RIP Minion Collectors :(

And pvp players are supposed to be the ones with the garbage attitudes, apparently.

Lol, you don't realize how it feels for us collectors, but like what I said earlier it made me realize it's not worth it to collect anymore. This was an eye opener for me and I guess for some as well. I'm glad SE did made revisions but it will never change my mind, I'll use my money on other things rather than digital items. So again TY SE for the eye opener.

Well this current change feels pretty bad for me as an earring collector.. I have all the earrings in the game up to this point but now that it's literally impossible to get them all (I won't even bother trying to get to top in feast, literally impossible) I won't be ever spending a dime on an SE product. Thanks Obama.

While I understand that this is most likely meant to be satirical, it bears mentioning that Minions, when they were first added to the game, had NO PURPOSE other than to be collectable. That's what they were for! And people DID collect them, and some were religious enough about it that they managed to collect ALL of them. And unlike mounts, if you were in ARR from the start it was possible to collect them all. By making some minions exclusive and limited Feast rewards, SE broke that. While, theoretically, SOME of the hardcore collectors could still do well enough in Feast to keep their collection complete, the majority of them could not.

Earrings were not originally intended to be collectable; they were equipment that you wore to boost your stats, and until the Glamour system was added to the game, even earrings that were clearly meant to be shown off (like the Bomb earring) had stats on them. While it's theoretically possible that a player might collect earrings, certainly the pool of individuals who have a complete collection would be MUCH smaller than those who collect minions - particularly since, as with mounts, if you weren't around in 1.0 (and collecting earrings even back then), your collection would not be complete. There's simply no room to compare them to minions.

It was a mistake, SE acknowledged that it was a mistake, and they are taking steps to correct it. That's pretty much all that needs to be said at this point.

As long as the achievement will be sufficiently hard/time-consuming to get I'm mostly fine.

I just hope this won't be the fate for every awesome limited reward that someone wants and focuses their energy on wailing about it rather than actually getting it.
