@Warren. I doubt this will clear things up as much as you wish for in your post, but this subject has come up in a wider context previously. Rares have been re-released a number of times previously, and aren't always welcomed. The simple rule that we have managed to work out: Unless the post specifically states "gone forever", the item is subject to return at staff discretion. The wording... quote:
These amazing Misc items will only available until June, so grab your gauntlets while you can! ...does not do this, so it was expected to return. Honestly, them returning pretty quickly makes sense. They were extremely popular token items where everyone wins. Players get a good item, staff benefit from token sales. Since they're attached to a canon MCU release (even that is conditional. They weren't released earlier this year with another MCU release), they retain a level of exclusivity and make themselves more attractive. So in respect to your wish for clarity on whether items are re-released, that's already been addressed (albeit in a slightly ambiguous fashion). I disagree with the "shady" term though, there was nothing said about these items leaving forever. What remains to be seen is how long they stick around for. I don't recall any standard for whether they become available at the same price. Black Friday is a little ambiguous to begin with, since the discounts have fluctuated over the years. Token items are regularly discounted, which some players pay full price for. The real question here is whether a rare item should get the same discount (or be available during that discounting season). I personally disagree with your point of view. I don't believe the playerbase is going to up-in-arms because a few token miscs were re-released and discounted. If anything, I know quite a few people that are extremely happy about the decision, as they missed their first appearance. Nonetheless, I think some clarity about how long they stick around for would be a good idea.
