Before the featured
/sigh
Before the featured auctions everyone complained about not being able to get those accessories. Now that there is a way people STILL complain.

If I could have my two crowns I'd put any of the following up:
Scarves
Parrying Blades
Toupees (Regular and not just volcanic divine etc.)
Wolver Tails (Regular)
Wings (Regular)
But please. Twilight Auras aren't rare anymore; my Volcanic Scarf is rarer than those bearing fireflies. Wolver Tails can be seen one-a-haven. Cardboard wings, the rare ones, are popping up almost two a week. Seriously, I'd like some variety, like that one time there was one of each kind of accessory, in each of the three rare colors.

Ok to be fair
Many people still want the items that OOO mindlessly loops. Why not just put up some variety IN ADDITION to the regular stuff the endlessly loop. The endlessly looped items will go cheaper then ever, as the richest players buy up all the ULTRA RARE "COMMON" items. Ugh.
I used excitedly check the new featured AH's every time. I looked forward to them. Now, i rarely check. And EVERYTIME i do, it's just more of last weeks news.
@Xair, that was awesome!!

Thanks, Pawn. But yes, I wouldn't mind getting the same looped auctions provided that we get our fair share of items. I swear to the snipe god on high that if OOO releases a Volcanic Parrying Blade, it's gonna be shutupandtakemycreditcard.jpeg, heresmysocialsecuritynumber.gif, and whatever the crap I have to do to GET! THAT! BLADE!
But nope. I'm sittin' here... twiddlin' my fingers... and wondering when the heck I'll ever finish my stupid costume.
EDIT: To make a pun on the old adage, "The sun never sets on the British Empire"
"There is never a minute in Spiral Knights without someone online wearing a Wolver Tail, Cardboard Wings, Halo, or Twilight Aura."

Not sure if you guys are serious ._.
Personally, I look forward to the day that I either (a) man up and buy some CE with real money or (b) luck out with a craft, either of which would lead to spending on featured auction stuffs :s

Addendum, cause I was probably too harsh:
I kinda see these high-level, non-lockbox accessories as a sort of post-endgame, or "end-endgame". As people reach "end-endgame", shouldn't they have access to them too?

I've wanted that halo for so
I've wanted that halo for so long to complete my costume, and I'm (slowly) raising money ;~; (pssst, Im selling my heart and soul in form of pretty artings at here.) I sure hope they will keep putting those up, along with more variety of course, but Id be sad if they stopped putting up those prism halos before I could get my hands on one.

I don't know what you're talking about.
I hardly ever see wolver tails, especially the fancy ones.

Hi
@Nottheanswer & @Tersakaff,
Hi guys. I realized my initial complaint of stop putting up the same 7 items on a loop was completely wrong. Everyone (lots of people) want them and still can't afford them and they should definitely have availability to them That's why i'm so frustrated blizzard doesn't do a win-win for the whole community. Keep putting those same items up forever. But ALSO start sprinkle in prism/divine/volcanic mohawks, parry blades, side blades, bandoliers, goggles, mech a wings/tennas, scarves, plumes, ribbons. Add in normal wings of color and tails of all color.
If they continued to loop the now halos, 'rare' wings, auras, and rare tails and AT THE SAME TIME (yelling at the featured AH, not you guys) started cycling some of the above items, what would happen is that all the end/post-endgame players would devour the new items and lay off of buying a 2nd prism halo, or a prism wings for a guildmate, etc. So if they gave us post-endgame-accessory-endgame players the 'rare' common items (scarves, blades, com units, etc), then those without the Prism/volc/divine/-wing/tail/halo would see a sudden price drop in those. OOO would actually end up with a bigger crown sink.
In the end, i complain about the loop of items only cause it seems such a boring way to use the featured AH house. I honestly believe a dev never looks at the featured AH, they just have a script running that slaps those same items up endlessly. Are they really even 'featured', if they are always on there? But, don't take them off, people still want them. Just add some other stuff for other people who don't want them, already have them, etc.

@Pawn: I think I now understand your point of view a bit better, and appreciate you taking the time to consider mine.
I also agree that the featured items seem to be managed by a script; for example, the large number of Love Puppy Masks a little while ago (reflecting Valentine's Day), and the current stack of Trojans/Love Puppies before the prior stack is gone.
I doubt that OOO can answer that question directly, but it would be interesting to find out...
angling for sum prism wings here.
