They don't need to compensate anything, because these items are no longer necessary. It's no different to them giving everyone enough powder to finish the quest. They just made it easier to obtain going forward, like they do with many things, to catch newer players up. It doesn't need to be compensated.

Besides, these items were obtained in addition to whatever you got from your grind. You didn't pay for them in any way, you grinded whatever you would have grinded anyway, just had to speak to Jetina beforehand. It's dishonest to say you killed 2k mobs for nothing, you still got all the loot and XP. 

They just made a quest easier, that's it. Tens of thousands of people finished this questline while having to obtain 180 powders with 2 daily, not 4. No one was "compensated", it's normal.

ain't nobody trying to loot 2k pollies. It was def time invested. Best case was if there was a guild quest up.

You guys are nuts. haha. I don't know if you are just contrarian or what, but this whole 'dishonesty' or acting as thought it's entitled to be like WAT when everyone I know who was going for BP was like NO when it happened. And like I said they actually gated people who might have been RIGHT on the cusp of getting it because now it's all black stones and you can't get those.

Dude you said "it's no different than them giving everyone enough powder to finish the quest" lool are you kidding? I'm not really understanding the logic of that statement. Honestly, I can't even argue this anymore. I am getting trolled by how people are not understanding what I am saying.

All I can say is despite you guy's attempt to console me or act like it's whining (when you prol made your stuff years ago,) every single person I know who had powder was like NOOO WAY. I ain't mad, per se, but it is legit confounding to me that you guys are coming up with these illogical responses. Hurts me. It's such a simple concept; I don't get how people don't follow. But don't act like I am being dishonest lool. Such a political response and you don't even understand what I (we) are saying, apparently.

PA and it's community just love rewarding your invested time.
