Those cross over events were just...sad...

WoW sets the bar for events as pretty low, but they generally didn't make the whole ordeal painful. At worst, it's about the same as any other quest that you just hit 'accept' without having any idea what it's about. I find that one of the real offensive part of FF events is that the deliberate pacing pretty much forces me to actually read what the NPCs has to say, and it's dumb about 99% of the time. I'm sure WoW's dialogues are dumb too, but the difference is that I don't have to read them.

At least Shantotto left the door open for a sequel event, her whole cut scene was pretty ominous.

At least they're more fun than what FFXI did with the cross over event (and most events, if I recall correctly).

"Synced down to level 1. Hunt Spriggans for however amount of time. Do some RNG lottery nonsense and hope you get all the event items."

Erm, I mean the collaboration event? Duh.

I loved the cutscenes, they were funny and awesome and the fates were alright :)

Wandering Minstrel + Shantotto anyone?

Minstrel's Ballad crossovers could possibly be fairly fun.

Just hit accept without having any idea what it's about...yet it tells you when you pick it up. Sounds like you just didn't read the quest text. Then you go on to say FF14 forces you to read...what is this...I don't even...

They're not a replacement to long lasting content which this game needs. We have more than enough of these lvl 1 3-second diversion as is.

May I remind the dev team that many of XI's events had different difficulty option with different rewards? Why can't XIV eventa be fun for high level players too? It's not the lvl10s that have ran out of stuff to do.

The horse helmet event was well written but making it such a low lvl event made the actual "gameplay" pretty much pointless.
