Starlight Celebration 2024

So apparently we're only getting a barding, some housing items and an orchestrion roll. These feel so low effort.

Sasme low effort event every year, meanwhile in guild wars 2 we get races, ingame glamour to get with event currency, a buttload of achievments and events that will be filled with players all time around

What really irks me somehow (might just be a me-problem though) is that we barely get any new titles for those kinds of events anymore. Besides for crossover stuff, that is.
I dunno, titles like Half-boiled Hero/Heroine or how it's called in german "Eierlegende" ('Egg-legend'...it's glorious) were kinda funny and special. I miss them :(

Generally speaking, we get a clothing item from the event every other year.

I already own 7 christmas (sant/reindeer/snowman/choir...) glamours, decorated trees, snowy trees, indoor trees, white indoor trees, small trees, opened boxes, closed boxes, wreaths, wall/tabletops items, orchestrion rolls, mounts, foods, ice walls and walls, chocobo bardings, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Still, this year they made something I don't already own from past events.

- 1x choco-barding
- 2x tabletops
- 1x wall mounted
- 1x orchestrion roll

If 5 new items is "only" I fail to understand what's "enough"-

I consider GW2's events a different kind of bad. There's more, but most of the rewards are simply from previous years and a lot of it boils down to grinding currencies from activities that haven't been updated since 2018 at the latest.

Bardings are probably at the bottom of things I want anymore from these events.

I already have Christmas barding from another Starlight
Celebration. Don't really need any more Chocobo barding.

I think the bigger problem is everything is given after like 2 quest max where they could give slightly more but add like a special thing to do.

I still remember one of the Halloween event we got a special and unique way of doing a dungeon it was simple for sure but was still a change!
I am sad they didn't keep doing those

So we agree its still better than whatever shit ff14 devs do yea? I don't consider a quest line where you have to teach 9 kids in pairs of 3 what the christmas spirit is about by nodding at them, content. GW2 is griiiiiiindy sure but at least your busy for a couple more minutes
