I do it on all my alts too - and I have two of most all the classes. More of certain ones…and it is, in fact, still VERY fast to ‘zip down there’! I hit a time rift, which is over pretty quick - just find a group in LFG. Then I go do the suffused camp in about 10 minutes, and then I still have about 5-10 minutes left to get to the cavern, since the Zaralek thing starts on the half hour, and I’m done. It’s shockingly fast - especially since we have dragonriding and get to places hella quick. And the zones are stuffed full of people, so all the events go incredibly quickly. I usually even hit up a Superbloom after the Time Rift, since Time Rifts tend to finish so quick, that there’s often about 8 minutes or so left on Superbloom, so I hit that up for my weekly quest/alt gear as well, then hearth back to Valdrakken go do Zaralek, which is just starting by that point. Then do Suffused Camp after, if I managed to squeeze a Superbloom in earlier, instead, since Suffused camps aren’t on an event timer.
If you’re mad because you want to pick your quest, then sure. But claiming it’s not fast, is…kinda wack. Learn to optimize your time. I can knock out all these weeklies on multiple alts an evening in a couple hours with minimal effort bc there’s 500 people doing every event since it IS the weekly. You’re guaranteed to have people doing these things, since you all have the same weekly.
I’m still thinking they might have done this on purpose though, idk - the quest gives two bullion…which is more than a boss in a raid tends to drop, even…why would a quest to do like 2 things in the Dream award that? A quest that requires you to do 3 events (that are actually all fast) being worth 2 bullion makes more sense, but they never actually told us anything…so I think miscommunication is the real error here. If they’d said ‘this is intended’ then people could complain about the correct thing…not wanting to do this easy trio of events. Instead, people are complaining about not being able to choose, when not being able to choose might have been the actual intent, and they coded it funny, so it looks like you have a choice, so people feel baited and lied to, which just upsets them more.
I do think it’s kinda crap that 2/3 of the events award decent ilvl gear, but the researcher one still awards real low ilvl stuff. But at least I’ve gotten achievements and pets out of smashing them out. Even the researcher event takes like 10 minutes, since there’s so many people basically one-shotting every single mob.
