Exactly. I'm sure the event will come around again, so just hold onto your DNA's.

I only participated in the event yesterday. I went and did the quests/dailies for it and then got inffected and blew up until I had enough for the green/black pvp crystal. Anyone that had more DNA than that and was not able to buy the rewards they wanted simply procrastinated for to long and paid the price for it. Next time an event rolls around spend the marks as you get them and you may enjoy the event more.

Not their fault you didn't keep yourself informed.
Haha, there you have it. You pointed out Biowares mistake.
There was no official information about when the event was going to end inside the game.
Only players chatting, not to be trusted, they can be agents of the Empire/Republic.

I feel Bioware should have made every player aware ingame of atleast the end date.
This could be spammed by the game itself as a whisper to the player on login until the event ended, or by ingame email from the Emperor or Satele.

Until the game came down today for a patch announced yesterday you were able to accumulate dna samples. To spend those samples you had to go to the vendor in Tat . It was indicated that the special event would end this morning but there was no suggestion that the vendor would disappear. In fact, I died in Fleet today and received 5 dna samples. I have 171 samples to spend witth the vendor. PLEASE restore the vendor in Tat or on the Fleet for a resonable time such at 5 days. Thank you

This is the epitome of "assbackwards".

Further embarrassment for BW, but no need to complicate the actual issue of the vendor being gone.

Really, can you please give us the details of this message that spoke of the specifics and the vendor's disappearance?

You also had the opportunity to spend the dna before those three days you were gone came up. You were lazy and just assumed that they would do something different and they didn't. Event is over the vendor left, no different then what happens once a month with DF or Lunar Festival, etc.....

im sure this event will reappear at some point again. or they may even put the vendor back in for people.

i know on my server people are still getting the plaque so people are still receiving DNA Samples.
