To buy green/black crystals in hopes of hording them till a few weeks after the even and selling them to make a profit... ALOT of people did this

it is ****** you had real life obligations..it sucks alot. but if you had real life stuff that was going to creep up. and from what you said it was pretty much constant ( family and what not) you should have spent them when you had enough to buy what you needed.. safer that way

Nothing stopping those players from buying the crystals as their DNA amounts afforded them.

Again, player fault.
On the Internet, you can be anything you want. It is strange so many people choose to be stupid.

WoW does have an in-game calendar where you can check how long an event will last. Hopefully TOR will add something similar... eventually.

On Daragon Trail, the "Pubs", led by "NEW HOPE" were camping the Vendor and killing all Imperials when they got near the hill..BUT the IMPERIALS rallied together (yes people even left the FLEET), and Destroyed the "Pubs".. It felt great to see such Unity and thus allowed Imperials to ALSO turn in their DNA.. People were even givinf away extras to help others get items.. It was a great event, brought the community together in ways that I have not seen in game before, SO great job BW!!

It's BW's prerogative what they do with my point of view. It's also the point of view of thousands of silent players that don't care enough at this point to say anything.

I don't usually post or read the forums.

BW can take my complaint however they want. I've never complained on the forums, only discussed the fun aspects. I don't blame them for anything but a bad decision that happens to validly annoy me and other likes me.

The only reason to not put the vendor back in would be to keep a higher value on the items that were sold. So I get why players like you would want to keep this the way it is.

This is just a bad move from a public relations standpoint, so your opinion is useless to me. You simply want a rarer/more valuable item. I don't care if you think this situation is great, your motive is the only reason for your opinion.

There is no reason for BW to not add the vendor again. Players have DNA to spend. Put the vendor back in, or we've wasted our time.

Why woudl my motive have anything to do with it? I got my crystals and pets that I wanted for my own characters. I got nothing to sell down the road. I just bought my things as I had the DNA for it, and didn't wait to have 400 DNA before I bought anything.

So again, just because YOU chose not to spend your DNA when you had the chance to spend it, it does not make it Biowares fault.

EDIT: And for the record I never said to not bring the vendor back. I also never said to NOT bring him back. I never stated any stance on that.

You do realize that at least 90% of the playerbase dont visit the forum or the site, right?
