Stop Making Heavensturn An Event

[Felis]

Sure they can. They just need to have an NPC in one of the three starting states that can take you to Ishgard or Kugane, and just have the players in an instanced version of the city.

Or put the event in every city region, like during 1.x

I stopped doing the Heavensturn events because I find the Bugyo and his obsessions creepy, and the helms, ugly. But that's just me. Party like we're all insane Lalafell Black Mages, mes amis!

You still couldn't do this because what if a certain player only has the base game and neither HW or SB, in terms of the data going in to an instanced version of Ishgard or Kugane would be impossible without the expac. The whole point of having the events in ARR areas is to ensure that every player has access to it regardless of what expacs they own.

This. (I'd like to see Ishgard and Kugane decorated)

I think it's more about people not owning Heavensward or Stormblood but SE still wanting to include them.

Let me pose this question, would you rather have New Flavor of Heavensturm, or nothing? I'm pretty sure as we speak they're testing/fixing/prepping 4.2 content and dropped dogensturm since it was an easy slap-patch for new content. Would you rather they just forgot it entirely and put everything toward the new stuff? It's a relatively small team doing this stuff, and you can only spare so many people when developing other game changing things like the new systems and content we're getting soon.

[Canadane]

Considering they've put out unique events during times where they've been under heavier work loads with lighter teams, I'd prefer both.

Yeah, too bad the 2015 (?) heavensturn event is being recycled again. But I really liked the Halloween dungeon so I am glad they brought that back this year.

They could still make a smaller, instanced copy of Kugane to do the event in, then decorate the real one to look like it.

Perhaps next year we will get a heavensturn event where you have to play hundreds of games of lord of verminion or actually beat the emergency mission in the diadem...
