Why I quit and haven't been back...
The Reaper Rewards event was really terrible for some of us. It didn't work for a lot of people and especially console players had a hard time with it. On top of that the Sims team members went zer...

I and at least 15,000 others are as frustrated with these limited-time FOMO events as you are.
If you can mod and you wish to return to the game, I can solve this hurdle for you and anyone else reading this. My name is the same everywhere, except three places where there's two additional words following my name. Find me Elsweyr. Cheers.
I am on Playstation so mods were not available, but I truly appreciate the offer (and maybe some others can take you up on it). I wouldn't even have minded if it was a situation where I missed this time but the events always repeated (Fallout 76 is very successful with this and makes extra money off of selling some missed items), but some events never repeat with this game. They trained us to want to not miss out on anything and then didn't fix it when it was their fault we missed out.
Oh, I know. I was present during the Happy At Home fiasco. I lost my rewards before they finally "fixed" it, after those three months of pretty much telling us that the event was over and tough luck.
Here's something you might not know, even if you did complete every event and unlock every item, you can still lose almost all of it on console because the only event rewards that are truly "account-bound" are from Happy At Home. Everything else is "server-bound". If we lose our accountDataDB.package and cannot reconnect to EAxis' servers, or they somehow muck up the server data on their end, we all lose everything.
The worst part of all of this is that unlocking these items for everyone is extremely easy and requires no shenanigans.
They could just rerun these events or turn them into Scenarios or in-game quests or "buy the item from a vendor". There are many options available to EAxis, but they've chosen the anti-consumer FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) option. They've convinced themselves that giving us a few weeks grace at the end of every event addresses all of the problems, when it doesn't really address anything whatsoever.
