Hi folks,
Firstly, I’d like to convey my thanks towards all of you for taking the time to check the event out and provide your feedback here.
I’m going to be the first to admit that we were quite off the mark with this one. It’s been a valuable lesson for me, personally, being only the second event that I’ve worked on in my new capacity as a designer. There’s a lot that I’ve taken away from the feedback over the last couple of weeks and while I haven’t been active here until this point, I have been reading and considering.
While it’s always exciting and tempting to try and reinvent the wheel or even just add something new, it’s easy to also get blinkered and develop a degree of tunnel vision when exploring novel ideas.
In this case, while I tried to preserve the markets for the rarer things available via the Surprise Gifts, I underestimated the overall volatility of the tables. For that, I want to offer my sincere apologies.
Again, thanks for taking the time to let us know you care.
