I just graduated the Olvia academy and can't take or do the weekly quests from the board any more and therefor can't get anymore Academy Tokens.. That's such a BS, seriously.. Always somthing to piss us off, good job, PA, as usual!

I'm pretty sure they warn you of that before you graduate. Sounds like that's your fault.

Kinda besides the point whether or not it's the OP's fault for not having read about it.....

... because It's bad design.

A more "sensible" design would have been to ONLY make the weeklies available after graduation, and treat the story lore as  "Alumni helping students"

Becase as it stands, it's just like Season.... very little reason to graduate, lots of perks for permanently remaining, and against all common sense and logic.

I agree. I don't think you can permanently remain, though.  I read something about automatically getting kicked out of academy at some point in April (when the term ends). Also, when someone graduates before using up their rift echoes items, those become unusable, which means you may end up with a party where half the members can't contribute.

kinda not.

it's an EVENT! gradute or not the coins are EVENT rewards and should be available as long as the event lasts, regardless of graduation - including the mechanics through you can earn them.

Uh no. It's obvious to 99 percent of us. It's like graduating season and complaining you can't do seasonal stuff. You the reason shampoo bottles have instructions on them sorry

it's interesting how people like you feel entitled to offend others (and remain unpunished) but cry if anyeone involves your mother in the conversation, so i won't.

i posted here because the academia weekly board CAN be considered in both ways, since it's an EVENT. yes - graduating CAN make sense to prevent you from continuing to participate in the event, but letting you to continue with the weeklies while the eent last can also be a possibility. either way it's making graduation absolutely POINTLESS at the least and only damaging. this is the truth. if you don't see this i have nothing more to tell you. keep trolling if that's your thing, but do not presume for a second that you're any smarter even than 1% of us.

It's an event if your a student. Should've read everything that graduating entailed which included getting to do the weekly stuff as a student enrolled into the academy.

It says the final day of Olvia Academy is April 15th... which most likely means a SECOND round of classes. They wouldn't make all of that for the game just to do it once. You'll likely get to be a student again, and that next time around you'll know not to graduate early.

Wait what? What should I be punished for? Thinking that it was obvious you'd lose access to the quests and not graduating? That's not trolling. It wasn't pointless cuz you get 300 seals so if you only had 300 seals worth of stuff to buy then it was worth for you to grad instead of doing weeklies. I don't think I'm smarter than 99 percent or even 1 percent. I just think 99 percent of us are smarter than you
