Special week: events from old sets

It's a simple idea :
We have daily, weekly and monthly events. Okay. That gets boring after a while, doesn't it?
Why don't we have one week in a month dedicated to an old set? One week to gather packs from SOI, BZF, with guaranteed cards from that sets? The set chosen changes every month.
This would add some highly demanded diversity to the schedule and especially helping the newer players who never had a chance to collect the good cards of these sets!

    Yes! All this! Pleaseeeeee! @Brigby can you pads this to the devs? It's a great idea and would help astronomically with the stale content problem.

    Yes please.

    It's good business.  Studies have shown that when candies were offered in multiple colors people ate more of them, even when they were the same flavor.

    Hi Everyone. Thanks for the interesting week-long, monthly idea, @Laeuftbeidir ! I'll pass it along to the developers to see what their thoughts are.

    Thank you, @Brigby ! And also the others for the positive feedback.

    Would be great if you keep us updated on their reaction - I could also work out a better argumentation if demanded ;)

    But the two core ideas are:
    - How to make the old sets better accessible for everyone (I really hope for rewards exclusively from the old sets - for all tiers)
    - and how to avoid situations like "we've been facing RatC every weekend for for months in a row" : stall content until players quit.

    Bonus: They've already done the work of designing and programming these events. Sunken costs! It would be a shame if such events would only be used - like the current **** - as an emergeny solution. That's like having the garage full of Bikes, an old Harley, an original Ural, a Honda SP1 and a new Ducati Monster. The Monster is cool, and you'll take her out regulary...But you won't just be driving only her until the Ducati does what Ducatis love to do, the other ones have their own coolness. I guess I need finally to prepare my bike for this summer...
    Also, **** shows that these events can be implemented in the new system in only a short time.

    It would be nice if the card sets would also be restricted to the current set + origins.
    This would help with power creep a bit unless it's an SOI event with there totally overpowered cards.

    with the introduction of standart, this idea becomes even more interesting I'd say :)))
