Sounds good! Excited to see the limited stuff in. Also excited to see the apparel tab in the MP cleared up.
Personally I appreciate the cycling, because otherwise I just straight up forget things exist. Now I can be like oh yeah! I wanted to buy those at some point, that's right! Especially when it's been sitting there for literally years and I've just glossed over it the whole time. Now I'm like oh, yeah, I DID want a couple lamps, that's right! And some blindfolds! Previously I just didn't have a reason to spend the money on them at any given time. Now I do!
Sorry people are throwing fits about this, staff! XD it is just too much when people get really upset over a browser video game.
(If someone responds to this just to yell at me over differing opinions I simply will not read the post <3)
Happy Wildclaw Times! I'm gonna go buy some lamps[emoji=sun size=1]

and now this is the second year in a row it’s been decided this should happen for ~cyber monday~ when, honestly, that is… basically the worst possible time for this to happen?
people are saving their in-game funds for notn, the most anticipated event of every year, and many others are strapped for cash irl due to holidays/general end of the year chaos. i guarantee you a majority of the gem purchases happening rn are due to pure panic or unhealthy impulse spending borne out of the fear of missing things. ESPECIALLY when very popular items are very suddenly getting ripped away from us with no warning apart from !!!!BUY NOW LIMITED TIME ONLY!!!!
[/quote]
Also, this, I couldn't put this into words better. This feels like a very deliberate choice to give playerbase a few days to spend the gems, and then announcing the cycling out.
[/quote]
and I both do and don't agree with this - yeah, it's definitely not the best time of year for this, but that is NOT the devs' being purposefully malicious or something???
are you going to say that any company that ever participates in black friday is evil for tempting people to spend at the same time or something? it's just a random day (or days, considering cuber monday) chosen by society for sales to happen and that's it
(the one thing that I think would be a good idea is giving more of a notice than a week for what items are going to be cycled out, but other than that I see nothing even remotely manipulative or whatever people are saying)

We've talked it over and agree that not knowing when items will return from cycle is not great for our game or our players.
We will be adding in a predictable May cycled item return for a week to go alongside the predictable Cyber Monday cycled item return and gem sale. When our items return should not be a mystery.
The update post has the next gem cycle information added to the bottom, which will be May 8-15th.

This is great! It'll mean less time between cycles for the prices to climb higher and higher on the AH too.
Thanks to the devs for considering feedback and making changes to benefit the community ^o^ This decision makes the added cycle items less of a blow, even if I still don't quite understand why they needed to be added to the cycle in the first place.

kunacottontail LOL understandable. I had the same thing happen right after I posted mine. The small victory is great, but I hope there's enough community discussion to start rolling back these decisions about removing item accessibility.
Glad there's a new sale cycle, still think its a rather questionable decision to pull popular apparel items from cycle yet again. That doesn't feel like "keeping things fresh". That just feels irritating. It would make more sense to cycle out things that aren't as popular instead of apparel items a large percentage of the user base uses even from a business stand point.
Edit: Phrased it a bit better.

oh wait omg I didn't notice that the silver sylvan items cycle in with the other retired items??? okay nevermind I'm no longer sad about the daredevil covers and stuff, I didn't realize that cycled out items cycled back in with all of the others haha (although that's kind of obvious now)
