This is a joke right?
Not like people had to go to work today or anything...
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
you expected the price to drop immediately when the event started ??
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
I would geuss its because demand is up. More toons showing up and more people thinking about the enhancements.
Also, the snowmen aren't the only source. You got canes for completing the BNY mish and for clicking presents and getting a "nice" also.
I got all my canes last year from speed runs of the BNY mish. I earned them much more quickly than I got them from blasting snowmen.

No, I expected the price to drop by the time I had been looking at the market this afternoon. The beginning of the event is usually when people are most voracious about participating.|

I know for a fact people line up at the Chalet door waiting for the event to start. I've been there myself before.

You can speedrun lady winter in about 2 minutes so there should be alot oif canes available this winter event
The three pieces of Winter's Gift can be obtained for 40 Candy Canes, 40 Candy Canes, and 50 Candy Canes; Speed, Speed/End, and Slow res respectively.
And yet the recipes are still running 10-40mil at level 50! I realize it's only the first day of the event, but unlike last year, it's much easier to get Candy Canes now. Previously, the only source of Canes was naughty presents (which far too many people don't clean up), and a small handful of snowmen spawns in the Baby New Year mission (which most people skip as soon as they have the key to the door). The Lady Winter mission, however, is full for snowmen. Running it at x8 solo, I easily picked up 70 Canes (65 from drops plus 5 Cane mission reward*). And that was with sending off Tuatha to killsteal.
And even for people who don't want to go kill snowmen, Candy Canes on the market are still going strong at 250k each. That's 12.5m to buy enough Canes to get a slow resist recipe, or 10m for either of the other pieces. With the current rates on the Canes and the recipes, you can still make profit without killing a single enemy. I slept in today, and I would've expected the prices to drop to a pittance by this time. What gives?
* I was mostly running the mission for the badge, and the only thing the mission reward window can give me is temporary powers I don't need, or Candy Canes.
