I mostly agree with what you said, however this is not true. They are giving new players some of the best atma in the game for nothing, as well as a Lunar Abyssite, free cruor, and a lot of stones. That is a large boost to getting people caught up on things so far as Abyssea goes. With the atma in question, a Teal WHM can keep a party alive, a pink NIN can tank, a teal BLM will have the MP to proc, any job can DD mildly well in any gear, and so on. In the end, this event is a lot of help to newer players in the part that atma, cruor, and abyssite play, but gear is not effected, that much is completely true, and that's the most important thing outside of the event itself. In the end, its not fixing all of Abyssea's issues it has had develop since moving so far past it, but it does help people, its just not exactly the help people really needed, though I am not sure much can be done outside of giving people the gear, or making seals much, much easier.
