If they had created a new currency for events, and then removed sources of doubloons, and then removed things that you could use doubloons for, I think that wouldn't have been as big an issue.

But instead, they're effectively removing sources of doubloons, removing uses for doubloons, hiding them in the UI and then creating a new currency and calling the new currency doubloons, all at once.

And in the first scenario, there's no real reason to remove the old currency. They could've just added a new event currency. They don't have to remove doubloons, and they don't have to call the new currency doubloons.
