I already said it isn't retiring, and I've talked to about this multiple times, you really don't need to keep trying to scare people. There is no reason to retire it. We usually retire things when they've gotten really cheap and have few uses (like lots of the more basic clothing items, for example.) We've also been going in the direction of finding other ways to use up junkier items, like the drives, increasing the items that the Recycle Beast takes, can be fragged, events/drives, etc.

Using this item had nothing to do with increasing the item value, it had to do with it fitting with the achievement while still being restockable. It was 11mil when I released the achievement. No matter what item it was, the price would have increased some at the release--that happens every single time. It's not only a restockable item, but it also can be caught with a Lizard Minion Trap/Spray. Not all of the achievements are going to be super easy. There are 2 achievements you can get with it being read, and another in the wardrobe. You could feasibly get 3 achievements only needed once.

You're going to have to work for some achievements. If it's something you're interested in working for, it's entirely attainable.

If your post was bad enough to have been deleted, you would have gotten a warning. I was in the process of replying to you and Amber said she couldn't see it. So I sent her a screenshot showing that I was actively replying. Your ping now sends me to another thread. Not sure what happened. You don't need to assume anything like that, you're more than welcome to message me if you thought that's what happened. I was actually just about to message you! Here's the screenshot:

You've said a few times that it's going to be retired as if we mentioned it was. I don't really want that rumor going around because there isn't any basis for it, just really don't want people to freak out about something like that. In the main shops we only really retire retire junk, and the seasonal items that come back/reretire.

The rest of the achievements I created were really easy to get. Having one that's a bit of work isn't really that outlandish.
