Why make the event occur on Overflows?
so people can get the daily achievement without having to wait 6hours to get into the main instance?
For somepeople that want achivments to get wings and they don’t have time to wait 3 hours to get into main server.

Except the daily is just to do any world boss (or attempt Tequatl).
Though, I do get the point of trying to get the other achievements. That said, the boss ones will be around for a while and the ones obtainable by failing overflows will be obtainable by failing main maps in the future. The rest of the Boss Week achievements do not even require fighting Tequatl.
Because people asked ArenaNet to do it. They thought that maybe down the line a overflow can do it. Or to allow large guilds to organize and beat it on a overflow.
Tequatl was killed on overflow before last patch came in (well, actually when last patch arrived). If our main server is full, we organize and have people join same overflow – it’s easier than actually waiting x hours for a chance to get back on our main server.
Or a better solution, why not just end the event now.
I spent over 2 hours just trying to login to the game just to get kicked over and over and most of the times the game client times out. Now, tech support seem to believe that this is only happening to me and it had nothing to do with the new event but if you can get to an overflow, you should take your blessings that you can play. And by the way, after the event was over, now I can login. I guess that is thanks to tech support because they looked at my account, and immediately fixed the bug that is isolated only to my game account.
They should end this event now. That is just fair.
