If you can't edit posts in EC tunnel anymore, people will just make new posts to update what was sold or purchased, and to update prices. Seems like an unnecessary additional step, but if that's what is required now I guess that's fine.

It makes it impossible to make 1 thread to consolidate all your items for sale and it's nice to be able to edit a post to indicate an item is sold so you don't keep getting PMs for weeks about an item that has long since been sold.

It just makes the entire forum less convenient to use which will cause people to stop using the forums as much for buying and selling making it even more frustrating to find what you need or sell items.... Especially with how packed EC is with everyone trying to buy/sell what they need before velious launch...

One or two threads consolidating your WTS and WTB threads is infinitely better than people creating new threads for each new item they get for sale or want to buy. But because of this change this is now impossible.

All of what Nikkanu said, I agree with.

The EC forum with the inability edit, seems to have no reasoning behind it at all.

Can this please be fixed? It's gonna cause a ton of unnecessary spam.

Can this be reverted for ECTunnel section at least?

It's far easier to edit an ECTunnel thread to reflect the availability and prices on items rather than creating a new thread each day/week.
