They're still never as good as they used to be. I don't think the deals have been as good since they stopped doing the timed deals during sales.

I enjoy the cards and badge crafting a lot though. Flash sales were really fun back in the day, but I'm glad not to have to worry about the FOMO anymore.

Yeah I can understand the FOMO but i rarely ever get anything on sale during these big ones anymore because they're never as substantial since the flash ones were always a significant discount

I miss the flash sales too but it's worth it considering it gave us refunds instead.
