I've only been playing about five months now, and I have to say some of the festivals are kind of a middle finger from SE to newer players. We're unable to get items in the game that older players could get in the past. Like cosmetics and minions. And for the Starlight Festival, we can't even get the crafting ingredient items anymore. I'm not even sure why they still have the recipes in the crafting log if we can't get the items to make them. Unless I am missing something. And please don't say "You can get the outfits on the marketboard." I know you can, but they are priced WAY too high. Or at least more than I am willing to pay for a cosmetic item. And the previous housing items are even worse. I don't see why SE had to take the items out of the game and force new players to get them in the store. I get they need to make money, but can't they do it without ruining festivals?
