Isn't it odd, we didn't have a sale announcement for this tuesday/wednesday? Ever since they synced the times of sale announcement to patching/server maintenance, i found it curious.

Disclaimer: Not asking what is on sale.

Speculation: I assume they do have something planned for new year, beyond the 1 ocean orb 1 demon/sage card promotion. 2x is ending as well, the zen bonus will end soon. Dragon fire packs and others items be removed soon. So was thinking maybe no super sale like last time they did packs for 22 gold.

It seems to turn out that there is only one good sale day the previous year, black friday. One time we get 11* and 12*, next time r9 was at 1/2 price. Let's see what next year's black friday has in store for us.

Previous good stuff we had. Packs 22 gold for 100 (next to 0 risk of opening packs). Orbs for 0.45 (super cheap refining). Marriage packs, manufacturing books 10 gold (people always marry their alts, i mean other characters b:chuckle)

Last time, sep~dec, gold price in 1.6~2m range. In feb it dropped down. I am hoping the same happens this time. Gold prices drop back down to the 1~1.2m mark.

Out of curiosity did anyone buy their gold at 400k or below price when there were 1k~500k gold orders on the buy side in the AH?

Let's hope we get something worth while this time. If nothing else, a dye sale be appreciated, got new fashion, have to dye it b:victory.

    Don't complain, together with a new sale coming the 2x exp/drop, snowmans and perfect quest master npc will be gone. So the longer they stay out of their keyboards the better for us. xD

    and our expectations of them are so low, that when stuff like this happens, we just shrug our shoulders and move on.

    Eh, because my expectations have been brought down so low I stopped putting money into the game. I use to drop a decent amount in for luxury type items (fash, mounts, etc) ... definitely more than a subscription ever would have cost but ... ultimately just a drop in the bucket compared to how much others toss into the game and not nearly as effective since I still am getting gold via the AH. I can't foresee in the near future putting cash into the game either. I think myself as well as many others are more here for friends/family/guildmates/etc though ... otherwise unfortunately I think the population would be far fewer b:shutup
