Quality over Quantity request: Seasonal events

[royox]

Summer event is here and...it's just talking to some npc, wander around getting one item and coming back. Tadá! You got your emote, see you in the next unworked and totally unpassionate seasonal event.

Since..i don't know, 2018 or 2019 the seasonal evens have been totally uninspired, just talk twice with some NPC, run around the city, come back and that's it. Looks like the devs are doing those things just because they have to and not because they want/care? So...maybe if instead of having so many small and pointless "season events" we had like...3 major ones (summer, halloween, winter...?) they would be better? With more interesting stuff and content? I remember the halloween one had us going to versions of Haukke Manor and solving some puzzles. Other events had some wierd fates involved scattered around Eorzea, in one we had to even play with some ingame toys...I don't know...maybe the word EVENT should really mean something more than "talk to 2 npc and that's it".

At this point it looks like they doing this kind of stuff just so they have an excuse to put those cosmetics in the mogstation in the future. A shame.

I mean these events are mini advertisements for the older items from previous iterations with no substance. I'm not surprised. Look forward to next year when this year's stuff will get slapped into that event.

You know what's the worst part ? We don't even have the quantity

Funny...I seem to recall people whining about holiday events taking too long back when they were lengthy.

You think people would learn to not wish on the SquareEnix monkey paw, but they just can't seem to help themselves.

I don't recall this being a prevalent complaint ever.
If there was one or two shouting about it, they certainly aren't the majority.

I went in with low expectations and they met them. Expecting a lot from a seasonal event is crazy,

The summer event in GW2 is going on right now that includes two zones, a meta event, like six daily race challenge events, a scavenger hunt, a platforming challenge treasure hunt, a PVP/WVW reward track with boxes that drop rare loot.

Expect more from a game you're paying for monthly.

I had to learn the hard way that complaining until you get what you want is the true meta. Forget adapting. Forget accepting. Forget putting in a ton of work. I wouldn't be surprised if these events were made just to show that this is what people was asking for. Oh well.

Events should be EVENTS, not a couple of sidequests with a little prize at the end. Yo kai is a good one cuz it's more than just talk to NPC one, then follow the breadcrumbs back to NPC one.
