I can not be the only one that is tried of these RNG boxes for events. It's supposed to be fun. Not some RNG grind like the rest of the game already is. Please ease up on these RNG boxes and if you're going to have boxes ensure they won't give duplicates. You're exhausting me with the amount of RNG piled on top of RNG. At least the Halloween event you could get as many plunder skulls as you wanted in a day as long as you killed dungeon bosses. Now it's 3 boxes a day and for the past 3 days I've got nothing but duplicates to the point of having to buy the final recipe; that's not fun.

Hopefully not alone in this. I'm fine with RNG in other aspects of the game and I get it that the game needs RNG, but just let me relax a little for an event... please...

I think my first character completed the main quests in like 4 days for full achieves. This was one of the better holiday events i have seen.

Mostly memento driven gains with the Xp boost right up front along with one RNG box. my fianl needed recipe came from just starting the event on every character when my last four just did the initial hey there.
Mostly quick to resolve individual legs for quests.
Limited number of items in the RNG and in the quest/acheevy demands so not a ton of inventory bloat.
Not from what i saw a terrible RNG screw job going on.
Not a ton of travel time to and fro eating up playtime for no gain.
Permanent acheev based unlock in the trees.

Now, would i object to an alternative where you can trade-in the other RNG box extras for something useful, other than selling them in the guild stores, nope but all in all this one was great IMO.

So maybe allow the holiday acheev vendor to buy back cherry blossoms et al and give you "jester coins" which could be used in that store as well... sure. But then, that would take away from guild storing them.

I got really lucky and have the Royal Jester title on 3 of my characters without having to buy any recipe. But I agree with you, RNG should not be a factor in festival rewards.
