    These type of sales should always be welcomed even if a person isn't going to take advantage of it this go around.

    I managed to buy all my doff 100 slots before leaving in the morning. This kind of sale time window is terrible for people in the united kingdom and GMT in general. I only managed to participate because my phone was on the news page when I woke up. 4pm is no good for those working during the day.

    12pm-8pm PT????

    8 hours!

    You really don't want people spending money on the store do you.

    Global game, no global flash sale period, my store boycott continues.

    I love the idea of flash sales... But it would be better if an email or notification in game letting you know of the sale taking place.
    I would presume sales would increase if players actually knew about them, rather than finding out after the sale has ended.

    After doing 24 hour Flash Sales, they revert to this. :(

    A notification system is an excellent idea. I'm surprised Cryptic doesn't do that somehow.

    Why do you keep swapping between the fair and unfair flash sales. Yet again there was no sale when I went to bed and by the time I have woken up and had breakfast its finished. For other peoples its while they are at work. Its like you do not want our money.

    No they should not always be welcomed. When the flash sales are done like this where some groups of the player base never see them and another group always gets them its completely unfair. This is a global game with flash sales set in a way that makes one group of players feel left out and like they are second class.

    The devs need to either make longer flash sales or change the start and finish time so its random. Why so one group of players get a large discount and the other group have to pay full price?

    What happened to that big fancy landing window they just stuck in the game???? That would be the ideal place to notify everyone. If there was a possibility that one would otherwise miss a flash sale....I wouldn't mind pausing for a glance, at least.

    Or is that landing window too difficult to update on the fly, too?
