3rd quest of this Moonfire Faire is ridiculous!

All this for fluff rewards. Were talking about emotes as a reward. I've heard stories of people spending hours of frustration on this event, for a frikin power ranger emote. My mind is just baffled. Maybe Im just that different, I dont know. I remember lines like this in FFXI, but in FFXI it was for the quest to unlock the fellowship system when it was first put in, allowing you to summon a companion, so the reward was something useful. Just come back later guys - its JUST an emote....and everyone will be spamming the same emotes. This doesnt even trigger the reward system in my brain.

Indeed. They could have simply waited a few days and done it in 15mins.
The emotes are rather fun.

I've honestly never had this problem in Hyperion. Despite the high amount of players that had been partaking in the event, had no issues claiming the bombs necessary for the event. I do feel as if the bomb count should be a bit higher though, given that it's an open map quest, and as I'm also well aware there are more constipated servers than Hyperion for something like this.

But...but...that's impossible. Wait for a few days (or even 24 hours) before I get my new stuff to show off? Impossible! I must have it before everyone else, even if it means running into congestion and whining on the forums about it...

Yup I waited just did it today and took like 2 minutes to do (bomb part) and also said in a previous post that few days the event would be dead and I was right there was only one other person doing the bombs when I did them.

A 'fix' is completely unneeded. It really was never actually needed, a day or so of patience fixes the issue admirably.

Yea being on Balmung one of the biggest servers and there no one even doing the event anymore so not sure what the fix would do unless it was just a PR move.

Because doing things on day 1 is a very special kind of community feeling.

The hype, the knowledge that 100% everyone around is new to this, the masses of excited people around you making it feel like a real, living event.

Day (or weekend if the event starts on a friday) 1 is a very unique exciting communal experience that can't be replicated any other way or time. And everyone deserves to enjoy that one-time experience without some callous douchebags purposefully trying to ruin it for them.

(Whatever fix they bring now is already too late to preserve that, but it can still protect individuals from being griefed by individuals and that is absolutely valuable.)

Healing on the 2nd part especially, you can spam heal the npc's. XD
