Yokai Event

It was also completely optional.

Technically, yes - but for people who enjoy collecting mounts and minions to the point where that consumes a lot of their time and focus in-game? Not so much. I did it because I like collecting stuff - but it was very tedious and dull. The challenge could have come from something more engaging especially when the game already relies heavily on FATE's to artificially make certain items harder to acquire.

Bruh. I have everything at 60 and I grinded the 750+ fates to get the Whisper-go-go. I'm not complaining about this because it was my choice.

The Yokai producer wanted it to be difficult to obtain; instead, it was made extremely tedious but not difficult. But week one (even day one) everyone knew what the requirements were for unlocking and obtaining the hidden achievement mount. There was slightly over two months of time to do it. Obtaining it provides zero in game advantage, solely the satisfaction of getting that glowing mount.

What it boils down to is whether it's personally worth it or not. But saying the event killed the game is pretty much beside the point, as the event is not the game.

Was there really someone who had problems to collect all minions?
The grind started with the weapons.

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.

You think I did it for the mount?

Unless you really really wanted all those weapons, I don't see why else you would.

Gotta keep a grounded perspective. This is just a fanciful game. Missing out on a few digital items or phony achievements shouldn't eat away at you.

I did it for the achievements and because I like collecting things. Nothing Yokai related will ever see the light of day now that I have it all.

The grounded perspective is how I got through this event.

When the yokai event was announced, and I heard about what it entailed and the duration of the event, I looked at weapons I would never glam, a mount I would never ride, and an achievement I don't care to have checked off my completion log. So why do it at all? That has got to be the steaming question, right?

It's not the destination my friend, it's all about the journey. I did this for the experience, and never griped once about the grind. When I got my very last legendary medal, I actually got kind of sad knowing it was over. I met a lot of nice and fun players during the event, learned the rotations and skills of many combat classes which will go a long way to making me a better player, and while I can't take any of the weapons or flashy mount with me, I do take the experience and memories created during the event. That is why I did it.

I completed it because I saw this event as a challenge from the devs, and one that not every player would accomplish. I simply wanted to be one of the players who did.
