Default Christmas event flooding the economy with matchless dragonwing mantles

So if you do the quest sub-46 you can swap our the other trash rewards for a matchless dragonwing mantle which previously costed ~50k and now today like 10 people are suddenly selling these, and the price is plummeting fast.

I feel sorry for the one guy who was trying to sell his before the event started. Poor dude.

Not to mention the rewards for the 46+ bracket.

A BiS caster bracer and a PoM cloak that takes like 40k plat to buy the cards to make, but priests get a crappy stat stick that's not even remotely close to as good as the other rewards.

It's already starting to look like Project Quarm in here with that 45 item unity vulak (phattest in history by far, 7 abashi's, 7 mrylokar's 7 tolan's, 7 palladius' axes, 7 staves of the silent star, 7 sprinklers of the spirits, 55 tacos 55 fries, 55 burgers, etc. One of each for each guild (which included a guild consisting of like 15 or 20 people, so they basically got an insane amount of BiS loot for free whereas every other guild's members had to dump a lifetime worth of dkp to get their items.)

The devs and GMs have never been this generous, but this is probably a bit too much don't you think? Can we put a full set of BiS gear for each class as the reward for next year's Christmas event?

Dont raid.
Remain sane.
No Abashi pain.

Complain No Raidz Lootz. Waaa.

Complain too much Raid Lootz. Waa.

No wonder devs *seem* to ignore this place 'till it suits them.

It's because the servers about to end, with any luck.

This event is really, really bad. The population of these servers fucking suck. People are lined up in ToFS camping mobs all god damned day on Christmas Eve.

I applaud the effort in making something fun and rewarding, Devs... but look at how it was received. Immediately scummed by the population.

WE CAN NOT HAVE NICE THINGS

You dont need to be sub 46. I went back on blue and did it with like five level 60s who had bracers rotting in their bank. I felt gross doing it. Why a near best in slot tradable shoulder? Makes no sense to me. At least make it heavy or peerless, not a sought after item

Its shoulders not even raid loot really. Im glad market is flooded, they are good. I
You would only be mad if you where trying to make plat and it ruined your plans. Suddenly you believe server sucks because you couldnt take advantage of it..
