So it just occurred to me that since we have this event going around, and quite a few event items are bound, why not throw some things on the auction house's featured auctions?
For example, we could have 3* and 4* (maybe even occasionally a 5*) kat hoods and armors up for sale. We could have several (10 max at a time) kat tribe fetishes up as well with bid only options. Similarly, we could have a book of dark rituals every 2 days of the event (i.e., very long auction time), and have several (4 max at a time) wicked whiskers up as well. What this does is ensure that we have X amounts of books in the economy per event, that more armors are created, and generally not make the event feel so hopeless.
This will also act as a crown sink for those who do not wish to farm black kats.
Your right. I don't really want to farm black kats, so it's a good thing for me. Though i'm broke.
