Are you receiving the rewards you expected to receive?
Is there anything you’d like to see changed as it relates to older rewards and their distribution?
Did anything not function to your expectations?
Do you have any other general feedback?

Are you receiving the rewards you expected to receive? ==> I completed the intro quest and one daily. I got something that related to PvP which didn't make sense to me since I was not playing a PvP event.
Is there anything you’d like to see changed as it relates to older rewards and their distribution?
Did anything not function to your expectations? n/a
Do you have any other general feedback? General feed back: I am one player. Having a 300k+ fight evolve into a 1.5m fight is just dishonest. There is no way my over-land geared character was going to defeat a world boss alone. The good side, I anticipated trouble, based on last year, and snuck in and grabbed the quest item before engaging. Good that it was still in my clutches after I ran from the final boss.
Was not and still am not pleased with a quest asking me to hand over 10k gold to another player. A stranger even. Guild stores should not be favored in this way.

First, this challenge is unreasonable:

For the Anniversary Jubilee, you had a similar challenge for earning 100 Anniversary boxes. Which is fine, since Anniversary boxes are unrestricted.

But for Zenithar, 100 is way too much. Daily writs? You're limited to just 1 box per account per day, whereas it's unlimited for Anniversary. Killing bosses? You gotta be grouped with a guildmade for Zenithar, whereas no special stipulations exist for Anniversary.

Zenithar boxes are far harder to earn than Anniversary boxes, and people typically get far fewer boxes during Zenithar than for Anniversary. And so your challenge needs to reflect that. It should be 10-15 boxes, not 100, if you want this challenge to be comparable.

The next problem is that during both Jester's and Anniversary, your article stated that if someone has already earned the next morph fragment, then rolling the morph fragment again will grant them a style page instead. Except this re-roll was bugged and didn't actually work for either event, and rolling the morph fragment additional times just meant the player got boxes that contained neither page nor fragment. Since I assume that this system is being re-used again for Zenithar, I want to call attention to this, esp. since there has so far been no acknowledgement or response to the various forum threads calling out this problem.
