They choose it probably because its the easiest way to implement this event and because they have a free log in campaign going on right now and we are all running low level fates thus making those zones full again . (But poor newbies that are doing some fates only to be overrun by us oldies and standing no chance) I mean they still make hunts relevant again and again, so I am not surprised that they keep visiting a content nearly none want to do as a grind.

I do feel like the point about having the right minion out in the right zone seems to be not made too clear? I already sent two tells to some newer players that had the wrong minions out with one of them thanking me for that advice saying that he is new an later I gave him the tip to not summon his chocobo too. Not sure how many new or old players will try this event but will stop because they are frustrated with no drops (thus making a negative impact on this game for them) because they either have no luck even with the right minion out or reading it wrong and having the false minion out.
