Golden Consignment Afterthoughts

I'm approaching the last few days of the porter buff, and while it's been amazing getting all these mats, I'm almost looking forward to playing on a more normal schedule.

Currently I feel like I have to play all the time to take advantage of the buff, anyone else have similar experiences?

Having said that, I kinda like the idea of having this be a yearly event for a week or even just a weekend, kinda like DXP.

I'd like to hear how others have found the buff :)
