They don't just remove unpopular stuff. The Covers, the Silver Sylvan... they're not unpopular. I see the Covers being used everywhere, for example.

However my big issue is the lack of forewarning. We should get a larger forewarning on if something's cycling out for half a year/a year. A week. is. not. enough. time. Give us a month. Like what was done with the bard apparel. We got a month's warning on that.
