I think the event is fun and getting the elite is meant to be extremely hard and not for everyone. With them adding more task with higher point rewards I think getting elite isn't out of the realm for most if they are online every few hours during the day. Maybe because I played during beta and remember the spring event being even more stressful then this but I don't think this event is that stressful. Everyone handles things differently though.

This is a great event, especially for the first real event on site! Its interactive, and makes you think about the site. Gives you a reason to go around the town to do dailies. People need to remember the site is still very new and the staff are listening but be patient with they make improvements. Its not easy to code and readjust a website on the fly.
