This minigame is conceptually so much more interesting than another job to level and ignore.

Dunno, some pleople would probably loved play it in every content the game as to offer far more than only in a mini-game finished in a month or so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nobody even ask for the mask carnival to not be implented, why not have both ?
