    The Moonfire Faire Is A Bust

    Last year, I really enjoyed the fact that the Moonfire Faire centred around the use of fireworks and the varied ways they could be used. It made the experience very enjoyable, especially when obtaining the Bomb Dance at the end.

    This year, we are reduced to pummeling pirates and making fish and chips? Plus, on top of that, where are the fireworks displays that went off in the evening? Not only that, but now you have to be at a minimum of Level 30 instead of Level 15.

    All told, I was done the Moonfire Faire events in less than 20 minutes. When I have done other Seasonal Events, they last for about an hour because the time was taken to ensure that the experience was enriching. Sadly, this time, that was not the case.

    Unless, we are going to get another Lightning Returns event like we did with last year's Moonfire Faire, I am done with it for this year.

    Sorry, SE, I have thoroughly your Seasonal Events in the past, but this time... You. Failed. Miserably

    Not just in housing areas; I saw them yesterday while I was in Gridania. I'm assuming you can see them on 2.0 areas, but I guess Ishgard and surrounding areas don't observe Moonfire Faire.

    That's the great thing about opinions. They vary greatly.

    Personally, I'm having a blast interacting with the community around Costa del Sol, dancing, fireworks, and peddling my fish.

    Just last night we attempted a perfectly synchronized /bombdance line.

    Shame that people who missed the event last year and aren't shelling out on the cash shop can't join in!

    Not to mention that by removing that particular quest and placing the rewards in the cash shop, the already incredibly short event was made even shorter.

    Be careful what you wish for folks, you just might get it.

    Events changes every year, even with no cash shop. Summer event 2015 (shortly after 3.0 launch) have around the same content as summer event 2013 (shortly after 2.0 launch). Except that this years summer event have 1-2 FATE types more and give also fishers and culinarians something to do. I just wish SE would bring a FATE for the event where we fight the enemies with /emotes again.

    So long the event is not about we clicking on bells for mats to craft our event gears ourselves everything is ok ^^

    Personally I'm loving it too. Could it be better? Of course it could, everything could be better.
    But I'm loving this event.

    Only thing I disliked about it was the whole having to accept the quest over and over to trade fish for tickets. I don't see why once the first quest was finished we couldn't have just traded the fish without the quest.
