So you're saying that people, like me, DID see a clear message about this, and just chose to ignore it thinking that coming here to complain would automatically resolve the issue. Really? it is that easy to get one's way?

I log in the game every day for about an hour or so. I didnt see the message on the launcher. Frankly I dont pay attention. I usually load the game, switch screen or walk away while it is loading. I come back and login my character blindly and out of habit clicking the same buttons.

The point of "ending and event" is to stop the acquisition of the "special event" currency. Most people are not complaining that the event ended without them knowing or finding out about it. They are complaining that the vendor was removed.

Put a vendor on the fleet for a week. Put way too much effort to get these. Now I need to flush em down the toilet with all of my Merc, Champion, and Centurion comms????

They put up the end date of the event in a sticky on the 2nd day of the event. That is one hell of a 6 day window if you ask me. If you did not check the forums (The MAIN way BW communicates with its players) its your own damn fault.

I have to say, I thought it ended at the end of today, so am a little dissapointed...but it appears I didn't read the timings correctly, my own fault...oh well....no big deal, I had lots of fun during the event and actually joined in on the event late so happy to have gotten one crystal....now I have 46 DNA and 10 Vaccines....sure they will do this Rakghoul plague again though so into my vault they go

Wow its amazing that even though bringing back the vendor affects none of you arguing against it your still here saying no dont do it. I dont have a good reason and this doesnt affect me in the slightest, but dont do it, we dont want them to be happy since clearly im not. So many trolls arguing something that doesnt affect them AT ALL!

If BW doesn't reinstate the vendor, they're just agreeing with the players who would rather throw under the bus the players that are holding DNAs but don't play as much as them. There is no reason, beyond that fact, to not put the vendor back for some time.

Gonna be great for word of mouth.

GL with that.

Really?? that's the MAIN way of communicating with the playerbase? What a failed communication method, since it is a GIVEN that the vast majority of players dont use the site/forums.

Exactly.

>Spam in game messages about plague event every 2 mins on fleet for a week.
>Make a forum post about vendor going away 3 days before it does.
>Forums are the main way of communicating.

Oh and the event had ended, the vendor gone, but of course you can still catch the plague and of course they are still selling the vaccine lol. Real consistent with an "End of Event" day.

From reading the people arguing against it. It's clear that they are the few people who hoarded a bunch of crystals and intend to sell them later and if the vendor comes back they might not sell for as much. That or they just want others to be as unhappy as they are. Not one decent arguement why the vendor shouldnt be brought back yet.
