Is SE trying to aggravate their customer base? Who cares whether or not NPC enjoy anything?

No idea what the event today is, but the main point of the Vana'diel Day events as a whole is simply "fun", not "power". Why would a "fun" event be aggravating?

Because they raised expectations that they might actually be useful on the first one and since then have been completely pointless. Might be interesting if it lasted more than one day but aint nobody got time to explore something completely pointless when it's only up for a day especially same day cp campaign starts

especially same day cp campaign starts

^^
This, so very much.

C'mon, SE. You KNOW that almost nobody is going to want to explore fluff and flavor during a CP campaign.

Seriously, why did you do this? Why not the 13th or the 22nd, or any other day that isn't 14th-21st?

CP Campaigns only happen for 7 IRL days at a time typically and because CP is such a boring slog of kill the same monster for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours to get 2100JP, you know players will jump at every chance to lessen the burden.

Currently, CP is the most boring thing to do in the game, because it just takes so freaking long and it seems so pointless to mindlesly wail away at the same mobs over and over again. Don't matter if you're in a CP group burning down Apex mobs, or you're some newbie in Cirdas, or some in-between in Reisenjima, it is boring as all crap.

Nobody who needs CP is going to want to take a day off in the middle of a CP campaign to go explore some optional fluff content that has nothing to do with character progression.

That, or you know, make the CP campaign last all month long? At least then we wouldn't have players trying to binge on it for the precious little time it exists. I find it funny you guys at SE still have the notice when you hit the play button that we shouldn't spend all of our time in Vana'diel and then you add something that takes such a ludicrous amount of time like getting the Master stars and then the only booster campaigns that ever happen for this only last for 7 days, which basically says "YOU GOTTA PLAY 7 DAYS STRAIGHT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS!" after asking players not to spend too much time in-game. lol. right.

And don't even get me started on pairing Double Synth Skill up with this... *sigh* Apparently they think it's funny to be torn between CP and Synth Skill, so that no matter what you're going to lose out on something.
