Alfgar's Event and Imperial Assault - Why did you make them "random" events?

They will be making them happen more often in the future, they have already said this.

They will also likely continue after 2.0's release.

"There are other live events besides "Lamb of Dalamud," but how many and what they are, is a secret.

While there are players that would like to participate yet have not yet been able to, that is tied to the nature of this event."

Ah makes you glad we are now PAYING for content we would like to participate in yet have not been able to cause we either a: dont know about it or b: se is making it so random you have to camp multiple spots all day in hopes u may just find one of these elusive events.

Because they have been repeatedly requested over and over again by poster after poster.

That Dev response is the biggest load of BS i have ever seen in my life.

Players want to participate, Stop making these events so damn exclusionary. It's not fair to anyone.

Actually its equally fair to everyone. Its as far as possible, as statistically, everyone has an equal chance to randomly participate.

OMG I bought a lottery ticket and didn't win, clearly it is unfair and riged.

I just think with the playerbase as it stands, they don't really need to worry about crowding of content...

All I'm gonna say is... I just spent like 5 hours standing in Ul'dah hoping this NPC would pop. Yes I chose to do this and have no one to blame but myself but I am slightly put out that it did not appear. I think tomorrow I shall remind all my LS that if they see these guys to let me know.

These kind of events should remain random as well imo. That gives to Eorzea the sense of "living world" in continuos change and with surprises here and there. Expecting something i surely know that HAVE to occur in that known date and place is not so fun for me (except the seasonal or common events that everyone in the world know). The only thing i could ask is to make these events less rare but oh well..

The fact you had nothing better to do to wiat 5 hours for a random event to hopefully happen is a sign to me that the other content of the game isn't good enough to attract your attention.

Events like this reinforce the idea of a living, breathing, changing world, instead of everything being canned and served up to you on demand like in most MMos these days. It's more immersive, you can't be in every place at once and experience everything at once, it's more like an alternate reality that way.
