Suggestions to improve Ambuscade

[Zeldar]

If you want the HQ armor, spend some HQ time on the event. If you want the best capes in the game, you need to work for them. Lets leave out the fact that ambuscade makes making an RME weapon a lot easier and less boring. If you don't want to dedicate the time to the game or don't have the time to dedicate, thats fine: settle for the NQ set or take 2 months to get the entire HQ set. I'm sick of running into people in the game that have great gear but are useless because they don't know how to play their job. Why? because they don't want to spend time earning and learning. I agree that right now, getting into ambuscade does take more time since it is new and people are excited about the new gear. Thats fine...nothing wrong with waiting 2 weeks . Yes, when the campaign hits everyone will want CP and ambuscade will die down. Maybe thats your time to spam some ambuscade. A grind? Ninja please. 4 hours per week of Dynamis plus another one preparing just to get your rdm hat in, oh I don't know, A YEAR?!? THAT is a grind. 2100 job points: THAT is a grind. Ambuscade is a leisurely stroll through the park.

Oh come off it. I have all 4 previous HQ sets and am halfway to Morrigan's HQ: The spam nature of the simple fight is bad event design. It stops being any sort of fun long before you're done with it.

Dynamis was at least diverse, required attention and a level of skill and coordination. You also, in its heyday, couldn't spam it but you weren't limited by time constraints. You didn't spend more time preparing for dynamis than doing dynamis. (usually lol)

Edit: And yeah, the cape-trading is the most obvious timesink I've ever seen. It was deliberately designed to be that way and there's no valid defense for that either.
