Asherons Call: Bandit Weapons and Tinkering

Apparently, a bug was introduced with this event which allows players to imbue Bandit Weapons. This was not intended and here's what the "Voice of Turbine" had to say on the matter:
[blockquote]Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are aware of this issue and it was not something we intended for Bandit Hilted weapons. This issue will likely be fixed in the December event, at which time any affected hilted weapons will have Magic Item Tinkering effects removed. We recommend that you do not try to apply these effects to your hilted weapons for the month of November, due to the high probability of the weapon being destroyed in the process.[/BLOCKQUOTE]
