Complaints Concerning the Yokai Watch Event

They are not going to make this easier.

This is content that supposed to distract players for 2 months. Super dedicated players can do it in a few days, but more casual players can probably get it done in that time. Personally, I'm using it to level my MCH in between dailies. Got 4 weapons so far.

Then you should be accustomed to mindless and all but unending grinding.

Well it sure as heck won't change if you just accept it as it is.

That is very true, and I have seen things change in this game due to customer reaction, but this event is a very temporary thing. They probably thought about it long and hard, and decided they just needed something to fill in the time till 3.4. I guess in their eyes, this was the most effective option with the tools they had.

Yeah, I was doing bare minimum (Which was wrong as I added an extra 15 medals from it) if you got so lucky to have it drop every time. It's not really going to be that special, most people who want and are willing to spend time on it will have it in a month or so. Any idea of it being super duper unique and special is a misplaced one.
I don't get why it's an issue making it easier. Do you get irritated when you see folks running around with High Allagan armor or Replica Dreadwyrm stuff because it took folks so much time and effort when now it's much easier to get?

I have less of an issue with things taking ad infinitum if it wasn't suppose to be a fun crossover event for two months only. I'm not apart of any FC at the moment and even then, I don't think most people want to spend time running around doing FATEs. It's not hard, it doesn't really require much effort either, it just takes shoving your face into an unfun grindstone and not getting sick of the game by your hundredth FATE in a row. I also don't see how doing an additional 222 FATEs is "playing the regular game", if I've gotten through the regular game just fine by doing much less.

I have never mentioned "Instant Gratification" in any sort of a context, this is why I specifically asked for folks to drop the "Everyone but me is entitled" mindset as it sets things off into a bad direction that's either meaningless to talk about or just plain wrong. I don't see why 222 fates bare minimum is considered "Instant Gratification" when at level 60 I've done just about that much over the span of several years. Grinding the FATEs would still take plenty of time and is hardly "Instant", you'd just make it less of a pain in the butt.

All I'm saying is it's not really a ~*~Super Special Rare Item~*~ if anyone can get it over time, but it's also not something that's particularly enjoyable to get. It's just an annoying pain in the butt. I get difficulty, grinding 222 fates should be difficult on its own, I don't get why that's not difficult enough for some folks or the dev team. Seriously, it's either "This is some super duper special item that only the most dedicated players get, so no thanks" or "It's not hard, just get a group and shut up",

You're right. My choice of words for "instant gratification" was not very appropriate.


What I meant by "playing the regular game" is that this is "not playing the regular game". This is a special event. Therefore, to complete it, players must go beyond playing the regular game to obtain limited edition minions / weapons / mounts.

Who said anything about being part of an FC?
I said "party finder". Look at the Party Finder tool. Aren't there several groups of people doing FATES for this event? At least in my server there are tons.
If there are not, you can take the initiative and create one. Make a group, invite 7 people, plow through FATES one hour a day and you'll get the items you want.

I understand many people complain it is not fun. But are most things in this game which require tons of effort to get fun? Is Anima Weapon fun? I've never heard anyone say it is.
But most people do it.

How about the achievement of "Gather 20,000 HQ items as a miner"? That certainly does not seem fun at all. Should we make it only 10,000? Or should we make it so the chance to receive an HQ item is higher? Say 50%?

Yes, it would be easier. But the reward would not match the effort.
