According to the latest media release
"one of our guidelines for putting items into in-game stores is to never allow that exact item to also exist in the Zen Market."

Does this mean they will be removing Coal wards from the PC trade bar store

Also, "never allow that exact item to also exist in the Zen Market" should be interpreted as "that exact item should not exist in Zen Market" instead of should not exist in the in-game stores.

we dont want to sell same things in both zen store and t-bar shop. What we did on PC is a test we consider failed so when wont do the same on Xbox.
IF i read it right, they are not happy and might change things
"one of our guidelines for putting items into in-game stores is to never allow that exact item to also exist in the Zen Market."
Unless they say, "well, this is different game. That is a XBOX ONLY guideline", nobody will feel comfortable.
I would not even feel a thing if that guideline was not written in that post at all.
And for those not following the matter, the issue is less about the loss of cheaper coal wards, or the loss of coal wards entirely. The issue is about how Cryptic handled and advertised the issue. For those 3.5 months they had been lead to believe their TB store would be the exact same as ours. This was a stealth change that the players kept asking about to be sure of, but Cryptic constantly dodged the matter, and then they tried to retroactively alter forum posts and news announcements to cover their trail when the HAMSTER started approaching the fan. The day before the patch they went around making these stealth, unannounced edits to history. That is what the storm is about.
The issue is about the stuff Cryptic is doing and how they're treating the game and the players.
orchestrated deceptionsinnocent typos by rescinding their purchases, but Cryptic's standard defense is to tell them if they charge back then their account will be perma-banned; they'll hold your characters hostage to stop you from taking your money back. Normally I'd just say that's standard operating procedure. Companies can get ripped off pretty hardcore if they don't do this, after all. But in my experience it's very rare when Cryptic itself will issue any sort of refund. I think their fix to the bug with starlight parcels being opened in the hour after the event patch but before the event actually started is one of the few examples I know of where they said "oops, sorry, here's your stuff back and we even gave you credit for the messed up ones you opened". But the "bind on equip is a lie" issue with Challenge of the Gods gifts from the zen store? Oh well, deal with it, they promise to pay more attention next time.But XBox gets to turn the tables on them. They can go to Microsoft and request the refund from them, and have MS deal with Cryptic/PWE instead--it becomes MS demanding money back from Cryptic/PWE instead of the player's bank, with the threat of holding hostage what PWE wants. Or so I assume, as I'm not an expert on exactly how this sort of thing works. Whether that will pan out to anything, I don't know. Hopefully something good for the game is the end result.
