Rakghoul Plague Outbreak Ended - Surprised by this?

I understand that some people want the vendor up so they can spend last minute DNA (or even worst selling it for extra high high price and gouge the market since you can't get it anymore) I think this might be one of the reason BW remove it. To prevent price gouging.

The other I believe is part of the event. No more Rakghoul no need to buy DNA (from vendor perspective) it was announce all over in short of having RED letter flash in the middle of the screen with a count down meter.

I understand this is a game, but if everything is handed to you (which almost is consider it was on the splash login screen) and if you just skip it and click play, I can't but feel sorry for you.

Wow. I knew they were going to end it but not pull the vendor. Usually vendors stay a long while after events end... that is in other games....

Wow, there are actually quite a few people who WOULD be ticked off had the vendor been up still??? Really? Are all those people like 5 year olds? Because that is exactly how I would expect little kids to feel. "I got my lollypop and you cant have any...na na na na na....."

And this is the essential point.

We just want to spend our earned DNA samples.

No harm done.

I don't have anything to prove. I'm saying that there is no basis for your scenario, no evidence that it's realistic. A lack of evidence, by it's very nature, supports my position.

You're the one who's claiming it's an accurate scenario. it falls to you to demonstrate that.

There are some harm to the player economy the item cannot longer be obtain anymore, leaving the vendor in will create a "inflated market" for unscrupulous people who want to sell DNA for 10k a piece (why not, can't get it anymore) people who still have 200 or whatever will be tempted to sell it.

This may cause a different group of people to cry out saying it is not fair to have an item that is no longer obtainable and can be traded. People will complain one form or another. I think you should just bank it for now and maybe it will come back (more than likely on another planet I'm hoping)

Do you even read the pages or just claim to; here are several reasons for those of you too lazy to read the posts but eager to post more ignorance.

-They had a RL issue come up where they were unexpectedly unable to turn it in for whatever reason.
(Funeral <-mine, grounded, work/job emergency, didnt read the notes, unknown that vendor was gone too)
-They were unable to turn it in because they play on a pvp server and its in a pvp open fighting area and one side wouldnt let the other side use it (you think its unlikely but for sure it happened on my server the last day)
-They lost internet/power/cable the last few days ( i do know someone this happened to)

There is several reasons why they didnt get it done. now someone explain to me a valid reason why they shouldnt add the vendor for a week? Tell me how this hurts you?

Remember nobody here is asking for the quests to be active or world bosses respawned just the vendor. You might have gotten all the joy you wanted while the event was up, but why forsake the others who didnt?

Everyone states this, yet no one demonstrates the validity of the statement ...

Fair enough.

Reasonable.

It's not a deal breaker for me. It's good to see someone who disagrees, yet understands the other side of the argument accurately.
