Catch A Bit O' Gold This Weekend - March 15, 2013

[Platinum Pirate]

I see your point. Less people are actually playing the game these days. A sizable chunk of them used Game Cards. Since those are no longer around, they got bored being Basic and are doing something else with their time. So be it.

Would I see it as a desperate attempt on POTCO's part to lure them in? No. Its just for marketing purposes aimed at young kids. No different than taking a lollipop from the dentist.

I tried that event today but was pressed for time. Had some real life stuff to do. While taking care of those things, I decided it wasn't worth going to see Shamus and Sooty. I don't need the gold. The surprise goodie isn't worth it because all it will do is take up precious Inventory space. And I certainly did not want to spend my time server hopping and when I find any one of them, tolerate the lag for something I might not get anyway which honestly I don't need.

It's just meant to be a fun event for very young kids.
