Valentione's Event!

Just wanted to say thank you for a really wonderful event! It's so much fun, and for once I actually WANT to do it multiple times!

I got the same result with him on two characters. We got a bit sad-faced, 'cause we've been friends for 6 years. ;u; Even the fortune teller said we better end our relationship right then and there. So cruel.

I don't know him, but helped him do the quest. I think my roe might turn into a gold digger. XD

The fortune-teller part is pretty fun, but the rest... I dunno. I started playing the game just before the summer event in Costa del Sol. I really liked it. Then the anniversary event blew me away. Even though I hadn't been playing long, I got a bit teary-eyed during the cutscenes. But after that the festivals just got a bit lack-luster. I'm not complaining about the halloween mount and minion, though. Maybe I'm just used to festivals where you have to grind to get the items you want. Like the summer one did. And not being able to get seasonal items I missed from past festivals, other than buying them in the cash shop, is rather disappointing too. Were the festivals in previous years like this? And do you all think this might be a new trend going forward?

I think I've only been unsubbed a week, and I'm getting my card ready to resub...

*no willpower*

The event looks so cute though :3

While the fortune teller bit was fun it was still another underwelming event with more underwelming rewards. Come on SE design a new outfit to go with the hat it's not hard.

It really is a disappointment, the hat is cute but I don't see the point of these events that are done in like 10 minutes. Maybe its because I am used to events being over the span of several days. Just seems like were getting simple "Go do this 1 thing, good here is your reward". I don't mind handouts but why decorate, make everything festive, NPCs just to have us ignore em after the first 30mins or so?

This! So much this! I feel the same way. And the furniture just doesn't trip my trigger much. Also the idea of items going POOF if we change houses or get kicked/leave a FC really stinks. I'd love to know who came up with this idea so I can smack them upside the head a little.

I think maybe the reception to long events weren't well received, hence the recent events are so short.

Heh. When someone asks me how the summer event was, I generally tell them to grind FATEs in northern thanalan and pretend every mob was a pirate. Though that's not quite authentic because in northern thanalan at least the scenery changes a little and the FATEs are more varied.

I personally like events as they are right now. But I also have two alts to take care of, so I generally go through them thrice.

I have five alts at the moment. *grins* I pretty much just do it once and that's it. At least that's how it was with the winter and now this event. The rewards just aren't worth it to me. I know it doesn't take long, but still. *shrugs* If the rewards were better, then I would for sure do it.
