Why would I assume the turn in vendor would be gone after the event ended? That's not normal. Why would a game leave me with all this useless currency?

OH! cause I'm supposed to subscribe for one more year to spend it. A subscription gimmick.

That is the story that will spread.

Just put the vendor back in so everyone is happy.

See this is the funny thing... those who had unspent DNA want the vendor back because they were unaware of when the event ended and/or that the vendor woudl be taken away.

However, every single one of those same players had the ability to do 1 or both of the following, if they were unsure or wanted clarification about anything regarding the event:

* Visit the official website and find the info.
* Ask in game.

Clearly, none of these players did either of those, and because they did not, and instead decided to go with their assumptions, they are now upset because their assumptions were wrong. And because their assumptions were wrong, they want to put the blame on Bioware for their own inability to inform themselves.

You obviously know where the forums are, and how to use them.
On the Internet, you can be anything you want. It is strange so many people choose to be stupid.

Was I surprised by the end of the event? Nope. Not in the least. I was informed of it by guild chat, Tatooine general chat, and by the sticky post in this forum. I was well informed on when the event would end.

So like, if your cellphone carrier decided that those who didn't opt out of an extra 20 dollar charge for the month of April came back with the statement that you had the ability to go to the website or ask another subscriber to see that it was going to happen?

Naw, I'm sure you'd get behind your silly logic then. Your opinion is valid.

This is their first event, it was fun but there are some things that can be improved upon.

Leaving a vendor behind after the event for a week is not unheard of and does not damage the story line
Leaving the vendor behind for a while after the events, and making all event items BoP is pretty much common sense and standard practice in mmos.

Um, yes it is normal. The vendor is part of the event. He appeared when the event began. Ergo, he would disappear when the event ended. You simply got burned because you made assumptions that turned out to be false. It's your own fault.

No, it's not. Not for MMORPGs in general. And even if it is standard in other titles, that does not mean it will occur in SWTOR. You should not assume anything.
