Whether an item release is "good" or "bad" for the economy.

Isn't an economy fragile at best without releasing rare items in events? I would think that anything rare should be difficult to obtain which is what gives it its value. Its my understanding that the purpose of reducing this flood of items being handed out was to slow the bleeding so to speak, so the economy could be repaired without undo stress on those that have been around forever. This system of changing things gradually seems like the least offensive way to handle it myself. Once people get used to receiving lesser prizes they will value those of rarity even more.

Items themselves shouldn't be given in events period. You should receive a token of some kind to trade in for things you wish to buy. That way its up to you just how valuable of an item you wish to gain.

The event wasn't going to make it easy to obtain items that were previously difficult to obtain. This is why releasing 1 or 2 copies of 12 rare items is different from releasing 15 copies of 1 rare item.
