First & foremost there are some major issues with the Lightning event - When Fate starts its slow because of lag caused by amount of people then ends quickly & most people can't even target monsters due to the amount of people & AOE spells being cast. Then the reward for it is so limited only 1 or 2 people get it. So many people are there with their chocobos, minions & summoned pets out that it makes seeing everyone hard it's just a mess. Many players are using Blizzard 2 repeatedly outside of battle for no reason other than to annoy other players to drive them off & create confusion & lag. I know the Dragon quest cross over & some others are planned soon please consider these issues. Perhaps some of the equipment can be more level appropriate I think you need to make items appropriate to the challenge you are giving us, if it's a level 45 or above challenge level 45 gear.
