The standard of MMO games is to remove the vendor when the event ends. You made an assumption based on your own preconceived notion, and you turned out to be wrong.

Interesting, the games I've played always had the event vendors disappear when the event ended because of the fact that they are event vendors. That's rather the point of an event, you participate in it and get what it has to offer before it's over.

Yup. I was wrong. Sucks to be me.

Sucks to be a lot of us.

BW, please reinstate vendors so players like myself, and the silent majority, can spend their earned DNA samples.

There you go assuming that everyone who doesn't post here is in agreement with you. Probably a fair number of those "silent" players simply don't care either way, and probably a few more would be in agreement with those who see no reason to bring the vendor back.

See, both sides can play the "silent majority". And there is no way to prove the other wrong, so it pretty much nullifies the "silent majority" argument.
On the Internet, you can be anything you want. It is strange so many people choose to be stupid.

Better.

The right way to start a thread: Bioware, I messed up and didn't realize the vendor would be gone when the event ended. Can you bring it back?

The wrong way to start a thread: Bioware, YOU HAVE WRONGED ME!! How dare you remove the vendor! No one in their right mind would do that! The last 10 people subbed to the game are going to quit because you are terrible people!!!

Man... people that play every day seem like an angry bunch.

Anyway, BW, I wasn't around for 3 days. I knew the event to acquire DNA samples was ending, but I didn't assume that meant the vendor would be out of game at the same time. Since putting it back in, after this clarification of future events, wouldn't harm anything (and only allow players to spend their earned DNA samples), I really think you should do it.

No downside.

THX!

There was even one year they even changed the event currency from the previous year, rendering any that people had saved from years past to be completely useless.
they changed the brew fest currency... but you could turn in your old currency for the new stuff.

I dunno about that. I'd rather forget about wasting my in-game time for a week.
