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

nobodys fault but your own,its here to serve a purpose. and if 90% dont visit the forums,then how did they all figure out that the event was ending and there would be no vendor? i highly doubt your % is accurate.
TOR...the best single player game on the market

This is true but they could have put a message in the launcher in BIG RED LETTERS saying when the event was going to end and people would still complain they didn't get any warning.

I don't have any leftover DNA but I really don't see any harm in bringing the trader back for a week somewhere on the fleet.

and cliches dont prove a point. How far off do you think I am? You have prob about 1.7mil subscribers. How many you feel actually went on the website and read the update?

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.
I chose to spend my tokens after I got back today.

Event ending, in 99% of MMOs, means that you can't gain more event currency. It does not mean you can't spend the currency you acquired.

If BW was going to do something other than the standard, it should have been mentioned when the event started.

Regardless of justification, they need to bring the vendor back soon to save face in a community that more or less on the fence about renewing. Just from a PR standpoint. Let's face it, D3 is coming, and pissing off casuals is not a good move.

Not that you'll address anything I've just said beyond, "I knew and I cashed in. You should have to!"

I didn't know when the end of the event was, so when I was in game, I asked in general. And people told me when it ended. No forums required. I'm shocked at the level of crying on these forums about everything. Because people didn't take it upon themselves to literally spend 5 seconds asking when the end was, they'll come crying to the forums. I'm amazed at how people can't take responsibility for their actions.

So that must mean both WoW and SWTOR are in that same 1% of MMOs, because Blizzard does the same thing, and many times, goes even a step farther and removing unused currency from players.

who is ALL? I see more people on this thread complaining of the same thing. This thread is but a fraction of the population but still very representative. So you think only the people who missed out are coming on the forum to complain? For every 1 complaint on this thread, I am pretty sure there are 1000s in the same boat.
