Complaints Concerning the Yokai Watch Event

[Samcaesar]

Bumping this thread again, this event continues to be a pain on my alt with my work/sleep schedule :\ I'm also pretty annoyed that if you're under like, 45 or so this event is made all the more annoying due to the popularity of beast-tribe orientated zones such as Outer and Western La Noscae.

Western La Noscea has a lot of low level FATEs. I think all minions have at least one low level zone you can use.

I think the real reason the drop rate is what it is and the event is stretched out over however many months is to make starter and ARR areas look populated and alive for that amount of time, therefore attracting players on their trial to pay to continue their adventuring. While the vets are fate grinding in used to be dead areas, SE is getting new subscriptions.

Yeah I'm aware, the problem is you can't really join FATE parties in those beast tribe zones if you're ~45 as no one wants a tag along who can't help do half of the FATEs in the area. Plus, due to the popularity of those Beast tribe zones, the lower leveled areas end up much more vacant and you're left grinding FATEs by yourself.

Oh yeah that's definitely one of the major theories to the bad design (imho) of this event. That and the friend Yoshi-P has in Level 5 wanted it to be a real "challenge" to get it, and challenge translates to tedious and boring grinding.
