I had SO hoped that after some of us complained after the Halloween event that it's not right that those of us who spent a significant amount of money to buy the barracks don't get to use them for what we would far and away MOST want to use them for - limited time quests - that they would have changed that by now. I am very sad they care so little about players investing money in their game that they continue to disenfranchise us this way. Correct me if I am wrong, but the main reason for people playing a free game to spend money on items in the game is to gain some sort of advantage - to save time or get extra chances for something. But the barracks don't help at ALL, EVER, when they would be most useful - for limited time quests / events. I highly recommend that all players who have not already wasted their money on the barracks NOT buy them. They are not only completely useless for what you would most want them for, but IMO, every time this situation comes up it's like a slap in my face, and a good reason to never spend any more money on this game. I wish I could get a refund on my insultingly useless barracks.
