It's really annoying that fun little mini events/themes like this always devolve into users fighting over super trivial differences in opinion, or comments that are super snarky towards staff like they intentionally did this to slight specific groups of people.
Like it's totally cool if you're disappointed you didn't get whatever you wanted, just like idk man just wait? If they drop from rusted chests they'll be so numerous later you can pick one up no issue later if you can't buy one right now.

I agree with you OP. I also feel like I see so many people saying you shouldn’t complain because it’s a free item or whatever and I just wish it was fine for people to complain or be a little disappointed if they didn’t get what they wanted, especially when it’s not easy to just trade for what you do want like it might be other times.

But you can get all of the items in chests? Why would you have to trade if you can obtain the item in a chest?

Honestly, I feel you. I do see the lanyard being enjoyed which is great and they even were given some uses which are cool. Though, these uses don’t really work for me. I can’t see it that way either. I’m someone who likes to collect dragon figurines along with a few other things. So, I would had loved the plushie, even if I never use it. I even would enjoy the mascot a ton to have.
When you compare the Lanyard to the other items, I do see how people feel ripped off. The plushie and mascot has a very similar style to them, and the Lanyard is really odd at that point. I don’t think it’s about getting free stuff too simply. I didn’t like the Buttersnake, but comparing to Phoenix, it’s at least okay. The Lanyard? It fits the theme, but I can understand why people just didn’t like it.

I like the lanyard, it has so many uses from id badges to lumicon. And maybe try your luck opening some rusted chests if you'd rather pay a little less money for one of the others.
and besides, the mascot isn't that great... its kinda ugly. I wish it covered the face

I mean, it's really not fair that two items are so similiar and the third is so different.
During earlier pranks, the difference would be just between colors. I feel like adding different items just sucks. The invisibility cloak also had a different item didn't it?
The point of the bag used to be that people could pick their favorite color and pick the variant of the item that they were most likely to prefer. If the items are going to vary this greatly, then you should be able to tell the difference by the bag variation. Or just the item description, like "This bag seems to be pretty soft" vs "For Attendees". Just little hints for what type of item is going to be in the random bag.

You’re really complaining with your whole chest about free stuff? Next year the staff shouldn’t give us anything. Is that your solution?
[/quote]
Heaven forbid people feel any kinda way about something, sheesh.
Sure, fine. No one offered that "solution" but hey, if you're gonna jump there, why not.
If you're so upset that people are disappointed at getting the booby prize, maybe don't read the threads where they talk about how they feel?
[/quote]
I’m upset? Sorry, I didn’t realize my tone or inflection indicated that. I’m just baffled as to why people believe they’re entitled to expensive free stuff. If you can’t make it work, sell it. This is dragon capitalism, we’re going to have winners and losers and it’s going to suck for somebody. If you want to be upset instead of doing something about it, ok. Weird take.
[/quote]
Oh, sorry. Maybe the word I was looking for was “condescending.” When you sound condescending about people’s feelings, it comes off like you’re upset with them for expressing them at all.
Weird that you think we can’t “do something about it” while also commiserating with folks who also feel a little let down that we were the “losers” in dragon capitalism.

Yeah the lanyard is part of a set. It's not a "booby prize" lol. That's like putting on a new outfit and saying "lol I'm not gonna wear the matching necklace that's a joke item"
Guys it's a complete set. All parts of it are a part of the set,been the smallest part.

But it’s in chests? Like there is nothing stopping you from getting them. Like, why not wait a few months and get them at fodder prices anyway? Nothing is stopping you except yourself and your desire to complain about a set of items that were made for fun. If you don’t like it, sell what you got and use it buy what you want? There are solutions. It does nobody ANY good to complain when that’s how it is.

Honestly I don't really get the dissapointment. It's a con going SET. As in what do you see at conventions? Cosplay, merchandise and badges!
Complaining about the lanyard is like complaining about the smallest parts of all the other clothing sets that have been released. Are we gonna flip out over the earring parts of other sets? Should we complain about the ring parts of the silk sets cause it's smaller and not cloth and therefore garbage? So weird.
