I see we still haven't been heard in our request to see the seasonal items back in search. This is such a huge disappointment. It hasn't even been addressed, or an explanation given as to what the problem was with having these things available year-round, since the game performance was in no way affected!
PRO's in having year-round access to seasonal items : We don't have to bog down our storage with a stock-pile of items for each special occasion, because we know we can purchase them any time.
-- Servers won't be clogged when these items are released, often far too close to the special occasion for many players' liking (look back at posts asking where the St Patrick's stuff is, when are the Halloween things coming out, when will you be releasing the Easter stuff, please bring out the Christmas stuff, etc etc etc), and every player is rushing to use up their storage once again in stock-piling.
-- There would be no need for a new tab for every special holiday, nor a "Seasonal" one, if all we have to do is type a few letters key to that holiday and find all the decorations.
-- There would be a lot more happy players! Seriously, Slashkey, it seems the fun is being sucked out of this game a little at a time.
We have come to you asking to change various things in the game, and you have listened, and often made those changes for us, or at least explained why you cannot make the changes. If this search feature was what you call a "bug", like the dirt and stone path "glitch", please return it to us, because we loved it, used (not abused) it, and thought it was an ingenious thing you did for us!
