I mean, it's up to Mike and Rapsey obviously, I'm sure they're fairly aware that the last sale went well. There's merits to each side, and I think only a very small handful of players would be truly upset if this happened again. That being said, last time there was a good reason (the server was doing very poorly and we launched an advertising campaign IIRC), and I think it could hurt future unique sales if we did these without reason. If this becomes a regular thing to the point people are thinking "well I don't need to buy these because I can just wait for the next one", then obviously the sales will slow down to the point that it's almost like we're just regularly selling rares. That's just my 2 cents, and as a disclaimer, I don't actually know how the logistics of the last sale and advertising campaign went, they may have been unrelated, but it did make sense at the time.
Just a side point, a lot of people aren't doing well financially right now, and I personally wouldn't have any events that explicitly benefit people who donate money right now. Although I suppose that's up for debate, and the owners do have to take care of themselves also, but again, just my 2 cents
