Hmmm... *wonders if those few people who always seem to have the inside track when Mythic pulls this kind of crap are buddy buddy with someone on the Dev team*
The thought occurred to me also.

Bless deeds suck anyway. You'd have to die a million times to make them pay for themselves, and the stuff doesn't go back on by default when you click your corpse.

I'm more concered with the fact that Despise has been destroyed and replaced by an incredibly ugly amateurish-looking minigame that no one will remember three months from now. Seriously, if you can't do better than those mismatched black rocks and those trees growing out of bare stone, just quit adding terrain.

Perhaps it is a little more deliberate that they make these kinds of changes without publishing the details...
Every time something like this happens, there is always a vendor rush just before it goes public. It's amazing how oblivious the devs/programmers/ect are... unless they know and don't care.

Uhm no? They have been vanishing off vendors super fast. Over 30 on Atlantic last night for around 2-3m, all gone. They will just be sold for stupid amounts of gold after the publish hits the rest of the shards. Yay for Mythic making a few people stupidly, stupidly wealthy.

*golf claps*
Glad I have 20 or so of them I haven't used yet.. There was plenty of time for people to pick up tons of these things. Removing them shouldn't be a huge issue, it's not like we're getting thousands of new players in every month.

Yes everyone, if we are to keep the clean up going we have to filter in and out new items. Bless deeds will no longer be on the NPC's for now but we have added a new item. We are not saying you will never see them again. So all those points you have been hording, now you have something to spend them on.

This is just a lame and pointless decision. It smells of bias. Remove something else then. Remove some junk nobody even wants. Instead you removed the best and most popular item.

Since it hands out items, I would assume you would need to have access to the house to use one. I could see having them set up for potions, petals, bandages... so, they might have a use in pvp for a quick restock.
I don't think it would work for that. You don't choose what you want from its pack, it just gives you one item, or one bag of items. Plus it will only give to the same character once per day.

Can we stop with the conspiracy theories please? IF anyone has been stockpiling deeds it's because they discovered the change while the publish was on test center and kept quiet about it. Personally, I haven't bothered with the bless deeds much, it's no problem to insure items. We were told that items would be swapped out periodically, we just forgot.
