Also, their bestiary entry seems to confirm this, the Sacer's entry lists them as obtained from "Event, Magiversary" whereas all the other new CWs are listed as "Stream (very common)".

Unless anyone here has caught a Sacer since the CWs stopped flooding? Or was there some reason as to why they aren't appearing anymore that I missed?
I caught 2 Sacer Crystalwings just now. Also a Komainu and Cypheles Crystalwing. Non of the Crystalwings are gone. Just not flooding, as was informed.

And now their bestiary entry does say "Stream (very common)". Either it's all one big coincidence and I've just missed all the Sacers in my rampant achievement hunting, TPTB are watching us and there was a slight slip up in enabling Sacers in the stream up until now, or the lizard people have finally stopped eating all the delicious Sacer eggs. In any case glad to know they are indeed available!

I'm guessing option three, soon we will have to rise and revolt against these oppressive reptiles! Now where'd I leave my tinfoil hat...

Site staff could've done the same thing with this event. They could've had these new Crystalwings flood for a week and then COMPLETELY disappear from the stream. But since it's the 10th Anniversary, they were nice enough to KEEP THEM IN THE STREAM FOR THE WHOLE REMAINDER OF THE MONTH. That's giving players the rest of the month of May to catch more Crystalwings, which, had this been like every other previous event, you wouldn't be able to get anymore after that initial flood. You'd be stuck with what you had.

In my opinion, I feel kind of like players shouldn't be complaining about that. Don't get me wrong, you're entitled to complain about what you want, say what you want, etc. But the bottom line is that MS staff DIDN'T have to let the Crystalwings continue to be in the stream for the rest of the month. They could have stopped having them appear in the stream after their initial flood and that was that. They were generous enough to allow them to appear in the stream for the rest of the month. They didn't have to do that. Yet they did. They did it for the players, for the same people who are now complaining that they're not happy with it. That makes people seem very ungrateful. I get that you can't, and you won't be able to please everyone, no matter what you do or don't do. Trust me, I've worked in retail for years. I get it. Some people will like the way things are done and some won't. But still, beggars can't be choosers.

Instead of complaining that you're not seeing the Crystalwings, they're "not dropping enough," or that you can't take a couple minutes out of a 24 hour day to look for some in the stream, you could at least THANK MS staff for letting them even be in stream this long. Thank them for at least giving players a CHANCE to get more than they could during the initial flood. They didn't have to do this, but they did. And to see people complain about it frustrates me. Doing something nice for someone else, only for them to complain about it, is a slap in the face, tbh.

But again, that's just my two cents (that no one asked for, I know) on the issue.
THANK YOU. You get it!

Gee, it's almost as if everyone's fighting over opinions and this is just an endless cycle of pointlessness that should be dropped immediately! Man, funny how that works isn't it?

Oh, also, it's not 'effort' if you can't try in the first place.

Woot. Thank you to the staff for fixing the Sacer glitch. (I'm assuming it was fixed as I was seeing ZERO Of them - ever, missed or not) and now they're showing up with the others. lol Maybe we should have said something days ago!

Now my only 'complaint' is how much I'm going to miss the 7 egg slots. Is that a complaint? Or a compliment? :D But probably most of us feel this way. We like it!
