Perished RLs and ongoing scam

Hello GM!
Greetings!
We've observed that certain characters in Quanato, specifically Bancho (also known as Haramzadi, Alchupakabra, Shehzada, Jhaant) along with Hyperstorm (aka Draugr), are selling Perished RLs through noob characters in shops. This exploit takes advantage of players who are unfamiliar with the new system. To address this, it's recommended to either render Perished RLs non-tradable or have them automatically destroyed upon expiration. Currently, allowing trade of perished RLs doesn't provide value and could lead to more scams. Your input is aimed at resolving this issue, though it may be met with resistance from potential scammers. Thank you for raising awareness about this concern.

Perished Rubal's Linguine is clearly marked as
Perished in the Item Properties.
In the item description also, it's clearly mentioned that the item will expire in 24 hours. Player caution is always advised while making any kind of deals.

I appreciate your response and attention to this matter, Blade.
Humble request, if it won’t be too much of a development effort, please consider making this change because perished RLs also say “expires in 24 hours” and permitting the trade of Perished RLs would not bring any benefits or add value to the server in any way.
Thanks again,
Worldbeater

Dear GMs,
You should have to add the shared screenshot in the below link, where you have added all the update details.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6734
This can stop such kind of fraudulent.
I am also not aware of it. This can be faced by many new mania+ sub users in the upcoming days.
(People who laugh on victim, can be part of that scamming deals.)
Regards,

Rubal's Linguine introduces a fresh addition to the "Perishable Items" category. Moving forward, we will unveil a variety of Perishable items with differing expiration durations, including certain perishable items that gradually lose their effectiveness over time.
With that being said, since these are a new category of items, we expect players to pay more attention towards the expiry dates and make it a habit when dealing with Perishable items. If you intend to re-sell a Perishable item or use it later, you have to pay attention to the expiry time. If you come across a player selling a Perishable Item with very low expiry time remaining, you might as well negotiate a cheaper buying price. Hence, it's very important to keep an eye on the expiry time of the item and we expect players to get used to this system and be more cautions and aware while making deals or consuming these items.

We will change this in the upcoming update to "Perishable Item" to avoid confusion.

Bro Expires in 24hours is just a description of an item. I don't understand where it is wrong..
People don’t even notice the Perished in red. Do you think he will see Expires in 24hours?
He said that others scammed him, and later said that it was the game description that made him misunderstand..
Isn't the answer obvious? They just never admit their mistakes.
What you're doing is just getting them into bad habits..
