I actually got to do the event today. I earned 42 tickets for something that took like 10 minutes of work. I think it's 50 for the earrings. So yes, since this is what it is, I can appreciate that we got a little taste of what 1.0 was like with monsters in the city, I can see why 1.0 veterans would be a bit miffed by this.

Still, even with this event, I think we can never come close to replicating what those players felt, both when they finally got the earrings and when the servers shut down. It's not a bad event when you can actually do it, but it's just kind of like a sliver of 1.0. It didn't really feel like we were looking back much at how far we had come.
