Your post’s image has shown as just the text “Uploading…” for the last 10 minutes.
Maybe re-try?

I don’t see this week as a bad thing, I see it as a **serious breather** where I can relent a little and not grind so hard. I’m going to stockpile Glory and it should smooth my Arcane chasing/purchases down the road with frugal budgeting.

The devs have mentioned that they don’t really look at the traitstones that go with the pack when deciding on which troops to put out.
Personally I’ve been happy with the Spirits glut, as it let me trait Pharos and Mab 😛

The reason I’m bothered by it is that stones like Venom (from Thorn Knight) and Light (from Winged Bison) haven’t come around in six months (at least by the time we’re getting them again - thankfully both are on the horizon). Those were literally my first two weeks playing back in August, and I had no idea what I was doing. It’s frustrating that I haven’t had the opportunity to purchase those again.
Spirits four times in two months just seems like too much to me. Granted, I don’t think Merchant’s Blade was exactly planned before the uproar about it, either. At any rate, I am glad we’re not getting them again for two months, at which point I will happily buy the remainder I need in the epic pack.

> We actually hadn’t been specifically looking at troop/traitstone colors to ensure there was a nice spread coming out in events. Up until now, first & foremost, we’ve been trying to fill in gaps in Kingdoms, and create some interesting counters & synergies. We’ll keep an eye on the color rotations in future - no promises it will be perfect though!

We commented a while ago about troops/traitstones.

Not to mention spirit was the prize for ranked PvP rewards for like 3 weeks. And I remember they once changed it to Arcane Death in the middle of the week. Not sure why. I asked the question here:

> Speaking of spirit… iirc Arcane Spirit was the prize for PvP ranked rewards for 3 weeks in a row (including this week). Then it suddenly changed to Arcane Death in the middle of this week. Why? Not to mention we had spirit in glory bundle for 2 weeks in a row. So, no, don’t show us anymore spirit in PvP ranked rewards please.
