The main focus of this week is the new permanent (I think?) features, which is cool and interesting.
Making the great plates event a full week this time is great, however, is it really that much trouble to let players hit the first level of rewards for free? Or, at least, allow the keys to be purchasable with coupons (as I recall, the keys were only available for purchase with ingots last time)? Without spending ingots, players will end up only 10 points away from the bottom tier reward. Getting that close and not being able to reach it is super frustrating.
As a side note, still hoping for mood scrolls to come back to the group's lucky wheel. :D
