Alla:
I have to assume that I am being that unclear. I do not consider the
exchange of the currency to be the same as buying the jewelry and all
other crafts from Goblins. This is one of the examples where goblins
will be IMO very sure to not loose their clients' trust.
But we do not even know that Goblins consider money their property
forever and ever,do we?
I will not be surprised that those views are restricted to highly
valuable items similar to Sword, but that is of course just
speculation.
It just feels so incredibly unfair to me, but I wrote about it
earlier. And yes, before you ask I think that prohibition to carry
wands is just as unfair.
JMO,
Alla
