Aren't holiday quests a waste of development time and effort right now?

I can agree on some level with the OP in her assessment of holiday quests, and I also understand the "tough love" she's offering to the company and the player base by proxy. This game has gotten off on the wrong foot...well...both feet, heck the game fell out of the bed and hit its head on every piece of furnature on its way down. This of course was in full view of the public which was eagerly awaiting it's presentation... A game's image is extremely important, and do I think that SE will stop making holiday quests, no. It DOES however, make say, Joe Non-player look at the game and say, so what's new has been done? Well, we have this neat Eas...err..Egg Hunt. Cool, says Joe Non-player, can I use these eggs as some sort of magical font to call some sort of mystical Bunny NM with glowing fangs and eyes the shape of Dice? Well..no...you..umm...just...collect the eggs... Oh..well, guess I'll keep playing WoW sayeth, Joe Non-player.

People have problems with SE's timeline, simple, the fact that they should or shouldn't have problems with such things is beyond the scope of discussion.

This is heavily assuming that the Easter Egg Event is the 'bulk' of the next patch. Somehow, I severely doubt that 70% of the patch is JUST a seasonal event. It was a side note among many. And of course SE's *new* schedule was and will be heavily effected by the earthquake and to demand that they be just as productive during such a crisis is unreasonable, selfish, and, frankly, insulting.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that they're trying to hide from you that the easter event IS patch 1.17, and the "preparation for PVE content..." is buzzwords for "we don't really have a whole hell of a lot else still other than minor tweaking.

If they had something more than eggs, they would have led with more than eggs folks. You have to learn to catch them on their bull****. You are letting them fail this game as hard as they please.

You truly are mostly just full of yourself, aren't you?
