Dear Three rings,
I feel as I am speaking for more than just my self in saying this. I will admit you have done a fantastic job with this game, but these featured auctions are getting to be somewhat dissappointing. For the past two months or so, i have seen nothing but Halos, Wings, Wolver tails, dapper combos, and auras on the Featured Auctions. When accessories first came out, i remember those as being unthinkably possible to find. But now, I see divine, volcanic, and prismatic halos/wings/tails/auras almost everytime i am in haven. My favorite featured auction you guys have ever made were the common and uncommon accessories in the rare colors. Because of the persistent featured auctions lately, a common accessory in a rare color is now more rare to see than any wings or halos or auras. As for the dapper combos, It would be nice if you could throw in some toupees to go along, because i have several friends who are searching for them. The constant "WTB volcanic toupee" or "Looking for Toupees, preferably prismatic, but dusky will do" in the chat is seriously starting to get annoying, and i cant imagine they are any less thrilled than i am. now i know that these auctions rack up a LOT of money, making the profit bigger for you, but it would be nice to have a featured auction once in a while for us, the players. Now I know it isnt looked up upon speaking freely like this, but I feel as if it is my Right, no, my Responsibility to share my opinion.
PS. I am loving the new content within the past few months, just not the featured auctions.
Sincerely,
Poopette <3
The Featured Auctions were made to be a crown sink.
Player sells CE for Crowns, lowers price of CE. He then spends those crowns on Featured Auctions, (potentially) millions of crowns disappear. Crowns must have some way to sink, not just be pumped into the game.
I may be wrong on this, but I believe the Featured Auction house rotates accessories randomly. At least, I think so. I don't believe Devs hand-pick accessories to go in there. At best, they pick a certain one, and stick with it for a few weeks, then switch, which could explain why there have been so many "Prismatic Halos" in there.
The likely reason you see many Featured Auction accessories on people, is because they look better. They're more expensive, but they look better than your average accessory. Therefore, people are much more willing to equip them, unlike (Making up numbers) probably 75% of people who open Lockboxes.
