Quality over Quantity request: Seasonal events

I don't recall this being a prevalent complaint ever.
If there was one or two shouting about it, they certainly aren't the majority.

But the fate was the most important part as it was what could be called "event" where all the players gather and do something together gameplaywise. Running around the city clicking invisible stuff, then talking to some npc and teleporting back to limsa is hardly an event.

They’re just phoning it in these days.

The quality could certainly use an increase. Even if the seasonal events are just kind of "throwaway" quests they only need to use once for a few weeks and then never use them again, they should be able to do better then just some 10-20 minute basic Go here -> Do a thing -> Go here -> Do a thing -> Go here -> You're done, here is your event item and achievement.

Like...a summer event where a bunch of kids want to have a big water bomb fight to beat a heat wave, only to have someone take things incredibly literally and bring actual water bombs, and you have to fight them off in a fate. Beat the fate with a gold and get a water bomb core. Trade like 20, or 50, or 100 water bomb cores for a reskin of the Kobold's Bomb Palanquin mount where instead of you sitting on a metal bench, you're sitting in a hammock which is tied to and carried around by a bunch of different colored water bombs.

The quality doesn't need to be insane, but enough to make the event actually feel like an event.

There's plenty of people here attempting the tower and chatting in /shout chat. I dunno why there has to be a FATE when it would've probably been as dull as the other non-PvE ones.

Events? on my FFIXV? since when?.

The summer event in GW2 is going on right now that includes two zones, a meta event, like six daily race challenge events, a scavenger hunt, a platforming challenge treasure hunt, a PVP/WVW reward track with boxes that drop rare loot.

Expect more from a game you're paying for monthly.
