Maybe I'm just grumpy re event...

But before I go to bed (not losing sleep on a weeknight for mediocre playtime), I fancy a *****.
I know juggling timezones is a challenge at the best of times - but too late for EU and too early for US isn't a particularly good idea. Weekends are definitely the way to go. (Excluding repeatable events discussed in that other thread, 'cept the posts seem to have disappeared; this one wasn't repeatable so that's fairly irrelevant anyway.)
Carbon copies are, to some degree, unavoidable - and not necessarily a bad thing. Not every experience has to be unique to be enjoyed. But please be more creative with the blurb >.< Upon reading about the giant kitin in Demon's Lap, my first thought was "Aww, shame we've done this before".
Thanks to Mokoi for doing Allort's communication for him
It would have been nice had that started earlier, but then, neither Mok nor the other CSRs involved were responsible for that really.
Please, shorter treks!!
First time round the group stayed together pretty much, and it got a bit boring because it was so easy - this time it seems everyone went in a different direction, and I imagine a fair few people died along the way, which is frustrating as those doing the trekking rather than porting are likely doing so because members of their group don't have TPs or spawns closer to the target than quite a few miles away. On a time limit it's even more frustrating, because you can't just say "Ah well, try again, we'll get there in the end!".
The event is very much appreciated, simply because it's an event, and we like those; but it seems like more careful planning and foresight could have made it awesome fun, whereas as it stands I'm left with a distinct feeling of "meh". Swap you six hundred grind wood for another crack at it. Maybe 700.
(Evidently I gave up mid-event, if they really pull something out of their hats in DL, someone screenshot it for me?)
