Not everyone had resets because they bought them in advanced for this change. I dont even remember where i got mine from honestly, and was using them if needed. When i heard they were gona change to the new ones i figured i didnt have to use them all and could keep them around in case i needed them for whatever reason like ive been doing. If i had known they were gona be antiqued for 1c i would had spam cs and hm.
As for the oils, i craft them as i need them because of bag space, it took the same amount of mats to craft them before the patch, and after the patch, so no one was waiting to craft oils in hopes of getting more coz we knew we werent getting more, the only change was the demon spirit stone, before you needed 1, now you need 10 lesser ones, and we were told we would be able to atique 1 orb for 10 lesser orbs, so i didnt see the need on blowing all my mats that i needed for other upgrade on oils that i didnt need just yet.
My white orbs came from doing daily challenge and cs on several characters, ive never bought a single one, why should i lose them all anyway, specially when we were told we were not going to.
