I am already thinking they're too long - a week at most would be best. Event fatigue is real, so is event burnout. Less is definitely more in this case.

The funny thing about events for me is, they turn me off the game and so I play the game less during them. I know I could simply ignore the event, but I just can't seem to.

I guess I have just done the same old events too many times now, nothing is new except for a new skin here or there and the new 1 style page per 20 hours nonsense.

Lastly, the events are not fun, they are usually just the same old daily events we can do any day of the week with extra rewards. Look at other games, I won't name any, their events are usually FUN. You know, new games and such to play that can only be played at that time of the year....actually FUN to do and play and not a chore.

Meh, I guess other games just spoiled me in the past.

There’s only 2 or 3 events that I work my butt off to get as many event boxes as possible and have a chance to get burned out. For the majority of events, I get the 1 or 2 new fragments and then max my tickets out at 12, and then I’m done with the event. I never work on getting the armor appearances or anything like that.

Unless an event has double nodes or easy unlimited loot boxes from like dolmens or harrowstorms (without having to be in a group… looking at you, Zenithar event), i don’t really care about them.

I think they should be more often, but not constant.

There is already too many events. I get event burnout. I wish the devs would let us hold more than 12 tickets so we could skip events and still get the yearly rewards. They explicitly don't want that to happen but I'm getting more and more burned out of doing any events and caring about the event loot with each passing year.

If you push people too hard, they will burn out. After all, see the number of complaints there were (from PvPers!) that the second MYM was nowhere near as populated as the first because people were still burnt out from the first, and then that coincided with an even sharper post-event dropoff in players in PvP.

Monthly events are more than enough. We've already almost got half the year in some event or another (if we have an event each month and each is almost two weeks...). More events make them all less special, and it means that people will not have the desire to go in as much.

It's the same argument as "we should always have double [gold/Tel Var/AP/mats/etc.] on! That will get more people in!" No it won't. If it's no longer special, then people don't have the desire to jump in. There is a psychological component to giving people stuff for a limited time versus all the time - it's the reason that JCPenney's idea a few years back to just reduce all the prices and never run sales ended up running them into the ground (there's a case study for any marketing people).

yes if they are anything like the last event where if you were a solo player all you could do was steal and pickpocket for maybe 1 box per hour while other were getting 1 box per minute for the more exciting stuff like world bosses, so to some this last was no event at all really

There are already times when the events are too close together. Suffer from event burnout.

Truth be told, I think there might be too many Events already. Even if I don't particularly like the rewards you can get from an Event, due to FOMO I still feel compelled to participate and do more than the absolute minimum that's required to get the tickets. So if my playtime is limited, which is often the case after work on weekdays, all I'm doing is repetitive Event related stuff instead of content I like more.

My issue with events is that if I love Orsinium or Elsweyr Event and for some IRL reason I lose it, I then have to wait 2 more years in addition to the 2 years already past from last recurrence. It feels really bad.

I have no solution in terms of schedule/duration but I would like for events to recur more frequently - who knows if we'll be still alive in 4 years XD
On a side note: I get event burnout, it can be harsh. That's why I can't come up with a solution...

I think the 'downtime' between events is good.

Said that I could do with a couple of Explorer's Events more a year.

The 2XP gap between anniversary and the explorer's they usually turn on after the chapter event is a bit bah.

For people without the crafting bag through ESO+ the inventories just fill up quite quickly. Actually this may be true for people with ESO+ too I don't know.

yea true with eso+ too
especially with all the recipes and maps that events give

I took this response, but this polls lacks a "no, there is far too many event already, they should stop doing them altogether"

Too much is too much.
