I mean there were almost 4000 people technically partaking in the event, top 12 seems extremely harsh to me. You could've made it top 50 or so and still have kept the shiny legend voucher be a rare prize.
This limited a top tier doesn't feel like something to work hard for, it honestly just feels hopeless. --------------------   |

QUOTE(Cajun @ Mar 1 2016, 01:53 PM)  Yea, had 5 specific summons and turned in all my Prize Points for 48 Enigmas. Been pretty nonexistant here and figured might as well make it official and get this stuff into the hands that want it. And it took over an hour but they have all been claimed. All the stuff in the backroom was gone in an instant, but there's still a few cool things floating through the Shelter~ Oh well, I guess my Giratina and Dialga snipe from you only. Well, if any hatches shiny I'll name it after you.  Well, even though, I don't know you too well, I'll miss your presence. Thank you for being a wonderful person.

I didn't particularly feel like going through all those pages to figure out where the "decent" threshold started so I just went with the technical number of participants.
I guess it's pointless to discuss it but I'm just feeling extremely disappointed right now. I'm just very much hoping that if this sort of event runs again, the price tiers will be a bit more lenient. -------------------- |

Oh shoot, I totally missed Cajun's drop. Sad to see you go, though!
I was so happy to get DNA Splicers from my Scratch Cards, and then there suddenly pop up Shears. I'm like wtf are they for? Turns out a new novelty  although naked Mareep looks a bit sad xDNow I want to shiny hunt it ... For the coin prices I stopped at about a 1000 and was exactly in the spot I hoped to be, as in, to get the maximum amount of Scratch Cards ( I looooooooove Scratch Cards. Such a neat idea. And the artwork on the new ones is great). Edit, because I just saw it now: QUOTE(xhig @ Mar 1 2016, 07:01 AM) EDIT--Forgot to mention this. Does anybody know songs with parenthetical remarks in the title? I have some down, like Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead and Snow ((Hey Oh)) by Red Hot Chili Peppers, but any others would be greatly appreciated. It's for trivia tonight. There's a round on it. Fallout Boy came to my mind, they have a few songs that match the criteria: I’m Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You) from the album Infinity on High The (After) Life of the Party also from Infinity on High The (Shipped) Gold Standard from the album Folie ŕ Deux My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up) from the album Save Rock and Roll This post has been edited by Cherubi Problematique: Mar 1 2016, 03:56 AM --------------------   |

I'm really disappointed, I ended the event with 823 coins and didn't even get the voucher that I was working so hard for
 . I don't think I'll try next time but the event was entertaining at least....

Guys, I'm gonna just quickly intervene here to remind everyone:
QUOTE(Jen @ Feb 28 2016, 04:50 PM) [*]Do not post your GPX+ gear grinders in this thread either. There's also a thread for that. This is mostly for raging at staff or site events that you don't like. I understand some of you are upset. This is not the thread for this. Secondly, I want everyone to keep in mind: The Staff does not have to give out the prizes they do. The fact that they are is incredibly kind of them; complaining about it will make them consider not to run future events like this or cut out those 'top tier' prizes altogether. So, if you didn't get what you wanted this time? My advice: Take the loss humbly and vow to do better next time rather then make a point to never allow yourself to give it a shot ever again. -------------------- Follow Shay-Shay's flight and he will bring you to a place where eggs and Pokemon need much love. Shaymin cares, do you?  |

I was going to shut up about the whole coin event now but I have to respectfully disagree with you there. I give a ton of respect to staff for taking the time to run the site at all, let alone do events. But that doesn't mean people should only ever be allowed to sing their praises. If something on the site is frustrating to a lot of people, staff should know! It's their choice if they want to change or repeat these sorts of events and I'll respect whatever choice they make. |

Fantastic, I've been waiting for this ever since I accidentally made two Mega Charizards X :v Hopefully I get some. But I have all 15 scratch cards, so I feel pretty confident.

Jade is right, please take any complaints to the gear grinder thread. Not because I or other users don't care, but because the negativity can really turn people off from wanting to join in on any conversation here. Thanks!
Cajun, I didn't realize that you were leaving! Sorry to see you go, I've seen you around the forums for years. Hope everything is alright! Cherubi Problematique - Yeeessss. Another Fall Out Boy fan! <3 --------------------  |

I think I got one of Cajun's Enigma summons earlier, I should name it after him(?) too.
 Congrats to the people who caught the shinies. It's always sad to see people leave. See you, space cowboy. |

To all the people dissatisfied with the prizes,
I understand your feelings. Coming so close and not winning anything is dissatisfying but then again it's part and parcel of the game. Someone will win, someone will lose. For the suggestion of #50 getting the shiny LVP, then you'll have a whole lot of people in the range #50-60 who'll complain about how unfair it was to them, the staff should think about them also etc. etc. This is life, get with it. The only way to solve this is to give everyone Shiny LVP and that will totally break the spirit of the game. There will be no fun, no competition, nothing. Just enjoy what you received - your voucher, your shinies, your experience, the fun you had during this time etc. P.S.: I am armored up for all the hate comments. Bring it on!

And I can do explorations because exploration mon won't get in the way, and.... I CAN DO THINGS YAY I had enough coins for the shiny voucher, so now I have two of them. Still not sure whether I should use them on Unown or Ditto. Sorry to see you go Cajun

I did hatch a lot of coins anticipating for a Shiny LVP, but I was still happy when I got an ordinary Shiny Voucher. It may seem a bit disappointing that some of us didn't get the grand prize, but hey, at least some of us got Shiny or Legendary Vouchers and scratch cards. So better something than nothing, right?
While I am on that topic, for those of you that got a Shiny Voucher of some sort, what Pokemon did you redeem it for (or plan on redeeming)? I decided on getting a Shiny Rhyhorn so I can get a Shiny Pinkan Rhyhorn. Last time, I did the same for Gible and made that an Ekralyp.

If the latter, then yeah, there is always a chance you might not get a full scratch card.

Why is it always snowing when I really need/want to hatch something? I'm on an exploration and have a ton of twinkies to make high maturity eggs. xD
Also got Shears. And an egg. Now hatch. *pokes* -------------------- |
