Guild Wars 2

I Started with my ele (same name etc. as in GW1, where I palyed Ele for 6 years)
When I got to lvl 25 I remembered the smashing fun I had in one of the PBE’s with my warrior.
I started then playing Warrior … this is now 2.5 months ago …. I never even touched my ele again.
I think most of the people will find it boring after some time, but even after the 5-millionsth. Hundred Blades I still have to grin every frickin time, when something dies to it. If its an PvE-enemy or an enemy in WvW.
So overall, it depends on your playstyle.

People are still crying because other guys got better loot… envy sux (my best piece of loot was worth less than 5g but you wont see me crying because other people had better drops).

It has nothing to do with envy, if you work 3h for an event and get loot worth of 2g and someone comes in last minute, hits boss twice and gets 2 precursors (YES; actually happened)
It just isnt fair to give few players loot worth of at least 1 month farming and teh other dont ….

For me, this event was a shame for Anet.
I played GW1 for about 5 years and I played GW2 since the first PBE started.
And it was awesome.
Getting the precursors was fair. Sacrifice 4 exotics for a random.
But getting rewarded with about 2 gold (Plus the box, which is awesome) for working 3 hours on an event and then someone comes to hit the boss 10 times at the end and he gets 2 precursors, worth 150 gold.
This is just wrong.
Normal people have to play half a year to get this amount of gold. And some people just get this free?
The second point is about Precursors, not money.
Handing them out in this masses seems not very good.
There was mentioned, that you want more ways to get a precursor: YES, please, but not like this.
Overall, the event itself was amazing, had a nice build-up and a cool little scene, more than teh dragonevents have
But I still feel very bad about this, I imagine how other players got 2 precursors … and I think I would also feel very bad about gotten one in th eevent too.
(For me, there is only 1 way to fix this: Delete the event and rewards and do it another time, because every future attempt will still leave most of the players 150 gold farmed behind these few who just got a higher randomized number, which is a LOT of farm/play/grind, which was, what Anet intent to avoid.)

I hope, the points came through, still an amazing event

I totally agree with the OP
I was participating and I got my exotics and rares and the box, which is already a huge profit for an event, tough it took 3 hours.
But then I see people, who just came by, hitting the last 10 minutes of teh karka and get 2 Precursors.
Seriously, WTF … I worked hard in every phase to kill this beast and I get what a 20 slot box and 2 gold, this is amazing.
But someone came to hit the Karke for 10 minutes, not even and got what … 2 Precursors (1 Dusk, so he will make about 150g) plus the 20 slot box.
This has nothing to do with envy, just with giving some people free reign of gold for which the others have to farm a lot. (150 isnt farmed in a week…)
