Even if this is all true, its stupid and retarded to remove this stuff from us, WHILE same time u give us those dungeons as EVENT where we need to do those same dungeons for event reward. Thats what makes this situation extremely stupid and upsetting for us players. Ok, replace items, ok make us gather new ones so we dont abuse bunch of old items, but then put this event now as a next one, so we have a chance to gather this items for cs/mandate and so we can do our event properly. As for Cyan i totally agree, he is just a puppet messenger, nothing to blame him for. But fact they ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ed us up, and fact that after this patch u cant even do anything except afk, is true. So however u turn it, they did bad thing after all. Like i said and ill say again, it wouldnt be problem if this event now, was the next one, and if in this event we didnt have cs/mandate to do, but since we have to do them for event, its basically a scam what they did to us. Like giving a candy to a kid, but he cant open it cause candy is in steel case or something.
Also, even if all this above was something "fine", there is another thing called crafting sacred oils, which also became impossible.
For oils, u cant say that they should remove old stuff and let us farm new one, because oils are needed every day, in big quantities for alot of stuff.
And thats fking stupid because there are people who have 50-100-200 crafted oils already, while some new guy has no chance of getting them now except full p2w if he needs 10-20 oils quickly.
