Nailed it tbh.
If OP mentioned his grievances to the devs, Yoshida himself would probably be surprised anyone was even paying attention to event cutscenes. The story op described (there's a major event happening and we have to go around recruiting people for some element of it) is the same in all of these seasonal events and it's a wonder anyone even considers them events imo. They could just save themselves the effort and send out mogmail with the reward attached and there'd be like 3 people upset about it and they probably wouldn't even be able to articulate why.

For people playing longer than 1 expansion who enjoy this style of events: why? What part of walking from 1 npc to another for 11 minutes and then maybe doing a level 15 FATE for a niche reward you might not even use is particularly enjoyable to you? Everyone I know just does it so they can have a limited item before it ends up in the mogstation for 3 dollars in a year. Literal definition of fomo, fear of missing out.
