Quality of Events > Quantity of Events

[weeble]

i enjoyed some of the events in ffxi, at the least for the first time then i didn't do them again. shame they can't change every year to boot. but they should make them better, i get the issues with game so, hopefully next years events are different.

truthfully no event or side games like choco races, or the collesium, or the pvp in ffxi was ever anything truely enjoyable. or done so bad it wasn't worth doing. tons of players doing the pre requisites for these things, then in a month they are dead and empty. mmo's need to find a new way of doing them ..they are a waist of resources in my opinion. theres gotta be a better way, i would rather go play a offline game then do any of it.

pvp games kinda get away with it, theres aren't that fun either, but.... u get to kill people trying to do it all day. theres 24hr battles around the events happening and like warhammer they add new battlegrounds in some of theres. that was entertaining for awhile.

i'd say we need a little more in pve events, not something just tossed together. maybe start allowing other people make them, or use them for others to commercial there own mini games that are offline and add them in mmo's with ffxiv twist. i dunno, but either way also rewards worth getting too. Chocobo stables scarfs were great for first 2years in ffxi, port u right to choco stables from anywhere, and that was b4 any easy porting was in game. stuff like this.

maybe add zones only open during events, where new mobs are there and bonus sp given there ...so everyone is there grinding for the weeks end. killing things in that zone can give u rewards, kill 1k of each type of mobs and get 1 reward and so forth. then event ends and that zone is closed for good. eventually they can open it again for event again, have many of these an switch em up a bit and this can be entertaining events. add snow mobs to the winter one and so forth. snowmen an tree's are in the zone and what have u. even instanced version of this ...if seems to much work like i'm thinking now lol. heck even the bonus's in the reg world. anything sound more entertaining then emoting a fire bomb witch i did for 5 seconds and quit.
