Everytime staff introduces a new mark into the game, they are placed into tier 5 until a lioness who has her drops officially. This means that the mark cannot be RMA'D, found on groupies, RMR'd, Total Shuffled, ect.

Given we already have an issue with traits being hoarded by selfish or inactive players, so much so that the entire raffle system is being overhauled, I have to wonder what exactly is the point of making new Tier 2 marks un-RMAable. This simply contributes, however small, to monopolies that prevent the spread of desired traits. There is no reason for this feature to be a feature.

This change, practically speaking, is very small. The RMA only gives a user a .5% chance of getting a Tier 2 mark. That is less than 1% and means a user would have to use roughly 150 RMAs or similar items to even GET a Tier 2 Mark. Then, the person would have to be extremely lucky and get a that specific marking; assuming all Tier 2 markings have an equal chance to be chosen, that roll would be even more difficult than the first. I haven't counted all the Tier 2 marks, but I'm confident there's more than 150 of them to choose from.

I just don't see why new marks are being pointlessly gatekept. If people pay the GB, and the money to get the GB, and are doubly lucky with a Tier 2 and new Tier 2 marking roll, then so be it.
