EDIT: Since writing my original comment, no mostly removed, a few things regarding the Lovense event have some to light, and so I've edited this post reflect.
My original post was largely a complaint against 3dx itself, for I was under the impression (wrongly) that it was a 3dx room, with 3dx hosts, spending a limitless amount of gold even when the room had hundreds of people. This was frustrating to me at the time because for the rest of us gold costs real life currency and / or time investment. But it turned out that wasn't the case at all.
It was an event put on by community members and gold paid out of pocket (I didn't ask if they were reimbursed. The event was put on by, among others, White Breeze, and I have some good friends with that group, namely IamTrouble (no relation ). I had no idea, one of the organizers, someone else I know, even changed their avatar name to Lovense. I don't know 3dx's involvement beyond endorsing the event on the log in page. I still don't necessarily agree how boosting was handled and how the event was promoted. The friction could have been avoided but hey, we're human, we make mistakes, and we learn.
Bottom line is that I am SUPER PROUD of IamTrouble, White Breeze, the other groups, the DJ's, dancers, etc. for their success that night and what they accomplished. There was just a misunderstanding about how "official" the party was.
It's great that 3dx endorsed this event. In the future, to avoid misunderstandings, events like these should work OUTSIDE the boost system, and featured on top of the room list in it's own section (e.g.: "3dx Official" along with "Friends", "Group", and the rest. (which reminds me, why is boosting even possible for friends rooms and group rooms?). Also, a little more advanced notice would be great!
Thanks for reading, Peace
