Lost Shores, no reward then?
I’m pretty sure they said it would take some time to get a system for this in place.
Blackgate
Had the same issue and if not for my budies I really had no wish to play again, they told me Anet was going to solve the issue but their late response does not help.
I really hope they don’t make the event again, was absurd and not to be repeated.
Events “one time thing only” should be independent, short timed and spaced with a few or 1 hour of being repeated, would only happend on a weekend but should be in such way, players could actually enjoy and not stress about, and in case of fail you could try again and actually get a proper reward!
