Does it suck when something you thought was worth something is no longer worth anything?
Of course, but, with how many people were complaining, not just about the lack of eye vials themselves, but also how short the event to get the scattervials was and how a lot of people just didn't have the time/ability to get a lot, I expected *something* to change, whether that meant they unretired scattervials, or something else.
And yeah, I never really understood the whole 'investment' thing with petsites. Not in the 'I take this old item, and then I can make money on it in the future' sense, but rather in the 'this is a pet site that can go down at any moment, be sold off to new owners, have a change in vision, and so on, so anything can happen.'
New owners might decide to unretire items because they have a different philosophy. Original owners might have a change in vision and realize that unretiring items can be good for their site. Just so many things that can happen, so why be shocked when something does happen?
The same thing for light sprites and other similarly valued items. With how much has been made over them, I personally wouldn't consider them 'investment' worthy, because there is no telling whether or not the developers will do anything to bring down the prices. They have already had a change in their views regarding various things before (such as the aforementioned eye vials, where they had planned on natural eyes being breeding only, but changed their minds and gave them vials)
