Regarding Refinement Aid and Charms in the Event Gold Shop

If he released a date, people would count on it. If it didn't pan out, they'd be reasonably upset they'd been misled. There is nothing unclear about that. It is deliberately not stated, and the why is given. It may not be the answer you want to hear, but at this point there is no exact eta, so prepare accordingly.
I don't see why that's hard to understand. I don't know why you insist on him making a promise he may not be able to keep atm. That's pointless. I'd rather they be honest and be like "IDK and I don't want to mislead you," instead of saying it'll happen on May 24th and then I count on that, and a week later it isn't there. Get some charms now while you can and wait it out is the best advice anyone give you at the moment.
And saying you're not saying it will be a 7 month time frame, while constantly referencing the DQ situation atm is disingenuous. You know exactly what kind of picture you're painting by doing that. These are different situations. One involves creating a new system from scratch that will work well with software that still isn't fully out of beta and will be sustainable in the future. The other is simply adding an item to a boutique. The complexity of the tasks are very different. I'd be very surprised if this took as long as that has been taking. Although I will agree it has been taking way too long and we should've at least been given more information about it. That's getting ridiculous.
That doesn't change the fact that this is a totally different type of situation, as it's just adding an item to the boutique. Especially since the temporary fix for this came very quickly, and on this particular issue the track record is a good one.
You're not likely to get an end date before Tuesday at any rate, as Monday is a holiday and it's the weekend now.0 -

this is my entire point, multiple people in this thread have assumed he meant we will get them perma on the 30th/31st, sparkie's language was ambiguous enough( i.e not "clear info") where some people have understood it as such. they may not be prepared for the likely few days/week or two that it will take and theyll qq or be burned by it
example from page 11:
This clearly implies the 'next build' will arrive on the 31st of May
wouldnt it have been gentlemanly to clearly state it may not be immediate and to plan accordingly (i.e. bank/stash some charms)- you stated this (good job) he did not
for these very reasons im betting if the change with temp/perma is not at the same time there will be a multitude of QQ threads to lock for the mods...many of which could have been prevented if sparkie made a much more clear statement0 -
Needs to be said. Sparkie, mods, whoever got the event boutique charm mishap sorted: Thank you!
Expensive gold charms are icing on the cake - I doubt they'll be very popular since you can get 5 silver charms for the price of one gold one in the event boutique, but as long as we got the silver charms, us small guys who rely on the event boutique for charms like that will be happy. Big thumbs up from my end.
I also like that Earthguard and Tideborn faster fliers were added into the mix. Those were missing for a long time.I'm so P.R.O... I Press Respawn Often.

A slight question, will the fashion and fliers also be removed what about the dyes from the event boutique? I know long ago when the event boutique was first out we had event dyes but they were removed. So will these be removed as well again or no? The fashion is great and I love it but is it going to be perm? I heard they used china's template for ours so I don't know if we are keeping the fashion,the fliers, dyes, and gold charms a lil info on this part would be nice thanks. As for the quick fix thanks sparkie!

Can we get the DQ reward stystem back with new/better items in it to pick from please. That stystem was great it just needed new items added to it and some removed. It would be Awesome if we could get that back.0

It's funny that to remove the Event Charms it isn't necessary to have maintenance but to put them back it is.... and with this i say everything b:chuckle0

This content has been removed.

In fact, they were removed during a maint, and were returned without one, the very opposite of what you just said.
Changes to the boutique don't need to be done during maint for the most part, sometimes they are done at the same time for the sake of convenience. This has always been the case.
b:bye
thats exactly his point- the sarcastic laughing bear at the end...,i.e. hes saying wtf arent they added back already
and didnt you say its clearly implied theyll be back perma the 30/31st, when i said hey now "weasel words"; its quite a good chance it wont be?0 -
so we had a maint. where are the event gold charms? maybe a GM can point them out to me because i dont seem to see them anywhere.
really disappointed that i spent gold to get event gold and then get denied the ONLY thing i use from event gold. false advertising? or just typical of PWE0 -

What's even more funny is i very clearly recall a moderator stating that they dont need a patch or maint. to change what is in the boutique at all that they can just do it on whim. So much for that theory.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

obviously the sarcasm was lost on you. play PWE long enough and you will start to understand. they do not need a "build" to fix this issue. maybe they didnt meet their quota on charm sales so this is their way to boost it. who knows anymore.
the point was they promised it would be fixed and it wasnt. did you know some things have been promised to be fixed for over 5 years?? super easy things that would take a few seconds but either they do not care or they are that lazy. all we get is "China did it to you, dont blame us".0 -

I did read but when is the new build coming?
as it was stated really clear before
there was no need for maintenance (not to mention a f'ing new build) to take out the charms, why do they even need a f'ing new build (not maintenence) to bring it back
And to be honest nobody of the players know when this f'ing new build will come
btw how much does PWI pay you0 -

So are the refine stones gone forever from event gold? b:cry[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

it seems they are gone indefinitely alltogether with the charms, since no f'ing person knows when they will fix it
and i cant imagine why they wouldnt put it back like they did when it first disappeared (notice the irony, since charmsale of course) b:chuckle0 -
The refine aids are there. It's just under a different tab now.(Insert fancy image here)0

The items have always been removed/added through a maintenance. The reason you see them pop-up at times when there is no maintenance, is because they were set to go up sometime during that week, through the maintenance prior. So in other words, yes we need a maintenance to add/remove them.
From what I've been told, they were removed to help with the in-game economy and that they will be put back in once that is more stable. I've already made my PM aware, so when he gives me more information, I'll let you all know.0 -

For the first time in a long while, I don't think I can find a reaction image to express exactly how I feel about this statement. This will have to do.
How, just.....HOW does removing Event Charms "help" the already severely inflated economy? What do they deem to have made things so much more "unstable" that they ought to specifically remove those? What changed to warrant this? All we've been told about this is that things will be brought back to order when things are more "stable" (a.k.a: "Soon") but there are no specifics behind such a decision so long after its been made?
IF they wanted to "help" with the in-game economy, there is a far more pressing issue to address than just **** over players from earn-able, untradable second-rate charms![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Remember: OP may be a duck|OP/GMs/Devs may not deliver|Search function is your friend|Lurk more|Be wary of Mods: they can't be trusted|This place isn't a hugbox|Your tears sustain me|Know what Bait is|"Soon" may never come|Postcount, Dubs, and other GETs are important|Don't revive long dead threads|There is a section for everything|You can be banned for anything|No Fun Allowed outside of OT|Sweetiebot rules OT|"Circlejerks" are inevitable|Threads can be derailed and saved|Those who use"XD" should off themselves at their earliest convenience|0
