After the collecting period of the Easter event;
we had like 2 days and then the eggs disappeared?!

(edit) correction bc i was on, on the 16th. if you didn't spend the eggs by the 15th it was all a waste.

For an event that you actually had to leave what you were doing to run around and gather something. instead of right into your currency pouch. and then if you dont spend in 1-2 days. all your hard work is gone; this feels unfair.

Especially for other events you get a week or two to spend your currency from an event. This is often. and those were times where the thing went directly to currency pouch!

i think that you should put a standard. if its 1 week or 2 weeks to spend materials then for one where your'e physically collecting every single thing the spend time for send currency should be at least 2 weeks.

Just thought this should be addressed. i know i personally lost 26k eggs! and i know others that lost 2 or 4k. i love this game, but i work hard, have a family and work too. so frustrating when hard work feels wasted.

All I'm trying to do: is to improve the game.
I'm throwing an idea out there. A question of sorts?

and a possible solution

thanks for reading.

discussion of Easter egg hunt work/spend time and event specifications and expectations. Hoping for improvements to be made. thanks

I wonder how many others were hurt by this xp/item betrayal?
Thoughts?

I also lost over 10k of eggs as I hadn't redeemed any that I collected.
After the master crafting event I received a message upon logging in telling me how long I had to exchange/redeem the master crafting patches. I expected a similar message for the pilfered easter eggs (perhaps I missed it but if there was a message it was not so obvious). Instead I logged in to find they had just vanished with no warning.
I can't see any mention of the expiry of pilfered eggs in any recent news articles either.

I agree that this is very unfair as I have effectively wasted time collecting eggs for no reason!

Edit: I don't understand why the easter bunny & Caelyn are still at the event spot in game if we can't exchange for rewards? You can only examine the characters.

You have plenty of notice to redeem them. You check when the event will be finishing and make sure you redeem them before that time - simple! If you know you may not be in before that time, make sure you redeem them before logging out, redeem them regularly then situations like this won't happen and you wouldn't have lost out as much as you did.

We are very lucky to have the extra days to redeem them, just don't rely on this, use your common sense and redeem them before the event finishes then you won't get into these situations.

If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!
