Summer Event

[DeadRiser]

Sorry but if you do nothing you deserve nothing. Simple as that.

Nothing we can do but send SE suggestions for next time.

I've sat at the bomb king for 30 minutes /sh for help before the 15 + people who were just sitting by the furnace decided noone was coming so they better help. Bottom feeders.

Same happened to us in Gridania. We decided to go a lot slower than we had been going... and here came the two lala's that had been feeding off of us the entire time. I /say "Oh not fast enough to your liking?"

I thought the whole event was too easy

1. Only people who participated by luring/fighting off monsters should get ashes
2. Maybe we shouldn't ALWAYS get ashes, but maybe..like..event food, a fan, whatever. Nice little stuff so we aren't all unhappy about not getting an ash, but at least you won't be done with the whole event in like 1-2 hours.
3. ..stronger monsters appearing?
I don't know, I'm just sad the event is mostly over already, because it was so unbelievably easy to get all the swimwear within an hour.
I know that's how the event is and it won't be changed now (wouldn't make any sense anyway), but I hope they make future events a bit more difficult so they can actually be enjoyed for a few days instead of a few minutes.

Despite me complaining, I liked this event for being creative, fun and..whatever, I liked it

Dear Final Fantasy XIV team,

Thank you for creating a lighthearted and fun event that many people I know are still enjoying immensely.

The event activities that bring players together through unstructured teamwork, the swimsuits, the Firefall Faire NPC stands and event areas, the wallpapers, the handheld and aerial fireworks, the large fireworks displays in the skies above the cities, and the festive music are all wonderful! ^^

Sadly, there are some people who are missing out on the purpose of having fun with this event.
While unfortunate, there really isn't anything you can do about it if they want to skip the opportunities for fun that you have provided.

It is their prerogative. And even if you try to make rules and systems to restrict them, they are still likely to seek out and exploit the path of least effort. It is just the nature of some people.
The rest of us must just learn to accept this fact of life and not let it deter us from having our own fun despite them.

Please keep up the good work on providing many varied ways for people to enjoy their time in Eorzea.
