I hoarded mine too, though only those I personally brewed/grinded for. I don't think you can really beat yourself up for over something like this, whether the eye system got changed or not was always going to be a binary set of circumstances, and whichever decision you made you could easily end up regretting depending on whether the vials continued to climb in value or were completely nerfed as we saw today. (I'm not one to be all But the staff PROMISED!!!! in general, because as has been mentioned in many other places, we've seen other feature implementations that were sworn would never happen. That said, I do find the wording of the announcement thread a tad disingenuous about 'we promised no more scattersights and we're keeping that promise', especially this follow-up post: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/3004107/67#post_47417076 Obviously investors didn't buy up stacks of the things because they expected them to increase in value just by virtue of being retired. Making them obsolete by the implementation of new, simpler, cheaper versions is a good decision for the site (IMO) but it sucks for those specific users and it would have been a display of kindness to make some acknowledgement of that, rather than rules-lawyering about it.)
I only had one left, but I'm def regretting holding onto it esp because there are plenty of things I really need the gems for, lol.
ah well, I'll either throw it up there for cheap (some gems are better than none, lol) or use it on some random dragon if I can't be bothered to do that.
I just thought "Oh no, the savings I invested to make more dragoncash to buy matchy primal G1s are all gone D:" and then I realised that I am a fool. I do not need those savings to fill my lair with matchy primal G1s any more! (And thankfully I hadn't invested that much in them in the first place.)
I have 134 hoarded, but I always hoped the scattervials would come back and I considered the "investment" to be a consolation prize in case they never did. So, I'm a little disappointed at the implementation now that the scatter journey is more definitely never happening but overall I'm glad we won't run out of ways to put primal on older dragons.
