Gotta agree with OP, UNLESS as some people have theorized, these mobs are impossibly hard on purpose to drive us away from the city. I realize this is the end of the world and that it should feel hopeless, and that we're not supposed to be winning anything, but it's also a live event that's lasting for ten days. There should be something in the event to make me want to log in, and right now there's no reason to, unless its to explore and say final good byes to 1.0. I logged in last night, and it was really fun, because while you died quite frequently, you were able to actually DO damage, and not just feel like your punching a wall. We were able to repel waves of monsters, and I felt like I was actually participating and contributing. I logged in tonight..and man...it was like..why even bother? I'll be here for the next 5 hours and I'll be lucky if any of these mobs go down.

That being said, if the point is to NOT fight the mobs, people don't seem to be getting the picture. No one was very interested in hearing about trying to figure out alternatives. It seemed to be just fight, do 10 dmg if you're lucky, die, return, rinse and repeat. I'm afraid what's going to happen is that people are going to just stop logging in, instead of trying new things to figure out if there's anything else to this event. Then there will definitely not be a reason to log in, because whatever we're supposed to be doing, I'm sure that it involves EVERYONE, not just a couple people.
