Halloween event has started!

[Vahzl]

Oh my God! We have been over this already!.

The games, while both being MMORPG's, treat seasonal events differently!.

Yeah but come on, go speak to an NPC, then find another random spawned NPC, gather cookies, and hand them in.

It's like being in pre-school.

I am the last one to compare every game element to WoW, but my word they could have at least made the effort, look at the majestic Hallows End event in WoW, there is TONNES to do, same as RO, same as Rift, and even Guild Wars.

The FFXIV event is poor.

Sooo no pumpkin hats? Well, skipping another event -_-.

[Aleczan]

So is there any other rewards than cookies?

You collect enough cookies and trade them for rewards at the quest giver.

I've seen people walking around wearing Pumpkin hats. I think hats can be obtained through trading cookies to event NPC.

Oh right, the cookies-trading-reward are Pumpkin Head.

Yeah, would be a shame but I guess FFXIV dat moded itself that I see so many people with them on.

(Do the event.)

[Vahzl]

The pumpkin hats are the event rewards people.

You get one for 3 cookies, one for 10, one for 30 or so, and one for 99.

The WoW event is pretty bad, it's just a token/daily quest grind for rewards. I was actually just doing them and came to the realization that it's not worth doing anymore because a year from now it won't mean anything because most of the community is going to leave it in mass for TOR, GW2 and possibly FFXIV according on if the 2.0 changes stay on schedule.

Anyways it's better to compare the FFXIV and FFXI (FFXI has the best events out of any MMO) events. I expect they will eventually redo the events, and I seriously doubt something like the current events would be permanent.
