On the good side of the event I finally have an indrik mount

I think 2 tickets per day is too much.

Although it was a fun event I prefered the way it was last year, in that you could choose the activity you wanted to do the event rather being told which activity gave you the gift box!

Dashmatt

100% agree with everything.

Having something else to do with those tickets was a plus, and I got the last style pages just when I had to use or lose, so the timing went well for me at least.

While I like having different activities in different weeks, I didn't bother the WB and dungeon weeks. Too much effort for too little reward. This approach was rewarded when the final week ended up with all the styles from the first 4 weeks.

WB and delves is such a boring activity after doing them so many times. There is zero chance I waste my time on those without a great reward, and week 5 made the reward for those feel paltry.

I am happy the event is over so I can start having fun again, but I would say the event was a great success and I always enjoy all the recipes, motifs, and mats.

I enjoyed the event. It was a nice gesture and a pretty big milestone.

When I downloaded the game in June of 2015, I sure didn’t expect to be playing still in May of 2019.

Kudos to the Zenimax team and the community.

too long. Should have been at most 1-2 weeks with EVERYTHING available to receive rewards (like the last week).

PVP was fun during that event though; so many salty pve players with terrible gear and terrible pvp players looking to farm them so fights were available outside the keep areas lol.

Second I agree with this poster that players should have been encouraged when in a PvP zone to actually play PvP to get their rewards. Doing the PvP dailies and even including an anniversary box with rewards for the worthy would have made so much more sense and would have lessened the genuine frustration of committed PvPers who saw their campaigns pop locked, their allies unable to get in and no-one actually playing PvP.

I don't know, honestly: I understand and agree with the logic that a PVP related event should focus on actual PVP, but on the other hand Midyear Mayhem also doubles Cyrodiil PVE dailies rewards, if I'm not misremembering, so it would have been strange to not reward them this time.
Furthermore, limiting rewards to strictly PVP quests or worse tying them to the rewards for the worthy would have meant getting much fewer boxes and less reliably, and to me the worst part of this event (besides micromanagement hell with event tickets and their annoying cap) was the disparity in boxes gained from week to week.

I like:
Getting motifs, mats, and styles

I didn't like:
Grinding for 5 weeks
Little to no return on undaunted week, i simply skipped that entire week because my time invested wasn't worth the return

Reward vs effort was the biggest issue for me. I didn’t even bother doing any dailies in weeks 2-4.

Overall I didn’t mind the event though, I dished out 3 million gold and finished every single achievement related motif in the game apart from militant ordinator.
