    It's not hard. I used my lvl 30-40 characters to do it (who are now 45 and 50) and enjoyed myself. Any time I wasn't enjoying myself, I tried another zone or just did something else. I wasn't in a particular rush, but I liked it so I kept doing it. Got my glowy mount this morning.

    i don't think anybody was honestly saying it's hard. it's just that the event is very underwhelming and could have been a lot better than 99% of it being fate grinding and semi afk. its honestly not that good of an event is you spend most of your attention watching a video or something than actually particapi9gn in the event

    The OP said it was too hard to wait for Legendary ones, and he wanted a drop every fate. Yawn. That would have been even more boring.

    how would that be more boring? if by doing the amount of fates you know you need vs doing 600+ fates, maybe more with RNG somehow makes it more appealing then I am probably not the target audience for this event. I am not defending the op and saying "its too hard" because it's not. I will., however, still say that the even is as lazy as you can make them. its quite literally just sticking the event into fates because we don't have enough of those. even if your right and one legendary medal per fates makes it more boring we still have the issue of the event being boring at all.

    P.S: no I am saying i want t "instant gratification" the event could have been made twice as long and I would still do it. my point is the event is very lazily executed.

This is a crossover limited time event and yet it's comparable to atma grinding, which was for end game weapons at the time, and plenty of folks still saw ATMA grind as a ridiculous pain in the butt. I fail to see how doing 222 fates instead of the ~800 is asking for instant gratification, when at level 60 for my main job with some various other jobs leveled for cross class purposes, I only had roughly 250 fates already done from my time spent playing the game. I'm glad you can some how carve time out to do it, but please understand not everyone can do it, nor is everyone somehow willing to 800 fates for a limited time event that's just grinding at fates.

    Also lol at thinking "this genre is on its deathbed" because players dislike ridiculous levels of grinding for limited time events.

    It's not hard nor have I ever said that it was hard, but it's a tedious pain in the butt that I'm surprised anyone could enjoy themselves with. But hey, glad you find paint drying enjoyable again once you change the color of the paint, that's definitely not an ability a majority of players have.

    Never mentioned it was "too hard", just a tedious boring pain in the butt that could effectively be much less painful. I don't see how doing 222 fates is seen as boring, but 800 is a fun walk and exciting walk in the park.

    God, it's like people don't even bother reading past the first few words in my original post considering some of the responses.. also laughing at someone calling me "entitled", good job using a useless buzzword buckaroo.

    The "event" wasn't exciting. It was a grind, but that's what the guys at yo kai wanted. It was a bit mindless, but there's ample time to do it, and no reason to rush. If grinding fates bores you that much, do a few a day. Say 'Ok, I'm going to get 3 medals today" and go out and do fates for an hour, and move on. Don't come to the forums and cry that it's "too long" and ask for it to be nerfed a week into it. That's ridiculous.

    Funny thing is, even if your goal is 3 medals per day you still won't have enough to get all the weapons by the time event ended.
