Its a good idea in practice, but frankly I don't know how successful the event can be with a "Win only 1 drop a week" lockout on it. Even as a "Gearing up an alt class" mindset, its slow and clunky. It'd be nice if they did away with that restriction, or at least increased the number to something like 2 or 3.

Its not as bad as it could be, and while I support what Crystal Tower is as its a smart move, at the rate of 1 Item a week, It'll take you around 3 months to gear up on the Item level the current CT offers... I guess casual gaming means gating you as much as possible so you don't cry yourself to sleep at night knowing somewhere in the world theres an MMO player better geared than you because they devoted more time to the game?
