In fact, I got the Blizzaria rod thinking it was this lovely snowflake design.... Only to see her cartoonish face set squarely in the center. Ugh. -

10-06-2016, 11:40 AMAmnesiaI certainly did. I'll never use those weapons (even for glamour)...Quote:

It's not the destination my friend, it's all about the journey. I did this for the experience, and never griped once about the grind. When I got my very last legendary medal, I actually got kind of sad knowing it was over. I met a lot of nice and fun players during the event, learned the rotations and skills of many combat classes which will go a long way to making me a better player, and while I can't take any of the weapons or flashy mount with me, I do take the experience and memories created during the event. That is why I did it.
I completed it because I saw this event as a challenge from the devs, and one that not every player would accomplish. I simply wanted to be one of the players who did. -

Why's that a problem? Blizarria is best waifu. -
10-06-2016, 05:11 PMGeminaI think you always knew where I was coming from, but also are aware that is a rare perspective to have on things. So it is understandable to respond as you have.Quote:

Once I heard what would be involved to get the items and the RNG that it would take, I resolved to not even start the quest. I didn't have much interest in Yokai, but this event would have made me needlessly angry, just as every other Atma-like FATE grind has done. Obsessive FATE grinding combined with RNG is this game at its worst, and I did not want to convey to the bean counters that I "enjoyed" the yokai event by completing it.
The next time Level 5 comes out with a game that sounds fun at first, I'll remember this, and their twisted idea of "fun".
