Very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

A narcoleptic running a boulangerie would result in a lot of baguettes getting burned.

One question. Due webbed feet result from a dominant or recessive gene, just curious.

Hey Althorn, I like the instances alot. You can use mages, or bard/dexxers, or tamers. Many ways to beat the leppers work pretty well. And the caves are fast, full of action and available in abundance. You don't need 3 tamers vs. the risk of PKs. A stealther type thief would have no problems to defend himself or get through the leps, while the reds might be waiting at the entrance. The event itself is quite fun, imho.

My problem is more about the pressure to obtain the items/pets, as they are very much improving the gameplay. This isn't just about the normal bling-bling fancy rares, it's about whether you have +500 more tanking HP, +15-18 more Firebreath dmg, and +2 stealth steps (every stealther/thief will understand that this is a very desirable improvement and not just a small unimportant perk).

And so far, I have decided (or rather been forced) to ignore the items. I don't have the time to play hardcore and I can't invest the time or the money to buy them. But in contrast to the usual non-functional rare items, this time my ignorance will set my in a disadvantage to other players. That's the big difference this time.

I've been saying the same thing since day one of this event, and it's refreshing to see someone else voicing this opinion. It really doesn't seem right to me to be offering gameplay changing, build altering rares only for two weeks of the year. Seems to me like this really creates an environment where people with tons of money, or those who have the time to grind their face off on the event have a big upper hand that could actually make their characters long term superior to those who can't. This is like saying mask of the wild, and extra bond slots are only available to get during a two week period. This level of limited time rares should be left for vanity items, not gameplay changers. I'm not necessarily saying these things shouldn't be rare drops, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to pull these boots from an Amib chest?

Im really loving the gameplay of this event, and I am in fact one who can currently grind my face off on it. I've been doing it rogue style since day one on this thing. While I'm loving the gameplay, I think the boots and fluffys part is conceptually flawed. Anyway I just finished resting my face overnight, time to go grind it down some more.

Meh, maybe that's the gaff though... being unbalanced on purpose.

Maybe things are supposed to tilt one direction over another? Maybe being placed in the world as an underdog is part of the overall plan? Maybe having to carve your own place in this world and be there when big things happen, plan ahead, walk away a winner, and have some fun is what we're supposed to be trying to do?

Yeah I hear those points for sure. I've had moments during this event where I've even thought that way myself.

Love the event.

Love the civil discourse on how to make it better, and the effect the event is on the economy and game play almost as much.

@OptimisticSam idk all about civil< depends who you end up in a instance with
