@anzelotte my apologies for replying to you, but this error in CCP judgement needs highlighting.
This was poorly thought out.
Given the Luminaire party hosts have publically stated they had collected 450,000 snowballs for their event…whoever designed this interface should have to click for the conversion to usable snowballs for the party, in penance for this debacle.
I have upon occasion criticized CCP for certain changes but I am aghast at this blunder.
CCP claims they want players to have “agency”…well this particular update belies that claim in a very public manner, during the holdays when good cheer should be paramount, and not a poor second lagging behind gambling gimmicks.
And as I understand it the Luminaire people will only receive 45,000 snowballs in return for their 450,000 snowballs. Another grinch move that needs to be mentioned publically.
CCP it is the holidays…good cheer and all that, bear that in mind for next year, assuming there is a next year.
The Luminaire event is something CCP should support, and not undercut in so meanly a manner.
Think people, think. It is not that hard given such events as the Luminaire party is an annual event, widely publicized and supported by many sections of the player base.
It boggles my mind this even happened at all.
It’s the holidays, CCP knows this. I can tell this by the big celebratory interface upon log in.
