Is that fair to change terms of event? I believe its not. Yes, cool for traders, absolutely unfair to all others. 1 trader found that he screwed up with event items, so it was his risks
If you will change rates to 1x, you will not see new players anymore. I'm telling it as a player 29 lvl. If high level players wants 1x drop/spoil - give it to them. If 1x will be for everyone, only highlevels will stay on this server.
