Why not? Because I was not around then and I was not a Beta Tester, why should i be given a building that I was not around for? Yes if it was available for gems I would most likely buy one, but it is not, just like how you can't purchase 10 MMAs or FMs with gems, you just cant do it lol, but you are saying I should whine to get these things that i missed out on? Maybe if I was a child I would do this, but I'm not.
I think my point is, is that BB should not be selective to a single or type of player- if they make last years event shop available it should be available for everyone with the limit reset, why bend to one player's wants/needs if you are not going to offer the same deal to everyone on the server.
We want it all and we want it MEOW!!!!!!!

Assuming that if someone had eggs from last event, and they would have used it for whatever they needed... I am tempted to read the above statement as follows -
Simply deleting the old eggs would have been unfair to anyone who hoarded them in the previous Easter Events.
Note that I am not advocating that they should have been deleted.. but like few others, I was also under the impression that the New Eggs are being introduced to prevent hoarding... But how is that different from someone saving an event adv during an event, and later not being able to finish them because the buffs required to produce them can no longer be produced.
Old Eggs were supposed to be useful while the last event was on.. No one promised either ways. So, personally, I would have been fine if BB decided to delete those eggs.. If not, I would expect the event shop to be active and available even after the event is over.. Kind of like have the removal phase 1, but not the phase 2 when shop items are also removed.. Otherwise the 2nd phase was your last chance to use those resources... and there should be no reason to complain otherwise.
I think this was implemented in the fairest way possible.
I don't mind older players having stuff that newbies don't. It's fine. As long as that STUFF is not "vital" to the game. Have some unobtainable monuments and decorations, brag about it - fine with me. Try to reach 10k population without Frozen Manors? And have some economy on your island to run any adventures?
Everybody who was playing during that Xmas had an easy chance to get FM's. That chance was removed.
About a chance for players to get some stuff from old eggs instead of deleting them... Here is what you are doing BB. You are removing old event resource, giving old players who have those a chance to use them. AT THE SAME TIME YOU ARE NOT ALLOWING NEW PLAYERS TO BUY THE SAME STUFF - there is no MMA for new eggs. How in this world is that fair?
4 years i have watched as the big spenders have saved, hoarded, and exploited the resource event items. Through lots of hard work, i am finally able to save some from last year.
Fair you say? Fair would be warning us in advance, so some of us didnt spent every thing they had to get more eggs. I dont mind the change, just the way its implemented, i spent 10's of thousands to save eggs from last year, and there is nothing from last year that i didnt get, oh, except screwed.
