It won’t be FOMO, if its available each year. It doesn’t have to be removed.
I totally agree, Devs should focus on better gameplay with a more fun replaybility, I was waiting for an actual Holiday update with Worldquest, World Events, PvP brawls, The current holiday updates don´t provide too much gameplay.
Other mmorpgs provide the rewards for holidays as part of a journey through different activities, solo boss fights, questlines…etc which is more meaningful compared to WoW approach that’s pure RNG and that caused this response after 10+ years with the same pattern.
Not only Arfus and the script, there’s players looking for the old mounts for years and they’re doing changes until now, however, their fix didn’t solve the core issue and most collectors ran a lot of alts during love event (We still have the 10 + characters limit instance still in game and the queues are getting worse), even a Council member did 2 accounts for 2 daily boost attempts.
