Witches Festival - for trying to force players into trials.

Jesters Festival - for trying to force players into PvP.

ZO have taken events to a really bad place with these. They're not about fun and frivolity any more.

It doesn't help that no event seems special any more because they and the associated tickets feel nearly constant.

EDIT : Favourite? Once upon a time I would have said Witches Festival.

I like the one where I can do writs on all my characters and get boxes with each writ containing motifs lol.

Whichever that one is.

Launch anniversary - which is fast approaching. April.

It's not really fun, but yeah, the rewards are juicy.

My "taste" of events is nowadays a little different, in the first year, i participated in all events and liked em when they were new. Today, i skip most events or do only the absolute minimum/least effort to get some tickets here or there and skip as fast as possible.

I think for new players these events can be nice the first time, but every year again the same makes em lacking and feel dated, even with new rewards you dont get me farming new life boxes or jester festival's pig running etc, again.

Some kind fresh breeze every year would be great, like at least "refreshing" one of the olds event with different/new content (NOT rewards only) per year. So like 2020 a new jester festival, 2021 maybe a new halloween one and 2022 a new new life festival. That would at least keep a bit fresh those things, as no one will feel great having the same event 10 years in a row farming up for the new rewards (even if they would be great, it would feel like a chore)

The Crashing Mayhem Event is going on right now. Doesn't seem to be popular with players. ZoS should probably retire the event.

I always liked the Anniversary Jubilee (original recipe) because people could do the content they liked and still get rewarded for completing a daily. PVP, PVE, Pledges, DLC dailies, Crafting - something for all.

That's not how it worked last year.

Every week you had to do one of those to get its rewards.

Only in the final week you could do any, but its rewards were still limited to its own little pool. You couldn't craft to get the pvp rewards. You had to either PvP yourself or buy the rewards (outfit pieces) from other players.

Anniversary event is my favorite.

I'd say the Murkmire event is the one I enjoy the least. The drop rate on extra boxes is abysmal. I come for 3 minutes. get my one box for the day, then go do something rewarding. When extra rewards can take hours to acquire and reward potentially 250g worth of "rewards" it doesn't entice me to stay there.

Favorite : Midyear Mayem because I'm a PvPers only.

Least favorites : All PvE events.

Simple

My favorite so far, the Imperial City event. I had a blast last year.

Least favorite is easily the Undaunted event. Most events I simply ignore or do not partake in if they're not fun to me, but I can't get away from the Undaunted event since I enjoy dungeons. Between a glitchy DF or prior to last year the FG1 mess and a broken DF, I find that I dislike it.

My favorite is the Midyear Mayhem, the only time where the campaigns that are not just blind zerging get to see action and double AP is always nice, then I can stack up on gold jewelry and sell it for insane prices to get rich.

I've enjoyed all of the events, so I don't think I can pick a least favorite event.

As far as trying to pick a most favorite, I'm utterly surprised to say that my two favorites have been Midyear Mayhem and the one in the Imperial City and Imperial Sewers. I say "utterly surprised" because I've never been fond of PvP or dueling, not so much because I dislike it but rather because I generally stink at it.

None.
Every one of them is the same empty thing.

Make event more unique and more bound to the game/lore.

I'm not liking events much. The drop rate on everything is so dismal that the only conclusion I can come up with is that ZoS is trying to create excitement over in game items, then making it so difficult to get the pieces and parts so that people who want them, and are frustrated end up buying waaaaay over priced tickets in the crown store.

It all just rubs me the wrong way, as if the people at ZoS calling the shots are talking about how easy it will be to fool and trick their customers into paying a lot more to get the items they try to create excitement over yet purposefully make so that the drop rate causes incredible frustration.

Nobody should ever miss out on getting their daily event tickets. Being in a group should not cause you to miss your daily tickets. The drop chance for strong boxes should not be so bad, that you can spend hours upon hours upon hours killing mobs, farming nodes, looking chests and never get one in days of playing 8-10 hours a day. It's crazy stupid!

Not liking the events, if this continues to be how ZoS treats their customers, I won't be one for many more events. It's one of those situations where there are some up and coming MMOs that are looking really great, and I might end up leaving a game I otherwise really enjoy other than all the coded frustration to cause people to spend more and more and more money.

Get your hand out of my pocket ZoS, and start fixing the problems and issues with every aspect of the game before you start milking your customers for more money.

And just a suggestion, trying to create situations where people engage in content they do not wish to engage in, just to get event tickets, is not a good idea. Create fun and engaging content, but don't do it with the intent of trying to make people play the game how you want them to play it. Cater to your customers, stop trying to force them to be as you want them.
