Rakghoul Plague Outbreak Ended - Surprised by this?

>Have earned DNA samples that you can't get from dailies anymore.

>Want to spend earned DNA samples on items.

>Will somehow result in vestiges of an expired event cluttering game if I'm able to spend these earned DNA samples.

They can be destroyed or given away.

There are two factions here:

1) Players with earned DNA samples who can't spend it because they haven't been gaming all weekend.

2) Players who want to make sure these other players can't use their earned DNA samples so their rewards will have more value.

What side does BW pick?

How does this affect public relations?

I don't believe BW is stupid. Those of us (the majority) just need to stay vocal about it. The players in group 2 will continue to try and prevent their items from losing a small percentage of value, but the way this should play out will be played out. Let the group 2 players try. Logicless, but they have to try.

Really? So explain to me the motivation behind those saying the vendor should not be put back in game for people, who were not playing the past 3 days to see the post about it being removed, wanting to spend their earned DNA samples.

I'm curious as to your rationalization.

Event over = can't get anymore event currency, not that the vendor is gone. That was not explained until 3 days before event ended. If it was a given, why did it need to be explained as another matter?

My assumptions were based on the standard of MMO games and how events are handled. It's fine if BW wants to divert from this, but it's not good public relations to tangent and not say anything about it until right before the event ends.

My assumptions were based on the standard of MMO games and how events are handled.

What MMOs are you talking about? Here are the ones I've played:

Dark Age of Camelot: didn't have events
City of Heroes: vendors disappeared as soon as the event was over
World of Warcraft: vendors disappeared as soon as the event was over
The Old Republic: vendor disappeared as soon as the event was over

Do you see a pattern here?



Seems to be that Bioware was conforming to the standard, and it's you who made an incorrect assumption.

You forgot the third group: people who don't care one way or the other about the vendor but who are sick of people whining and crying about things that are their own fault.

I was. 220 DNA samples. Little window for a warning would have been nice.

Put a vendor on the fleet for a week. Put way too much effort to get these. Now I need to flush em down the toilet with all of my Merc, Champion, and Centurion comms????
