So we didn't get St. Paddy's day event this year. I guess it's ok if the mods are going to concentrate more on the easter event. Afterall last year they said that having the St. Paddy's and easter so close together was bit too big thing to handle. This of course builds up the expectations for the easter event but I'm sure they'll think of some thing fun. 3nodding

On other notes I've been surfing around the MP lately and the inflation on certain items seems to be just unbelievable. You can see the results in the GCD with angry topics and people complaining about the inflation. Also I think this is going to make the botting problem much worse. With these price rates more people are tempted to take the "easy way". Though they are just going to get them selves banned evetually, but the collateral damage inflicted this way is getting worse aswell.

Even though mods have said that you cannot be banned if some one buys from you in the MP with botted gold, you still hear about these kind of incidents happening more and more often. The situation is getting out of hand and I don't know how to stop it. Captcha codes are a good way to slow them off, but it won't stop the problem. Also admins are so under staffed that I think more and more innocent people will get the ban hammer more often in the recent year since they just don't have time to take the risk that the person really wasn't aware of where the gold came from. We are heading to some dark days.
