Addressing In-Game Event Rewards (Holidays and Celebrations)

100% agree. And all items from said event should be connected to the currency, regardless of if that currency cost is doing the event activity for each day for two “uptimes” of the event. Someone can get lucky or don’t bother and still get the item. But it would provide a fallback for those that do interact with the event.

From my end, the game shouldn’t force you to play on different characters to maximize your chance of having an item being dropped. The drop should be the same regardless of character I’m playing.

I’d also be fine with having it being drop only for the first year and then moving it unto a vendor.

This many times over. There are so many cool rewards that’s been available through promotional or one-off events during the years and some of the rewards are available through vendors (ex some of the anniversary rewards). But for some reason, not all of the rewards get this treatment. Still wishing for that Core Hound that was available a few months before I started playing :cry:

This is just my take but being lucky is nothing prestigefull.

Louder for everyone in the back. In-game events should bring you back to the game because they’re fun, not because you’re farming a mount for the twelfth year in a row.

It’s fine. We’re not all on the same side in this argument. I don’t want everything handed to me on a plate, but I also don’t want bad luck to keep me from it for weeks/months/years. If someone wants to actively engage with any piece of content, regardless of if that content is holiday events, rares or raid farming, they should ultimately be rewarded for said activity.

I did Molten Core for two years on two characters, that’s a bit over 200 attempts to get Eye of Sulfuras and 100 attempts to get the other Binding of the Windseeker. I didn’t get them, and I abandoned the chaise because it simply didn’t reward me for the time I invested.

And here is where we disagree, and that’s fine. We’re advocating for something you don’t want, and you should instead try to motivate why it shouldn’t be like that instead of bashing the other side.

It doesn’t physically hurt anyone, no. But it does make the game less fun which in turn motivates people to move on to other games, perhaps for a short while, perhaps permanently.

I can’t though, can I? I have no idea if this will take me 1 more day or 12 more years. I don’t want to commit that much time to a video game. It’s here for my enjoyment, not as a career.


I will pass on commenting on the last part as I don’t think it even belongs in a forum post, much less so in the CC forums.
