Okay, so I clearly read the notes wrong--I was certain that although you were permanently ending recipes, we would have another week after the event ended to access the vendor/altar. For this reason, I bid (using shards and plat, mind you) on auctions that were expiring after Wednesday. Imagine my surprise yesterday, when after UPGRADING BIDS ON MY SHIP--that's right, paying even more shards for them--I stepped off it and went looking for the Midwinter festival vendor and altar, only to be disappointed--they were gone!!!!

Oh, the Festivalt Jester is still there, but it is my understanding that coins will be used in future events.

Although I am sad to see the event go because of fond memories competing against family and friends, I understand why it is getting an upgrade. The problem is that there are still tons of recipes on the auction house and these can no longer be used. We are not talking about the few keys and chocolates that appear after Mabar (and which contain written warnings in their description they will "disappear" at the end of the year), we are talking a flood of recipes and motes. Please, give us just one more week to finish upgrading our weapons and armor before you make all these items we collected (and paid for) useless.

Keep in mind that you do still have Capenne Drop-Axe outside the Leaky Dignhy, and it is my understanding she redeems items from 2011. You also still allow people to turn in essences despite the crafting change taking place in 2016. I am just asking for another week. I am not asking for the whole winter event--just the vendor and altar.

I have no idea why, but in the past they have said that for some events, they are not capable of turning on or off the event itself and the turn-in NPCs separately. Clearly they can do it in some cases, Festivault being the obvious case, but for the winter games, Night Revels, Crystal Cove...it's inexplicably all or nothing.
