    This might be a new record.

    There is NOTHING negative about this event, yet SOMEONE has an issue with it.

    Never fails!
    Actually there is. When it happens in Tranquil the attackers are coming from the north, which suggests they're coming out of Gridania rather than working towards Gridania. In actuality, they should be coming from the east in the first place, but it doesn't really matter since they have airships - but they shouldn't becoming from the north.

    Another problem is that the mobs are rank 25, which suggests its an event intended for low level players, but the playerbase of the game can't support completing the objective with rank 25ish players [aka, there aren't enough around], nor do they award exp for those players who do try to participate in the event. Ultimately it just ends up being rank 50s blowing through the mobs to collect the crystals.

    It's a nice attempt, but has some sloppy execution with it. I appreciate that they did it, but they just need to think the mechanics through further in the future.

    Actually, if you keep pushing them back up north, they eventually come from the path to the east (leading to Toto Rak) which leads me to believe they are connected in some way. So if you want logic, they are probably attempting to get a foothold on the camp just south west of their lines (which would be camp tranquil).

    Also, the mobs are not catered towards only r25. I fought in the event twice and both times the most i could handle at r25 were the hounds. The actual Hyur mobs were well into the 30s. And even if you are at r50, the farther you push back the attack, the more dense the enemies become. I watched an r50 push back an attack pretty far only to be completely overrun by the enemy because he was only 1 person (and i was too low to help)
