Yokai Event

[ElasmoFan]

While it may be optional, I don't think that excuses making it a long and tedious fate grind. I just hate that a lot of the time their default for something being "difficult" or "taking time to get" seems to default to fate grinding. I have no problems with something being hard to taking time but it seems like almost everything goes right back to fates, especially events. Even for a fate grind, this seemed a little over the top.

Or another option for "dufficult/taking time to get" is to lock it behind old raids, like Wondrous Tails. It'll be like Blizzard upset people aren't running Icecrown Citadel any longer so they make current content that makes you run it .

Far as I'm concerned, "optional" has become an excuse the game industry likes to throw away to dodge criticism. Yokai is particularly egregious as we basically had a content drought throughout August and their solution was this event. If one good thing came from it, I finally picked up Saints Row 2 again. Needed a chill game after RNG hated me.

I think you have the right of it. It's not just the industry either - it's something many consumers have come to parrot as well. As much as I enjoy the game and despite having a disposable income I'm finding myself increasing worried as a collector of minions, mounts and interesting glamour. Why am I worried? Simply put I dislike the rate at which interesting items are cropping up on the Mog Station as 'optional purchases' instead of being available in-game. I'm also not a fan of content being tedious for the sake of being tedious which is pretty much what the Yo-Kai event ended up being.
