As much as I don't like seeing promo items on the featured auctions, the only reasons against it (that I can think of) are selfish. From OOO's perspective there is little to no reason for not doing this (as long as they don't go overboard and add large amounts of one promo item to the featured auctions).

Also you have no idea what the community wants or likes, don't speak on their behalf.

give me groundbreaker armor/helm and steam mask on featured auctions.

Either its all sacred or none of it is.

Milkman spoke the words I was going to say. As long as OOO keeps it calm, I see no harm. Promo and rare items on the featured auctions are rare and are super-duper expensive. Whoever gets it will probably spend more than its original worth.

but not to everyone. Just as tersk doesn't speak for the whole community neither do you. I am a member of the community, and i feel like both promo items and groundbreaker gear were limited time only deals. But now they have set a precedent for re-releasing limited edition gear. Same thing with 1st gen rose regalia.

OOO has stated that they have the right and intention of putting anything on featured auctions that they think players might want. (paraphrasing).

--and i don't mean that as snarkey as it sounds. i like you milkman :)
--but again, either things are sacred or they are not. Just as people who didn't invest in promo items don't think there is anything wrong in them being re-introduced by a "third party" many of us who started the game a month late do not feel like there would be anything wrong with the reintroduction of those items via "3rd party"

Groundbreaker was not a deal of any kind. It was an award, a 'thank you', for those who helped beta tested the game. Nobody tested the game for the purpose of getting the groundbreaker set. Promotional items are purchased with (but not exclusively) with CE 'deals'.

Also I never spoke for the whole community. Don't put words in my mouth.

It is unfair to people who havent been around for the promos. I always thought it a little bit evil to keep promo items for a few months and wait for it to cost more. I know it is hard for people with 50 million ce, but OOO is just giving others a chance.
Also, you ASKED FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT. NOW YOU ARE COMPLAINING. Seerusly.

If they do it reasonably, I don't mind. Love Aura, Tails Tails, Metal Sonic, and PAX Bombheads are one thing, old Rose Regalia is a whole other thing.

You sound like me when I raged about an officer kicking me outta a guild. In other terms, you sound like a highly opinionated person. As for the sprinkle aura, well, too bad. Now there are two sprinkle auras that are unbound in the game, but both are probably already put on. So, no harm done. In theory, the sprinkle is STILL the only existing aura. If they give 1st gen regalia, now THAT would be bad. I would be unhappy if extremely old promos come to life again. These are recent, it isnt bad. But as I said before, they are trying to give other players a chance. And I have always thought hoarding limited time only accessories is a little unfair. Although I might as well talk to a wall. I can tell that you are highly opinionated about this, and nothing will ever change your mind.

i don't want GB armor unless i can get a steam mask with it XD

But really, there are enough items on the game that I consider it too soon and bad form to redo promos, limited editions items, and 1 time only items into the featured auctions.

But i will say its nice that they are finally putting up some of the rare-accessories that have been so lacking over the months (but of course, they just gave out a billion of 90% of the limited items that they have been recycling). Main point is, there are soo many rare and wonderful accessories that the COMMUNITY AT LARGE would love to see more of in the game, that it seems to soon to be re-releasing promo items that are not very old.

Either way, i'm happy for the new goods in Featured Auction house. The re-released stuff is a little irksome but not a big deal, those items will still appreciate in value as time goes on. As these items are never going to be more common then they were at the time of release.

As a whole, its fairly obvious. The community at large wants promo items released in featured auctions. I'll bet they'd prefer 1st gen rose regalia re-released there as well. It becomes a matter of haves-vs-havenots. The haves will obviously favor rarity. The have nots will obviously not favor rarity. The have nots will always greatly outnumber the haves. Thus the majority of the players on the game will always favor a chance to hopefully gain an item for cheaper (altho thats a bit of a fallacy. Nearly anytime there is an item in the featured Auctions, if its available in game by collectors, it will be cheaper from a "merchant" as featured auctions always seem to be the highest selling items on the game.) Or at the very least, they will favor any opportunity that allows them to easily attempt to acquire an item.

