Disappointed in Youkai Watch

Spending an hour waiting for a Weeping City run disagrees with you.

I've encounterd long waiting times for Weeping during the last 3 or 4 weeks; I say its hardly the event to blame here (and even if: give it two or three days and everything will be back to normal... in your scenario: Spending an hour waiting)

While that may be true, for later in the week... on a Tuesday, after reset, queue times for Weeping City are generally a 5 minute max waiting period. Granted it did give me time to finish off the daily beastmen quests, I'm one who prefers to get the weekly lock content done as soon as possible so as not to forget and then run the risk of missing out on a drop. Selfish I know, but that's just the way I am.

I didn't say the event was specifically to blame here either, but it's easy to connect the dots to see where the majority of people are : FATE grinding for RNG content. I don't mind what people do, I really don't. I just get frustrated when I can't get something done during my set routine online is all.

Well, glad you said it yourself so I dont have to point it out: Yes, that is a very selfish attitude and not a good ground to complain about "new" content being added... and with all due respect - getting frustrated because there is an "error" in your daily online routine is YOUR problem and shouldnt SE prevent from releasing new content for the game (I consider the minions/weapons new content - even if they make us do old content for them). The reason I mention this is that the "logical" conclusion for the negative feedback on this event ("We dont want this!!!") would be not to do anything like it again. And now you may say "But thats what I want!" - but hold on! You really dont want events anymore? What else do you not want anymore? Maybe its just me but I feel the game would lose so much if they'd listen to people being all like "I dont want that. And I dont want this either. Or that."

So maybe a change of attitude on your side and a bit of loosing up would be more in order than telling SE not to throw in events anymore

[begin rant]
So being selfish in wanting to get something done is wrong? Where the Hell did I state, in any of my posts in this thread, that this event is terrible and for SE to stop doing them? Don't imply that I said that 'between the lines' either because I didn't. Honestly I don't even care about this event... I'm not for nor against it! You automatically see someone post their opinion and stance, then jump on them like a starving dog to a bone. Forgive me for having a set routine in place for when I play FFXIV. Forgive me for wanting to get things done. Forgive me for not jumping on the bandwagon and doing everything everyone else is doing because it's great.

Seriously though... I don't care about the events. At all. They may be fun and all, but I'm not fussed about them period. If other people like them, go for it and have fun. Just don't criticize those who either A: Don't like them or B: Just don't care good or bad regarding them. You made a baseless assumption that I was criticizing SE and the Event when I wasn't. If someone has their own personal agenda they want to complete in any game, then that is their prerogative and who are you to judge them for it? We all pay for our accounts and play how we want. If we want to do solo content, by all means. Want to do group stuff, go ahead. Jump headfirst into every event SE puts in, be my guest. However... you must at least acknowledge that not all players are of the same mindset as you and attack everything SE does. We all play differently than others. As I said before, I'm one who plays to a set routine... that's just who I am. A friend of mine, just does whatever they want regardless. You shouldn't criticize others for playing how they do if it does in no way affect you directly or indirectly. Otherwise, you're just as bad as everyone else attacking others just to feel good about themselves.
