When I waited for the event to be released I was so excited. I thought this was going to be an epic adventure, and that I could finally get the Selfless potion I have wanted ever since I realized that I didn’t get it during the last event. The more I participated in the first event, the angrier I got. It was nothing like what you guys are known for. As many have pointed out already the lack of xp, karma, drops, anything really, made the event an underwhelming grind with the “first myself and then myself” mentality that other games struggle with. GW2 wasn’t that game before this event.
I stopped doing the events until the all clear was given about the bug. I got back into it today and I was just angry the whole time I participated. The reward prices are too high and the blossom rewards are too low. On top of that you gave us 4 days to do it. Why?! Why am I forced to stay in the event for 30 minutes if I want a reward at all? People have lives, not everyone can stay the full 30 minutes. Why shouldn’t every minute count for something, even if it’s just a small chance to get a blossom or two as a drop from mobs?
My friends asked me why I was doing the event when they heard me complain about it. I didn’t have an answer to why as it seemed getting the selfless potion would be impossible since I have a life outside GW2. So I stopped.
Second time around for that stupid potion and I’m missing out again.