Its neither right nor wrong on either side of the coin. Just like any employer would like to add more responsibility onto the employee (within reason) for the same salary, any employee would prefer more (much more) money for doing the exact same job. Both have a fundamentally vested interest in their own position, and neither is wrong. Its just the natural laws of human interaction. Usually a happy medium, a just balance, is reached.

The problem with situations in fictional worlds, such as SK, is that the balance isn't reached, its dictated. In the end tho, its still spiral knights, and none of it is important to anything bearing real world consequences. Nobody's life is greatly harmed by the release of any item in Featured actions--tho there SK experience might be greatly affected. And nobody's life is greatly harmed by any item not being introduced into the game via whatever means. The long and short of it is: its just a game; to be consumed for fun; and has no bearing on our real lives.

tl;dr
Its a game. Play it. Have fun. Champion your own cause, but be empathetic towards your fellow knights.

It's obvious most of the persons here have not been in either of these situations:
A. You bought a, let's say, Sprinkle Aura to resell. BAM featured auction, one of your potential clients is lost, value is lowered. You have to wait more.

^

Just a merchant point-of-view:

You buy an item not knowing its value if you will be able to break-even or make any sort of profit. You might hope to make 200%+ profit, but end of the day its not set in stone. Featured Auction brings up a new Sprinkle Aura (Lets say it goes for 4mil), well now as a seller you can sell this item for 4mil Crowns easily.

B. You bought a Sprinkle Aura right before a FA for way more than it ended for. BAM quit. True story.

^
Well it sucks that you over-paid for an item, but end of the day you clicked that trade button. Only true reason to be upset is if Three Rings put up 100 Sprinkle Auras.

Btw: Sprinkle Aura isn't worth more than 35k Ce (I said that well-before the featured auctions). My pricing is based on desire for an item.

C. You wanted a Sprinkle Aura but missed the FA. Now nobody is willing to sell theirs until price goes up. BAM you both have to wait.

^

If you wanted a sprinkle aura and you missed the FA and Promo Event <---- you just have bad timing, or you can buy or create 80k Ce and try to buy one for that much I am sure you will find a seller (If anyone has an unbound sprinkle aura).

+1

FINALLY someone said something. So much for a "limited" time promotion if your putting them up on AH in a few weeks. Love Aura's have been on AH for months now too. And lets not forget Volcanic Dragon and Valk Wings were added back in the last promo making their prices drop. (Think about those who bought one just before the promo or the ones who stacked up on them!)

Just insert the word 'Vintage' in the name of pre-existing promo stuff.

OOO has chosen their path. They cannot and should not make some promotional items "special" while freely devaluing other items just so that they can fix the economy for a weekend.

This includes groundbreaker and all rose regalia... If they are willing to kill the value of Valkyrie wings, then why shouldn't they be willing to kill the value, sentimental or otherwise of rose regalia and ground breaker? The argument that ground breaker is "untradable" and holds "significance" to beta players falls short in the exact way that re-releasing other promotional items falls short in. If one item is re-released, then all should have the potential for such. Similarly, the original rose regalia is worth a retardedly high amount of money right now. If OOO is willing to sacrifice the value of other items, why not rose regalia?

Of course, I would absolutely love for OOO to come in and, after re-releasing ground breaker+original rose regalia, put a tag of "limited" on items or so. This tag would be an absolute promise that OOO would not re-release the item in question. It would allow them to take back their ruling, and to agree with players like Tersakoff. It would help their game in the long run, and would not come at that much of a cost. But as it is, it is impossible for them to truly say that any one item is special, and no exceptions should be made.

+1 -1, I don't really think it's that bad but then again it they did say it's limited time only...

Tersakaff dismissing people's views as "not being merchants" is totally missing the point and rude. I'm not gonna let you hide behind this. I do trade in accessories I just wouldn't mind if they are more widely available as I feel it's better for the game and OOO's vision. You're very clearly not open to the other side of the debate when you dismiss it as ignorance.

You want accesories? You should have bought them when they were cheap.
You want them now? Your problem pay the price. You should have think before.
Oh you are so jealous that smart people can make money on them and now you just want them to be ruined and you pwease OOO to release those things again? Way to go.

Why does nobody care for the poor Spiral Bombhead?!
