Hi,
Let me start off by saying that I actually quite liked last weeks event, even if it was a day longer than intended. I thought it was original, and actually quite good and fun.
This weekend's event though... Yikes.
The Epic shopping spree event is just whatever. Doesn't seem like much if anything has changed from the regular epic event, so I'm not gonna touch on that one.
The other event, Forge Frenzy, is a joke. 100 arcane splinters regardless of what level your character is, is a pisstake. On my (relatively low level) main account, I need to find THREE HUNDRED stashes of 100 arcane splinters to be able to add a gem socket to an item.
Why is this event not gradually increasing the amount of splinters you get, depending on what level your account is? It's the case for stone and wood, why not for splinters and metal? This is supposed to be a "Special Event", by my calculations, I gained 11 stashes of 100 splinters today. That's 1.100 splinters, which means it would take me 9 weekends of this event, to be able to afford ONE gem socket upgrade on an item, not taking into consideration dismantling items.
In terms of dismantling items, I think the option to dismantle 15 items instead of 5 is a nice touch. However, in my opinion it would have been better to cap the dismantling for this event at 10, but offering double metal and splinters for dismantling an item.
This is just my take on it, you might disagree or agree, but in my opinion, the way this event has been executed thus far is quite poor.
