I'm not sure why fall fest items don't expire until 12/10, as you can't use them anymore. They are clogging up the misc section on the broker in my opinion, and I think they shouldn't be able to be sold anymore as there is no use for them. Especially as the some of the supplies are a bit similar to winter fest supplies. Just my opinion, maybe they are useful somehow, but I don't really think they should be able to be sold past the festival ending date. lmk what you think! : )

Support. I once accidentally bought a majestic spring cata thing because I thought it was summer Dx It was a good deal, but still a waste of money because I couldn't use it. I think once the festivities close down, items still in players' inventories should either be automatically removed or made untradeable - whichever is easier to code. x)

Yeah, I just feel like theres no reason to putt stuff on the broker unless you are trying to pull stuff like that and sell players unusable items. I think making stuff untradeable or removing it would prevent any stuff like that from happening cause it really sucks to lose money like that especially for like newer players :(

I always just threw things on the broker to get them out of my inventory, but I'm an exceptionally slow individual who only just recently realized that you can "sell" things from your inventory even if the item background turns red to get rid of them.
Yes I've been here almost 8 years, what's it to ya?

The system is still relatively new. It's all an automatic process at this point.
A script runs every Monday at midnight. If it has been at least 14 days since the item is due to expire, it is then removed from the game.
The reason for this is a buffer for myself incase any crazy reason I need access to those items post Festival. Once they are gone, they are gone. I have erred on the side of caution until I am confident that I do not need that big buffer time anymore.
