World Event Merchant changes for 1.10.

[Kerilar]

Hello all! In order to give everyone adequate warning, I'm announcing today that the next phase of the World Event Merchant changes will be coming with 1.10.

The items that you purchase from the merchant from 1.4 and 1.5 will be removed as of 1.10 launch.

These currencies are:
Dragon Tears (1.4)
Magma Opals (1.5)

If you are still leveling your Tartagon or Raptor, you'll need to hustle, as of the launch of 1.10 they ability to level them further will end.


Again, as I stated prior to 1.9; These items are not being removed from the game and there will be other exciting avenues to acquire them, but they are going to be removed from the World Event Merchant.

Wait...you're removing the burning shards we can buy with planarite???
Well I guess my level 19 raptor egg is never going to be complete then...
The toon that is holding it will be unable to earn enough planarite due to level of the toon, or get enough through transferred vouchers from other toons, to complete the beastie.
Unless you're giving us a few month's warning, of course.

you posted basically the same thing in the 1.9 thread, please, read the posts before saying things like this

they are not removing any content, they are simply shifting the ways it is obtained

It's so that they can make it available again in 6 months, only we'd have to grind all over again

It's so they don't have to waste time making new items, and can just bring out the same stuff each year.

On a realistic note however... those that wanted to buy stuff with these items will have already done so. Rather than them sitting there being unused, they're being brought back around for players who didn't have the previous currencies to have a chance to aquire.

I complained about it in the previous thread, but really, it needs to happen otherwise stuff will sit around gathering dust.

And invalidating all the currency we've saved for so long - at least, that's my issue. There's a reason I've used precious bag space to save this currency. Now I need to spend it fairly arbitrary so it doesn't go to waste, making months of saving and organizing (think of it as banking plat for an alt, and pretending plat was hard to come by!) pretty well worthless.

Were you saving it so that you could spend it on the same junk that's been available for a year next year instead of now? The annual currencies are well defined, and the one time use currencies are everything else. Spend them while you can and next time spend them when you get them.

ok, im afraid i dont understand..

you can no longer spend the currencies youve been saving.. yes..

but at the same time, trion is making them available in other areas of the game, when you want them on an alt, simply find out where they drop/are obtained, and get them
