So I wanted to take a sec to give some positive feedback about Mid-Year Mayhem as I've seen a lot of posts here on the forums about the negatives of it. Don't get me wrong though, I pretty much agree with all the negative posts I've seen so far about it (unacceptably poor server performance, server crashes, skills not working, not being able to weapon swap, etc.), but for this thread I wanted to highlight some things that I've really enjoyed during this event.

Overall, I've been having an absolute blast! As someone who enjoys both facets of the game (PvE and PvP) but definitely considers PvP to be "endgame content" and treats it as such, I've been really happy with my overall experience in Mid-Year Mayhem (MM) so far. The Double Alliance Points boost alone has been really awesome, and I've been really happy with the Boon Boxes as well. Even though they don't contain much, they've still provided some really useful items. Also, every time I earn one I get a much stronger feeling of accomplishment than I ever do from getting the boring "Rewards for the Worthy" drops. The opportunity through this event to acquire many more Transmutation Crystals through these Boon Boxes has also been REALLY nice! Basically what I'm getting at here is these rewards, however small, are providing a sense of value, worth, and accomplishment to anyone participating in MM. It's something I really hope ZOS knows we like because I've always felt that PvPers don't really feel like they're earning much more than just regular AP for things they're doing in game.

I'd also like to highlight the positive fact that I think it's been really fun having new players joining in on the PvP scene. Seeing multiple servers alive and popping, some with really long queues has been great to see. Sure I know the long queues suck for those trying to get in and server lag has been atrocious, but it's really nice to get the feeling that PvP is alive and thriving even if it's due to an event.

Lastly, I'd just like to say that I'd really like to see ZOS start doing events like this more. If this thread goes anywhere, which it very well might not, I'd love to really hammer home the idea that having a 2x AP or 2x Tel Var event once a month would be REALLY awesome for the ESO PvP community. It doesn't have to be long, it could just be 1 weekend out of the month or even once every other month, but I'd really love to see Zenimax throw the PvP community a bone and implement something like this. I mean even with MM going on IC is rather dead (as it always is, sadly ) and having a monthly or bi-monthly event to get people there would be really fun.

Anyways, I just wanted to highlight a few of the things I've been enjoying during MM and let ZOS know that I've been having fun. I hope some of you are having fun with the event too and would love to read your replies to this thread. Let's try to keep it positive as there are plenty of threads about the negatives of MM, but thanks for taking the time to read this
