Please bring vendor back. Or tell us this is useless junk that we're holding.

Great event. Wish it wasn't declared that the vendor was going away at the immediate end of the event. Should have been clarified at the start, or with a few days notice. A few hours before on the forums doesn't cut it.

I would like to know as well.

Rift for one. Everquest. Everquest II. ... pretty much any micro transaction game as well...

Best Buy puts a big sign in EVERY store saying that anything you buy in the stores earns you 10 points. Collect 100 points and get a free laptop. This points program is only good for a week. Then the night before the program ends, Best Buy puts an ad in the newspaper that the program is ending, and by the way, you need to use your points by the end of that night. Also those who got the free laptops are standing outside the store gloating, cheering and booing refusing to let the others try to talk to customer service; yelling, "LOL it was right in the paper, do some research!" -- taken from another post earlier, but is spot on.

You're absolutely right. The only blow back is from people who want top dollar for the crystals they plan on selling. BW has no obligation to bring the vendor back, but it would be a great gesture since there clearly was some misunderstandings about the event vs. event vendor end time. If they don't, I won't feel ripped off or anything. The current situation just leaves me with a bad taste.

Event to gain DNA samples ending is different than the vendor to turn them in disappearing. If it were obvious they were tied together, why did BW feel the need to clarify the vendor was going away a few hours before? Bringing the vendor back for people to spend their DNA samples would hurt no one. You can be mad all you want, but my request to BW is just that. Has nothing to do with you and you wanting your items to be as rare as possible. I did the event as well, and would like to turn in my samples. I had IRL engagements the past few days, and like most other MMOs, assumed I could turn in my samples when I got back today. Now that this precedent is set, we all know the vendors for events will go away when the event ends. This can be cited now. But for a first time thing, BW should temporarily put the vendor back in the game. edit: Also, BW, please understand that anyone arguing against this just wants a higher price for their green black crystals. Nothing more.

Do you have a lot of problems tab targeting in pvp? I've wanted to move movement solely to the mouse, but tab seems to be screwy sometimes.

Did you miss the part where it said "Update 4/23"? If you look close, that's where you'll see the vendor info.

Yes, to a degree. Some more than others. For instance, I have my Get Out of CC Free button tied to Shift + W.. That way, since I'm already going to want to be running, I just have to hit shift and the button where my finger already is. It's an instant.

It's all a matter of just getting used to. Figure out what rotations you need, and what circumstantial quick buttons you need, and gradually move to a system where you're only using the keyboard to get them. Start one ability at a time, don't go all in or you'll just end up frustrated and confused. Baby steps on to the elevator.

Agreed -- bring them back. Not everyone plays every day. Apparently when I was playing, I was wasting my time. Awesome.

Bring back vendor please.

The plague will never go away unless it's patched. People can just make an alt, get the plague and then log it off until they can't find anyone to blow up on them.

It's a fun game.

I disagree. Players have a vested interest in their MMO succeeding or not succeeding. Player population trends and outlooks play a huge roll in the player experience. It's not shocking to find players interested in financial numbers.

His sentence just needs to be reorientated.

There isn't a way to change legacy names.

See, now you're making it about the issue at hand instead of an over-generalization. Let's keep it this way. It's reasonable that the notice on the forums was enough of a warning. Granted, I'd have rather it been explained when the event end date was first announced, and not as an after thought the night before (vendor going away with event when you can gain DNA). The difference between you, and I, is that I also find it reasonable to consider the warning inadequate to the larger player base. Now that a precedent has been set, this event can be cited when dealing with a later event. The event vendor clearly leaves when the event to obtain event items ends. Do I deserve to vendor coming back for me to buy items? No. Should I expect it and be upset if it doesn't happen? No. I simply request it, and have posted my reasoning. BW can take it or leave it. They owe me nothing. I get that. In my opinion, the solution to this issue is to turn it into a learning experience for both player base and BW. Putting the vendor back in for a few days is what I'd like to see happen.

I don't know why a game shouldn't have consequences for a player's actions or inaction. I wouldn't defend something so silly.

>mfw this turns into a 1% vs the 99% argument.

I deserve my Obama money! Maybe lay off the Limbaugh for a week, what do ya say? Take a look at your life. This is a video game.

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON. I'm /thread'ing this right here.

I think some people are confusing the end date of "the event" to "when the vendor dissapears". Is it reasonable to assume they are one in the same? Yes. Is it reasonable to assume the vendor stay around after the event for those with IRL engagements? Yes. So let's all get on the same page here, and stop talking about two different things.
