    yup
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    A Blaze Cu is worth more.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    You can buy 20 totems like your post I replied to said.  They won't be wasted.  

    Oops ruined your argument...

    Why keep reminding them to turn that off?

    This absolutely does NOT ruin his argument. His post makes clear the purchase of 20 totems is to obtain one of these new mare hues. If they won't help him attempt to get what he explicitly stated the purchase is for, the purchase IS wasted.

    You are assuming they won't give us a small delay between the announce and the end of the spawn..

    Personally i'd assume they will give us MINIMUM 1 week delay between the announce and their disappearance

    But... what if we don't have any virtue and are purely vice?! Just anger! 

    Hoping this means they'll be around until Feb at least.

    Probably better safe than sorry? Assume that they're limited, and drop $$ on totems now. You may need more than $20 worth of totems, depending on what type of mare you're going for and what intensity.

    I understand your point, and actually agree with you, but I think the primary complaint here is more to due with the lack of solid information. With other events we're given a clear start and stop date, so if you are planning to spend real money to prepare, you have a clear time frame to plan around and budget. We are under the assumption this too is a limited time event, but due to the lack of clear information, it is not entirely possible to do the above mentioned. Since the period of this particular event seems to keep extending far beyond what anyone is expecting, I don't think it's entirely unfounded for people to be concerned about potentially spending more money when the event could just up and end without notice and the items they paid for no longer serving the purpose they were purchased for.

    Given the popularity of the totems themselves (I know a couple hundred were used on Chessy alone, so as far as I can tell, BS made bank off them), I also don't feel it's entirely unfounded for people to raise the concern that the devs may be being vague and unclear on the end date to further manipulate FOMO and totem sales. The frustrations many may be having are quite understandable in this instance.

    I'm not assuming anything about a small delay or not. There is no information on that.
