If there were players/staff who were only there to make us spend more money I am %10,000 sure that Ari would have brought that up.
So lets not jump on every situation and think its something bad. In this case a ninja collector spent money.
I'm frustrated too guys, and this event is definitely strange considering that its way up in value right now... But the main things I want to see get fixed are for F2P. I'll just start posting this on all the threads, if they take strides to make F2P stronger, and better then it will help this community recover from all this drama and fatigue. We need to tailor events to F2P, and give them more opportunities to balance the power scale. (Btw, before anyone asks or assumes I'm a P2W)
