Since you are spending resources on events

[Verecund]

Actually if all the "event team" can do is "events" then I suggest downsizing them, and replacing them with people who can instead fix core issues with the game.

Amen.

The only thing this game had going for it upon release beside the promise of a unique economic system (and I speak in retrospect on that bit..) was the visual appeal of the game and its engine.

This said, it is somewhat disturbing when we sit here 1 year later with spell effects from 1-2 gens ago and an engine that is about as optimized as a one-legged runner, and the only responses are 'these aren't core issues.' Don't deceive yourselves in thinking this hasn't limited the kind and amount of content they can release at this time.
