In fairness, the availability of boxes is about to take a nose dive, next week. Last I checked, we don't get some kind of normal anniversary boxes for doing other things.
You can actually get more boxes next week, but the time requirement will be significantly higher, as it's really quick to do 7 daily crafting writs on a character. There are more than 7 "daily" delve and WB quests in the game you can do.
Yeah, that's true. However, for those of us who are executing large numbers of writs (I'm clearing 154 a day, for example), it will drop sharply, for that exact reason. The time commitment will go up, and stay there.
Also, moving into the dungeon week, that will be, functionally, hard capped at 3 boxes per character, but the time to collect those boxes will be closer to 30 minutes a box. Meaning that doing those on all characters (without anything going wrong) would potentially get into the range of 33 hours per day to keep up. Which... isn't ideal. (I do realize that 30m per box is a bit high, and it should be possible to knock those out in slightly under an hour, but that still means dedicating most of a day to the activity.
5 weeks worth of people earning boxes, theres gonna be plenty of worm cults sold in stores. I seen plenty of pages for 10 to 20k ea, not cheap but very affordable. Buying the motif this event will probably be at its cheapest before they go up in price

Yeah, I hear you there. There will certainly be a drop-off in total boxes collected. I'm doing 195 a day right now with crafting (15x7 + 15x6, no JC on alt account). Hopefully the drop rate on the styles from these next 2 weeks will be sufficient to get them all. Or, hopefully the dailies in week 5 drop all of them, rather than their specific type. Like these boxes say they are an "Anniversary Box (crafting)" when we get them. Hopefully week 5 boxes are "Anniversary Box (all)" and can drop any style piece, rather than the crafting dailies giving us an "Anniversary Box (crafting)" that will only drop Prophet styles again, meaning we'd have to continue to do WB/Delve/Dungeon dailies to finish our Lyris and Sai Sahan style pages, even in week 5.
