Many popular items are being removed from Madam Fey (See: https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/404821/new_madame_fay_items_next_week/ )"Many" (in other words, not all) will be replaced with brand new rewards.  
 
This doesn't seem like a good choice. I was thinking about this the other day, about how the Fey boxes must get stale after awhile and how new items should get added to keep players interested. What seemed obvious to me would be to add a new chest to Fey. Players would be able to pick the old chest to open or the new chest. Still looking for the that one items from the first Fey round, pick the old chest. Want something added on this new Fey round, pick the new chest. And over time, add more chests. I could see like a couple years from now players having like five Fey chests to pick from. 
 
There's zero reason to remove items from Madam Fey. It's just going to tick off players who've been dumping money into fortune chests but haven't got the item they're after yet. The only reason to take items off of Fey like this that I can see is straight up desperation. Buy it now before it's gone! Instead of leaving items in the game for players to continue to spend money on long term, short term seem to be vastly more important to you. Sure is the feeling I get from the Boss Hunter "event" where players have to pay to get any of the event rewards. Buck a pop on boxes of garbage. Reeks of desperation. 
 
Ah well. Whatever. Honestly, this change doesn't effect me. I've only ever opened one fortune box and that was with the free coin they gave us awhile back. I don't like throwing money at rng boxes. When I buy stuff from the cash shop, and I do buy stuff, it's stuff where I know what I'm getting, dyes, costumes, that kind of thing. I'm not against Madam Fey, but it's just not how I want to spend my money.

I think what he's saying is make two options: the new box of items, and the old box of items. When you use a coin, you can choose which one you want, so you don't have to suffer further RNG by mixing the loot tables together.
 
Although, I do agree on one thing: these items are near-worthless right now, so they'll become scarce rather quickly if removed, which is a nice boost to the economy.

Yeah, but will they ever come back? Don't forget what happened to Kitchen Sinks ant Towels from the Boxing Gym challenge: utterly forgotten and impossible to obtain. I'd take "worthless"* but plentiful item over no items at all.
 
Also: What an obvious tactic to get people to freak out about availability of these items and buy lots of Madame Fay coins.
 
*(Though haven't these been going for up to 50gold on average in Entity? That's not that worthless unless you are one of those whacky people who make 7+ plat per day somehow).

			We might finally get Gilded Ascendant and Triton costumes, those are pretty much only two that we haven't seen but have been datamined before f2p.

What ticks me off the most is they (Carbine Devs) use Redit to put out information like that and not their own forums. Thanks for linking that, Atomicpanda. I don't go to Redit so never would have seen it.
 
As for replacing some things: It's good to keep it fresh. Just hope they do bring back some of the things they are taking out. I know I would like to have another chance to get that mount. Still no luck getting it LOL.

Oh, man! I'm so looking forward on spending twenty dollars for 12 lumps of iron ore, 3 high rune crafting pieces and 7 seeds of honeywheat!

			Is that counting having Elder Gems capped and a Flask of Money/XP or is that the raw number? And aren't those rares in a long spawn rate?

They took the Arched Aurin Bridges and Kitchen Sinks out to put them into Madam Fay Rewards. That's the reason why Customer Service said they are still in the game!

I think the latter posts in this thread represent well how much respect from companies is worth to players, and how that translates into loyalty and trust.
 
I'd be pretty cynical too about that.
