@overseer
"legitimate reason"
if that was a valid reason, all events where you have to complete a task for prizes would be cancelled as well |

I can think of reasons why they cancelled it.
However, I cannot comprehend why they chose to use the excuse that they did.
Just explain why the decision was made, don't try and pass it off as 'being too confusing' |

Resources are stretched too thin given the updates to the entire catalog taking place at the moment (it's more than just sorting hats into the relevant accessory category). They are currently in the midst of re-uploading a tonne of meshes so that they are compatible with R15 and the new attachment system.
They probably decided that the time spent on the event could be better spent attending other pressing matters. Maybe there isn't a great return on investment prospect. Maybe they simply don't have the graphic designers available and the regular organiser of the event is busy with other tasks. BrightEyes, for example, deals with ROBLOX advertising which probably requires a lot of communication with other companies. |

yeah, both good reasons maybe they're passing it off as being "too confusing" because they expect the community to think their reasons are also too confusing |

While I've enjoyed giftsplosion in the past, and would have hoped to have had that joy for many years to come, I completely agree with the reason Giftsplosion was cancelled this year. What many people forget is that ROBLOX is a company. Now, having good customer support is something every company needs to succeed. When having Giftsplosion, it makes it extremely difficult for the Customer Service team to help the people who are actually in need since they're being flooded with un-needed emails asking how to get certain gifts. It makes the Customer Supports job extremely hard, difficult and stressful to handle things. At then end of the day, that customer support is a lot more important then answering questions on how to obtain gifts -That information could easily be gathered from the forums, youtube or many other sites.
All I can do is hope that in the following years, they've found a way to make giftsplosion happen while maintaining great customer support to their users. |

i still think canceling the traditional event altogether as a result of it was a really lousy way to go about things they could have just made a gift guide or something to help prevent that sort of thing |

So basically they said "Instead of even trying to fix the problem we'll just straight up remove it, completely ignoring the consequences". Essentially, they way to do everything ever since the start of this year.
