Rakghoul Plague Outbreak Ended - Surprised by this?

because they made the date of the event's conclusion perfectly clear, stated that we would need to complete all the event content before that date, and Bioeare should not cater to entitled, self-important users who cannot bother to inform themselves about the game when the developers go to the trouble of making information readily available.

A valid reason for not adding it back in?

Cause it''s over. No other reason is needed. It was told and repeated when the event would end.

You don't go back into best buy on Sunday and say, "Hey I was at a funeral and missed the special sales that ended yesterday. Start them up again so I can get the same deal."

That doesn't happen and nor should it. Timed event is timed. You missed it.

The special is over. You're done.

In Everquest for example they leave vendors up weeks if not months or years after events end. They discontinue the storyline and quest items, but if you happen to be on the last step they dont begrudge you that because you did what was needed to get the reward.

Some people here myself included that the vendor would not be removed as soon as the event ended. You can tell me blizzard does this and whatever does that. But this is not blizzard nor is it everquest or any other company or game. We are just asking that the vendor be temporary added to like the space station or some other non pvp area for a reasonable amount of time like a week and then removed.

I dont feel this is an unreasonable request at all. Specifically because the quest did end so upruptly and recently. You can say it was in the forums or people on your server said blah blah. But obviously some people were unaware and unhappy.

Where does it stop? what if they lost massive power for 2 months and have over 600 DNA. Do you leave the vendor up for 3 months so someone can get to it?

Real life happens. It is like asking Santa to stay in their booth after Dec 25th in the mall cause someone is too busy to take their kid for a photo during the allotted time. Or asking a store to accept expired coupons (a week later) to buy a product that is no longer for sale (in this case green/black crystals and companion skins)

It was a timed event and if real life gets in the way, too bad. I only notice the event AFTER the 2nd day and could rejoin until the 7th day due to work. Oh well. I could have gotten tons of companion skin (duplicate) but I got only 6 skins which for republic character which I don't have luck of the draw. I still have at least 40 more due to last minute farming but lost internet and decides to sleep so didn't cash in. I am not asking for a vendor cause RL trump game. If I miss it, I miss it.

This was only if you took the time to go to the website outside of the game to find this information. I did not see ingame that this was going to end until i logged on today to find its not there. All I ask is there needs to be better communication ingame for those with limited time to play.

Yet another post of I got mine you didnt get yours too bad.

No one will pay 10k per piece if they dont think it is worth it. So if you think a 41crystal (green/black) is worth 830k then what BIO did pre 1.2 to sell crystals for 1mil+ is a complete rip off. So what players may be able to do is "bad", but if it is done by the game devs, it's ok?
I dont see why ANYONE would complain if someone sold a piece for 100k each. There are literally only two people affected in this transaction; the guy who got the money, and the idiot who paid it. How is that affecting you in ANY way? it is not like the selling of DNA sample is going to create credits that weren't available in the economy anyways. It's a simple supply and demand.
I have an [Unusual Eff] that I cant sell for 100k. Two nights before, some lucky guy sold one for 1mil. Did that affect me in any way?
I actually was one of those that sold DNA for 5k a piece in the beginning of the event. On Sunday, people were selling them for 500ea. since everyone knew by then how easy it is to farm them. A lot of people just wanted to farm as much as they can and see how much they ended up with and on their own time decide which crystals to buy.

That is YOUR opinion that it was made very clear. If it WAS very clear, why did they come on the forum just the night before to tell people to spend all their DNAs? What % of the playerbase go on the forum? Out of that, what is the % of them checking the thread and seeing the April23 update? You are assuming that everyone plays and follows up with things exactly like you do. And you know what they say about ASSUMPTIONs.

Yet another post of "I didn't get mine in time because I decided not to buy anything when I had the DNA for it so now I will QQ until I get it"....

Thank you for your constructive posts... you've made many constructive posts so far on this thread....
All of them beginning and ending with stop QQing
