Im actually probably run cof this weekend, i think that + grog drops should get me 350k+ ,,, ah wishful thinking is nice. If only there was double lucky/ lockpick drops this weekend as well, oh the fun that would happen.

Very good. I am working on my drunkard title, so free alcohol is always welcome.

So if the guy farmed every minute of the event and never left the computer to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, or have a life, it would have taken 6.67 days to farm up 80 stacks. Either the player had multiple people working on the project or was making purchases.

But since I know the player, I don't need the logic. He bought all 85 stacks, and invested a huge number of hours in finding them all below market value.

This here is evidence that people really do take games too seriously.

Go outside, the sun is not something to be afraid of. Buy sunscreen.

Yeah, you beat me to it, Redd bought all of them. I think back fondly to the days when I used to make millions selling crack... I mean spiked eggnogs to drunks for 1k each. Now with alchohol at 80g per minute I cant get into grogs anymore. Spoiled by the old days.

Jup, seems like it. And I'm not very happy about it. I had planned to farm a lot today since I had to spend all weekend at my parents home for their wedding anniversary.

Guess I'll have to make do with what I got

Bah! yet another /fail... should've been used to it by now. So we'll prolly see some we're sorry bla bla but that won't take my dissapointment away, since as someone before me, I was away for the weekend and was really looking to get a few grogs in my bags today

incompetent as usual, the bigger the event the bigger the fail (so this is a small event and a small fail)

seriously anet your lack of professionalism carries much further than simply losing 24 hrs of event drops

Well, I managed to get 50 grogs in 3 days. :/
Little disappointed there. But it was free. :]

May have to do with their new system to automate all weekend and holiday events and the labeling of the Talk like a pirate one as a regular weekend event.

On that account I call for a redux next week, might add some german translations the Piratenpartei could need a bit of free advertisement... just make sure to stop the event durring sunday so people go vote instead of farming grogs 24/7.
