Yokai Event

[UnaLihzeh]

I'm just glad its over. Maybe I can use fates to level again instead of having hoards of people with 220 item levels finishing level 15 fates in 20 seconds. :|

Let me see if I can put this into perspective. While technically optional, for some people not finishing the yokai event was absolutely not an option as soon as they got on that long arduous road. For these people, not completing the event would just eat away at them like some kind of psychological cancer. Similar to what someone goes through when they don't finish a diploma, but unlike school, the event is done. There's no going back to finish what you started. Sometimes, people eliminate their own options.

Eventually, coming to terms happens and you move on, but until that happens it is a really nasty feeling to have.

It's just a digital ghost scooter dude.

I skipped the event because I find FATES to be one of the lowest forms of content the game has, particularly if it doesn't even add new ones and just has you grind normal ones for drops. Difference is I didn't get all pissy about not being able to get all the rewards for it. Learn from me.

Considering the level sync, their gear wouldn't matter much.

Same. It's odd how the less you care, the more fun you have (typically).

As much as I hated this event and everything FATE related, I do believe that the reaction the OP has it's a little too exagerated. Afterall while the event is atrociously bad with nearly zero commitment involved into making it interesting, it was still optional and the time given was quite large.

Good thing I played YW way before this event: I must say that I would've probably avoided the game too, if this was the case.

Way to promote an amazing game!

I've fully completed every event since 2.0 launched, until this one. The prizes are are almost offensively bad, but I still regret that my 100% event streak has been broken because this event was so tedious that it killed my spirit.

THEY POISONED OUR WATER SUPPLY, BURNED OUR CROPS AND DELIVERED A PLAGUE ONTO OUR HOUSES!1!!

THE SICKNESS MUST BE PURGED!

Yeah, I know it was optional, but i'm someone, who needs everything completed, especially when it's just there, waiting to be finished. But it really killed my spirit; it was literally the only thing I did, whenever I logged in for the first days of the event, thinking it will be just like the other events. I had to stop and didn't renewed my sub for a month. I read that it's not SE's idea for this event to turn out like this, but YW's?

Speaking as someone who was in your position similarly years ago, take this opportunity to re-evaluate how you look at completionist mentality, at least when it comes to MMORPGs. If you must, without any question, get everything, then you need to learn to pace yourself accordingly.

Even when people say to spread out the grind, that's not always helpful, as might be your case. Some folks come out unscathed from non-stop grinding in as short of a timespan as possible. Others won't. Sometimes, no amount of pacing will help you avoid the burnout. That is where you need to learn when to stop, if burnout or distaste is not an acceptable outcome lol. Clearly you stopped too late, but that happens to everyone.
