Alfgar's Event and Imperial Assault - Why did you make them "random" events?

[Jinko]

I think these rare events are something they are going to do throughout the game's life, and I think it's a brilliant idea to keep them rare. The only thing that makes them special is the fact that they are rare. If it popped every 30 mins or whatever it would be just another random event.

I am bummed that I missed out on some, but it only made the one I did experience all the more cool. I really can't see how increasing the frequency or certainty of experiencing them would make it better. JP side has a point that people should get something in return for their ticket, but I'd say they should get a lot more than rare events for that ticket. Would you buy a ticket to Disney land just to see Mickey Mouse appear for 5 minutes? lol

Problem is because the event is rare doesn't make it cool, I managed to do the Gridania cultist events and thought it was pretty much a waste of time.

I would like to get all the lodestone achivements for these mini events but that's not guna happen because try as I might I couldn't do the Emerald Moss one and I don't think that is active anymore.

Except it's not that random as people believe it is... it's a pretty trivial event with the only reward being an entry in the lodestone history which doesn't affect anything... not a +20 to all stats item, so why the complains?

It's the same as with GM reporters, SE replaced them with static npcs now, 3 mole meat and you get it for free. RPing was way more fun, so was figuring out the spawn times (they even been posted here on the forums).

You are under the assumption that people only do content to get stats and benefits, some people enjoy the storyline and just ....I duno doing something besides standing in town.

I'm the first to admit this content is pretty meaningless but its still fun to do if you got nothing better to do, problem is if you have nothing better to do it doesn't mean you have the opportunity to do it.
