As an update; I have tried this approximately 100 times now. I've got the timing down perfect, however, I've not gotten this exploit to work.
here's what i've experienced:
1) trade too soon - the person putting the tinker on gets "not a valid target" message and the person receiving the tinker gets the un-tinked item
2) trade too late - the person putting the tinker on gets "can't trade soulbound items" message and owns gloves he can't use
3) trade right on time - both people get D/C'd and the person putting the tinker on owns gloves he can't use
Based on this, I'm guessing this exploit only works with loot dropped from bosses with the trade timer on it. Great for everyone else...not good for my level 1![]()
