Honestly, I am not 100% sure how that would work because I have NO idea how the programming would go on this xD Keith and I have been talking about it for a while and he said this feature is possible with the new wardrobe, so I'm not sure how it goes for it being both attached to the owner AND the user. To be fair, we can manually move items if we have to, but I'm not sure how it would work from a programming perspective.

Totally appreciate your opinion! This is kind of a "six of this, half a dozen of the other" situation from my OWN personal opinion - I had one item released that was 'private' and people sold it later, which was annoying but I wasn't going to chase them down to get it back, since it wasn't private so much as one batch and idc. I know there are some people very possessive over their private items, however (which is fine!), so that's the person this feature would target. I know I would never PERSONALLY use it, and I'm sure quite a few wouldn't! But I've bought a few CWs myself where I've been told "this is private don't sell it" and while I wouldn't just because... I don't, there's obviously nothing stopping someone from doing it ;)

I'll have to see if the trading it back to the creator method would work, if there's a way to link it to them - again, beyond my knowledge but I'll see what i can find out!

(this'll probably be my last reply tonight guys, it's late and my internet is only half functioning! Just so you guys don't think I made this topic and then was like BRB ignoring you)

Okay i lied, one more response!

I personally agree with you as well, Cathii - my own definition of a 'private versus single batch item' is a private item would go to people you trust. Unfortunately I know not everyone thinks that way, and we (as a whole on staff, especially the UAs!) have just had to break up a LOT of battles of people claiming they sold so-and-so a private item that was then sold/traded away and they're mad. This would stop that from ever happening in the end, IF people wanted to use it.

You'd of course still be more than welcome to make single batch non-official private items, knowing we won't enforce it being 'private' c:

I'm not sure how it would bring more drama? People are still releasing private items despite the shops (i've bought one since then, haha) and will continue to do so. There's always going to be drama involving custom items, unfortunately, but that's the nature of this sort of system. People will always complain about an item only having x-amount of batches, being private, being too expensive, being too exclusive, not being exclusive enough, etc. I'm genuinely curious how you think this would bring MORE drama, because I see it as bringing a lot less for people who REALLY care about this sort of thing.

I appreciate the feedback so far, guys! I don't have the time to individually reply right now but I've read it all so far c: just wanted to let you all know!

(And everyone else xD)

I wouldn't want this to happen if it would make items unable to go into pet treasures, TRUST ME. I'd say half the Cws I've bought ARE for pet treasures, and being a Pet Person myself, I wouldn't have this go into effect if it wouldn't work that way ;) NO WORRIES THERE I PROMISE!!

I hesitate to say 'never', but I can honestly say that I do not see us policing private items for the very very foreseeable future. We decided a LONG time ago we weren't going to go there, because every shop owner has their own ideas about what constitutes as private. It's just not going to happen.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone =) you've definitely given us a lot to think about regarding this idea!

This board is realllyyyy old at this point. Going to go ahead and lock it :)
