Suggestion:

  • Enable a buy-back option for training manuals.
  • Make the manuals account-bound, so people cannot buy them for cheap and resell (exploiting above).
  • Change the description of the manual to read: “Used to enable setting of traits at _ level. As a bonus, your traits will be reset without additional fees. (Your trainer can also reset traits at a significantly lower cost.)”

Background:
A small fraction of players end up buying an extra manual for various reasons. For newer players, this represents a large outlay of coin and the player can feel it’s wasted. Further, unless you have an alt, the only way to deal with your mistake is to sell the manual on the TP for a minimum of 20% loss (15% in fees and a few percent in order that someone is willing to buy it, instead of purchasing from the vendor).

Change the system so that people can fix their mistake for no net-cost (without being able to exploit this) and update the description to make it less likely that people will purchase a duplicate manual.

Primary Reasons People Buy Extras:

  1. They think (incorrectly) you have to use a manual to respec (addressed by updating the description).
  2. They forget they have already used a manual (could happen to anyone).
