We reserve the right to make changes to this policy. If we do, we will communicate any changes before they are made.

Screenshot of the items (for those not in Loyal's):




edit: If the item can't be purchased the regular way, can it be gifted? That was how one of the LQIs in Loyal's had to be purchased, I believe.
edit x2: Nope, attempting to gift it results in the prompt: "invalid item in the shop." No gold exchanged, no item... we just have pretty pictures taunting us.
