the problem is that now after you nerfed low lvl instances people have to pay real cash to reset the lvl 60+ steel rake in order to even try to do the event effectevly and even if u do spend money and run steel rake like a mad man you might get wrong wings for your class and like admins said they refuse to switch physical wings for magic wings for people so , was a greedy move on admins part to go from a free to play event everyone was doing to a pay2win event that only a few cash wales are spamming now and thats why alot of people left not becouse of wings or particular iteam but becouse of the move to got from free event to a paid one.
and dont say u can run steel rake 1 time for free. like lol out of 3 steel rake runs u lucky if u get 2 or 3 picks and took me over 400 picks to get wings and even then got the wrong ones... and admins wont exchange for right ones just have to keep gambling....
so yea alot of people left we struggle to even fill bastion allaince yestarday and almost zero people attended siege so not sure where this is going but clearly was a bad call and you mentioned oh but economy, is very clear economy is not you priority last event people stacked bilions and bilions in tempering stones and nobody said nothing and economy didnt die either yea tempering solutions droped in price but after event ended went right back up so whats the problem whith this one? gold godstones and lvl 130 enchants are like 30 to 50 % cheaper? so what after event ends going back to normal...
you know something thats not going back to normal the player base....
