Daily Deals Remaining Unavailable To All Players Is Unfair
Today I discovered via a friend who has them that Daily Deals are available in the in-game store. This was a surprise to me, because I had never heard nor seen these special offerings before. Searching both these forums and the Bug Reports forum reveals that CG has been "testing" these Daily Deals for close to 4 months now, offering discounted items to select players who were randomly chosen to participate.
I can understand the need to test changes to the store. However, my feedback is that continuing to offer these deals to only a limited amount of players further provides an unfair advantage to them over the rest of the players. For example, my friend was able to purchase relic materials at a well-discounted crystal price than that which is commonly offered in the Shard Shipments. Surely it has been long enough to test this new "content" and decide whether to implement it or remove it.
