That's a ridiculous assertion in a subzcription game.And that's why i quoted it. The ponies drop rate is still lower than legendary medals even after the buffs. Just commit to the grind or you don't want the mount hard enough.
I sincerely hope they don't do anything, because as you said: it's a limited event. Not everything has to be able for everyone, especially on a MMO.
You most likely already have the minion one anyway, which is essentially the same.
Look, I'd be fine with the drop rate if it wasn't a limited time event and I could just spend the rest of my time grinding on it off and on, but it's limited time. I still don't get why a "fun and silly" crossover event requires like 30 hours worth of boring dull FATE grinding in order to get everything or why 222 fates (Which again is like 11 hours worth of effort) isn't enough. I mean, is that your response to the dev team chiming in at some folks going "Uh hey the 3rd quest for the moonfire faire is busted, can we have a fix?", saying something like "Snipe those bombs harder, otherwise you don't want the emotes/armor/whatever enough".
Plus the actual phrase "It's a limited event. Not everything has to be able for everyone, especially on a MMO." is incredibly arguable, especially when by in large a lot of people don't have issue with the "difficulty" of this event, just the fact that they'd be spending upwards of 30 hours grinding the same old boring FATEs and it's not enjoyable in the slightest.

The bombos quest is different. It was broken from the get go. Fates grind isn't.
Also:
What do you prefer:
Having to do 700 Fates with an approximative 30% drop rate ?
or
Having to do 700 Fates with a 100% drop rate but with the weapon prices adjusted to reflect that ? ( remember the event is meant to last 2 months )
Regardless, we won't find an agreement about how the event should be or should have been. There is no grey area here.
I managed to do it on an alt and I'm on Hyperion, the place was swarming with people. If I can do it, so can others. See how that sort of rhetoric works?
Also, good job designing an event that lasts 2 months when some folks (Who I'm sure are just brimming with willpower because I don't know how else anyone is going to do this thing) have done it in a few days. It's a dull crap event and folks don't like it.
Seriously, what is wrong with 11 hours worth of grinding? Why is it so important that this event takes upwards of 30 hours? Why shouldn't it take 11 hours to get the mount?

Not sure where the "222" fates idea is coming from.
many people posted ~700 fates with drop rate about 30% to obtain all L. Medals... Which is absurd IMO.
who in the right mind want to grind 700 fates after grinding fates since release years ago? I think players should all cancel sub for 2 months just to teach SE not to pull one of these BS again.
It takes 222 legendary medals to get all the weapons, they want it to be 100% drop rate which would be 222 fates if they changed it. I completed them all and it took me 720 fates.Not sure where the "222" fates idea is coming from.

The 222 FATEs figure comes from the bare minimum amount to get all the medals for the weapons. 7 + 9 + 11 + (15 x 7) + (30 x 3) = 222. At the 30% drop figure that makes 740 FATEs, which lines up with that ~700 figure. However, I'm also curious if folks get that amount by counting up leftover regular medals (As that's how I've seen folks count it), because if so, that means the actual amount should be 740 + the amount of regular medals taken to get all the minions, which pushes the percentage lower to more like 25%.Not sure where the "222" fates idea is coming from.
