This is exactly like all the previous events, and somehow even worse. I... don't know if I should type out the sheet of text again, because I did it before, we all did it before, and it led nowhere. I don't have to join discord to say something (and probably get banned from it even when I'm extremely civil and polite, just for criticism).
This is grindy, this is frustrating, the communication with the staff is non-existent, literally not present. The anniversary (and the events in general) is the time for fun activities, gifts, new features, - not for stressing out about timers, about grind, about GIVING something away at a rate that will break your wallet and possibly the economy of the game. Are you trying to push people out? Because it seems that way, either that or you just won't listen to anything that is not "wow great".
Please listen to us. Please talk to us.
