Betting everyone coming in here that I was going to complain about the $%@-up drop rate for Black PHATS ... nope. It is the inability for the programmers to think out the entire event from start to finish.

Anyway,

What are we supposed to do with the $%^#ing worthless Christmas Spirits we are going to have left over at the end of the event? I will be well over 100K of them with nothing left to purchase by the end.

The lack of consumable option for the spirit once you have everything else is definitely an issue and sadly not the only one. It's utterly worhtless to anyone who already has the previous year's cosmetics and doesn't need XP for the skills you get it from. They didn't even bother offering stars and lamps.

The logical consumable option would be wrapping paper to get more gifts but that would get in the way of their precious MTX and make the event less grindy.

Why does this event need more prizes?

There are already a lot of prizes on offer. If there was an unlimited supply of prizes, players would never leave the area because there is still the rest of the game to play.

Adding more prizes would also mean those who don't have the older prizes having to stay at the event for even longer.

Players wanted less grind. Adding more prizes will only increase the grind.

Well I will complain about the drops, I may even do it in every rant thread I can find just to see if anyone cares. There were only 2 worthwhile prizes in the whole event, the black phat and the purple Santa, as with halloween the drop rate is pathetic, Nobody wanted the phake phat emotes, they were just dumb and insulting, same with the phake Santa hat emotes, I was so mad when I got one I wanted to slap someone, the developer who thought that up should be fired, it was insulting to get the phake representation of the items that were really wanted, I don't use cosmetics or titles, so those were all junk. One would think after the last debacle, that they would try to please everyone who is still even playing and give out the good prizes. then today, after waiting all month, I get a worthless cosmetic helm of Noitsnot, No-its-not a black party hat or Santa, What a letdown!
If they wanted to destroy wealth drop the taxes and make rares less rare, I think most people were expecting the real prize in the big gift, I have yet to meet one person who was happy with that bad idea, that developer should be fired for such a bad joke.
The only fix I can see now is making Santa come out with an apology for wrecking the event and allowing us to trade in mulled wines, potatoes pudding and minced pies for the real prizes, maybe something like 5 k mulled wines for a purple Santa, and 10 k minced pies for a black party hat, minced pies are such garbage they wont even disassemble into junk.
Cmon jagex , some of us gave you real money for this, either credit me back half or gimme the goods. The customer is always right!

Nothing to carry over noob. Nothing to buy. Besides, only cosmetic junk in there anyway but still bought since nothing else to get.


next year there will be more things added.
