    I don't think anyone knows, and I doubt the GMs will tell us...

    But yeah, the sale ends on the 29th. Who knows if they'll still be in the Boutique at a higher price afterwards, though.

    They'll probably just put Rank 8 gear in the Boutique next time. Saves people having to spam open Badges/Chips/etc.

    I give you a personal guarantee that this sale (just like every other successful sale) will be back at some point in the future.

    My guess is that this sale will be back in February in time for the expansion.

    ^ This, probably. I know I got a hammer a long time ago, when Katz was 50. Aaaaah, ignorance. ._. It wasn't on sale then, either. T_T

    I think you mean indefinitely. It's very different from permanently.

    And make sure that sale will never come back due to the mass complaints you seen on the forums.....


    So please don't do that again.. b:beg


    Also the change in the TW funds to fix gold price didn't work since the gold is 1+ mill due to perma-packs, the multiple sales, and the Rank 8 sale.... b:surrender

    Nothing what brings money will be removed from boutique. If yes, then just for short time. Same as packs. And then finally it became permanent. This game depends on it.

    It's called a "free to play MMO."

    They all go through this; some just die from it.

    Also, indefinitely= "until it no longer turns a major profit to us" for the most part.

    I agree with this, but it would be a smarter move to try to keep a game good for continuous profit for the company but this is PWI after all so, I'm sure if are going to anything after the bad rep they put on this game for a year. >_>

    To be fair people were really pissed at one point when Charm packs were "permanently" added to the cash shop only to be removed without notice. Nowadays the business model is to have a "limited" sale on an item that you repeat every few weeks.

    Anyone remember that System Broadcast:
    "Tiger Packs will be removed from the Boutique at 1:00 tonight, plan accordingly"
    How many times have tigers been brought back since then lol?

    Rep will be back.. Chips will be back.. those medals will be back. If not at the current price then cheaper.

    Yeah, I agree that you guys definitely have reason to believe that this will be the case, given prior events. I just wanted to let you know why my original answer couldn't be more informative.

    well, technically speaking it didnt say that they will be removed forever...
    tbh, removing them forever sounds unfair.
