[FIXED] Giving bots attunable items

Has there been an update to attunable items in which by giving them to a bot now makes them no trade?
A few weeks ago I have gave my Pegasus nostril
webtools/items.php?id=17599 to a bot to hold because I was solo and looting another. Today I tried to trade it to an alt and noticed that is now marked as a no trade item. I know I never attuned it to any player character so it had to have been changed when I gave it to my bot. I never saw any "Are you sure" type warning like you would normally get when attuning an item.
I have moved things to & from bots before without this issue.

I just tested giving a
Broken Bone Loop to my bot and it was still tradeable after I Removed it. After you looted the second one, did you attune that one?

Aye Warlgor, I never had a problem before either. No, I never attuned it...I have only clicked it from inventory to use the illusion. I have traded it to and back from my bard alt so we could use the illusion, but I never attuned it.
I have much better stat items, so there would be no reason to attune.

I miss the days when bots were account-wide

You could put a no-drop item on the bot, switch toons, and withdraw it

Also worked for the de-level potion thing. Delevel yourself, give the re-level item to the bot, switch toons, take tonic off bot, and turn it in for a free level 70 toon

I never did this, of course

(I sadly told Lillu about it

)
But back on topic, bots used to not "attune" items (as in a couple months ago-ish) but after hearing someone mention it in /ooc, I dropped an un-attuned item from SH on my trusty bot and she attuned it. I think it was that same item you used, Warlgor.

Can't remember specifically during what expansion it was on Live but I know it was around SoF, that they changed it that if you clicked the attuneable item from an inventory slot that it made it no longer tradeable.
So I don't know if this is client related or server.

Patience is a virtue. Please keep in mind that the devs have lives outside of the game as well and don't always have time to fix and/or respond to every thread.
I added this to my to do and will look into it as soon as I can.

Found the problem. If a bot is camped while holding an attuneable item, then that item will become no drop.
We will look into fixing this asap.

Thanks Vaion. Will my attuned item become tradeable again?
