Feedstock frenzy: going a lil overboard? Whats with these events?

Ok. I recently transferred over to Tera NA from EU. (recent = 5 months) EU is dead. (even velika is empty at peak hours on the high population servers). And so I've noticed something.
Its regarding the scale and frequency of events here in NA.
But for now, I'd like to address a potential issue regarding the new 1 month event: Feedstock frenzy. In short, i think adding 48 extra feedstock to every drop for t8+ feedstock is a lil tooo much.
And before you start raging at me and calling me a noob and saying I dont understand the current issue about feedstock deficiency,
YES.
I agree we need a buff to feedstock drops but i think a WHOLE month of extra feedstock drops would
1. Cause an unprecendented increase in supply
2. Crash the current market for feedstock. (I can see how this is gonna [filtered] soo many ppl off)
3. Enchanting is just a whole lot easier?

This also calls to question the chain of events that have been going around in Tera recently..
New (another too op) class
Month long Double exp
Too many drops events?
And now this.....

I dunno about you guys but somehow it reminds me how how some other game i used to play as a kid tried to save itself before eventually dying out..
what do you guys think? Sort of like a dying breath event bonanza or something else?

    The feed stock is needed, there is a current supply controlled mostly by the farmers from the TAR dailies (me included). I have more than enough for a main and 10 other toons at 65. I will also have enough for the 3 current toons I'm leveling no problem. I've also sold much at exorbitant prices and am currently more wealthy than I've ever been in the game based solely on my abundance of feed stock and the demand.

    However new or returning players I can see will have a real issue, I can't really find sympathy for ppl going for +15 because that should be expensive and difficult and as it is now Starfall is by far the easiest to obtain.

    New Op class-yep I highly doubt there will ever be a new class that isn't. Which is sad cause it makes old classes redundant. Go farm IoD on my main Sorc or my alt gunner....pretty easy decision.
    Month long double XP-Thank god the last thing I want to do is make trudging through the level up process longer on alts.
    Too many drop events-Yes this is to make up for the Jan through march debacle where they disappeared for a month and a half and incidentally lost more than 1/2 of the player base (probably more).
  • This kind of events are far from going overboard due to most instances requiring T8+9-12 gears to even enter. Without feedstock frenzy one might get max. 32-40 T8 feedstocks from one instance run if hogging all the FS that drops without leaving any for others. (At least that's how it ish in Abscess, KC and CW.)

    Thus this drop event helps a lot at getting gears for running more instances. Spending weeks in just 3 basic instances to get the fod...meh. Especially if you have bad luck with squads. Even KC seems to be impossible to do for some =.='

    Going overboard would be not having any events at all. With this event, and the current double Vanguard rewards event, both feedstock and MW alkahest problems are solved ( you buy em from the Vanguard Merchant if you do not know)

    Like anyone who came from EU and played NA, they will always post this kind of stuff. Is EU really that much a road wrecked that EU players will say that NA is way too easy.
