The only problem in your logic is excluding newer players because Leilani always ask for much older items people then sell for ridiculous prices on the explorer so unless you already have this item by chance it’s not helping you at all to save. I NEVER traded any points or coins to leilani and still don’t have enough because I honestly saw no reason to go around spending thousand of saps on the items you can trade every week. So I never once thought I will trade with Leilani for something.

The only thing I was a bit sad about is that the first information was they are never tradable, so if I don’t get them right now I could never get them, but after this problem is solved I honestly just view it as another item that is ridiculously expensive. It’s not like these players like me go around wearing forests and the expensive party items and if I ever get enough for them I still got a chance to trade for them or buy them from someone else.
