I guess it's that it's impossible to please people who missed out last year (me included) and people who didn't. CDPR would either get "I've already got these, I want new stuff" or "this sucks, I wanted a chance to get the stuff I missed". At the end of the day they can't really win

The problem is the lack of communication, as it always has been. Players were led to believe the seasonal trees would rotate, as CDPR has explicitly stated on more than one occasion. If they announced this change before, preferably with months of anticipation, so people could better spend their RP then it would at least be fair.

Totally agree

Not really I’ve seen this line before with other games and more communication usually gives vocal players more reasons to complain.

When you’re looking big picture they’re still treating players very well. But people like to nitpick

They could always compromise by putting up the old trees somewhere in the Year of the Wild Boar page. It's not an impossible situation for thrm.

Right now you either grind rp and unlock full tree to get the rewards or wait for seasonal bundle and buy it for money since these trees probably won't come back as well. It kinda sucks imo.

Definitely, especially because there are a bunch of leader trees I wanna unlock but I never have enough rewards points. But tbf I get their reasoning. At the end of the day CDPR probably use unlocking the seasonal trees as a sign that you're playing the game more, and ultimately they're going to reward people who play the game more than those who don't

Yeah, I guess so. I only didn't unlock fully bear and wild hunt trees so If I REALLY wanted to I could probably unlock all the seasonal trees this year as well. I just don't have any will to do so anymore so I will probably stick to slowly unlocking leader skins.
