Sorry I misread your post (and seemingly edited to late since you still got my old quote). Yes the optimum for me would be the same amount of events that we have now but longer. But since somehow nearly every last event was really short I just get the feeling that SE is not able to give us longer events with the same amount that we have right now. Thus why I would find it better if we have less but longer ones. I know that this balance is not that easy but I still wanted to post my view on this.
I for example liked the Egg ones with the different kind of mini games. Or one of the old summer ones where we got different mini games too. (The one with the smei like dragon) Also I do enjoy the halloween one or the one with the murder.
I just find it bad that the make it rain event gave us everything with one quest...we did not even need to grind for that low amount of MGP..the winter one was often a daily event yet this time it was just fates again. Heavensturn was much more fun when we had go around and atleast do something more than clicking a pot in one fate..heck they also had just one item to buy (next to food) and this was with Gil.
I just want less cutscenes that take most of the time for the event and more time playing the event itself. I dont want grinds like the Yokai ones but I also want more time investment in an event than just one fate thus minutes. Give us the main price after maybe running the event five times. This way all those people that dont want to play it or have time to can still get the main thing. For example they could give us five mini games and you have to complete one each for the item. (And yes they should be mini games..not some fates...or at least some fun fates like the spriggan one) After that people can decide if they want to grind for other things. So give us more rewards, like minions, housing items, fire works and stuff like that but dont put them too cheap into this. (But also not too much) This would also at least explain why housing items are that expensive in the mog station..because they might have taken the people some time to get in an event instead of just putting a couple more minutes behind it and buying everything else already.
If we then had longer events people could still grind for that, we would have stuff to do and all those that dont care about it could still get their main price in a reasonable amount of time. But cutscene heavy events that last half an hour max are just not something that I find that fun. (But that just my opinion on this)
Or people will write their opinions about this on the forum (which is the place to do so) with the hope that maybe it would get improved so that everyone could have fun with that. (Making it completely stop might not be the best idea but other people already got some suggestions) I am quite sure that you recently wrote in another topic that you disliked something. Why write that if you just can go on and just ignore it?
I love the haunted house even if they reused it because its just fun. Going into this, trying to solve the problems, having a good laugh at being turned again and you could go in there for a bit because they had at least some items to buy. So if they would introduce more of such houses with different themes and maybe different mini games I would be fine if they use them in the different events. Just change some mini games for some time or introduce a new one or something and it should be fine. Give us some nice amount of items to farm for and this would be near perfect for me.
