Destiny events have varied between time comsuming and some fun. The fun events are the highlights I think many of us point out and praise. The Dawning from D1. Solstice of Heroes D2 (Y1). Age of Truimph (in general) However, there have also been many duds when it comes to events. Some have been PvP focused which can only interest a certain amount of players, which can be... fine. However, then there are what I like to call burnout events. These events like the current Solstice of Heroes event (that is ending) is one of those burnout events. You require a significant grind for a reward that many don't feel to be worthwhile while also... kind of forcing it on players. Now, let me share my experience. I do play MMOs. Mostly I can point to Old School Runescape and FFXIV ( Midcore Savage Raider) and they in general do events... well better than Destiny events. Sure, not all events but the stinkers from Destiny to other MMOs is pretty apparent. For one, servere grinding for events is not normal unless its an event with a significant time for players to them, and these are VERY rare. We are talking about a 1-2 month interval to do the event, similar to that of Age of Truimph. These events with grinds are normally forgivable because the devs balance them around average players who get on maybe 6 hours a week. Casual and some midcore players don't like being forced to play a game because of an event with rewards that aren't worth the time investment but just good enough to do said event. Plus, its unhealthy when you force a grind on the playerbase in a short amount of time leading to a 'crunch' so to speak for the playerbase. (cough) [b]Getting raid ready in less than 1 week [/b](cough). The solstice of heroes event has been a crunch grind for 2 weeks with the final week finally making the grind... well a bit less BS honestly. However, the time to grind should have been extended by a week for one, and two the final sparrow reward just sucks... I mean come on... that is the reward? Really? Look, if you want to give players a grind, do it without a time requirement if its going to take a long time. Make it a season objective like pinnacle weapons. Let players set their own pace on these things... not force us to rush and do them. Maybe... I don't know.... make consolodate the events to where after they finish you can continue said grinds in a different manner so players don't feel left out.
