this is better than the 5° anniv event
I agree with this - right now it feels like only 65s get to celebrate not just any anniversary, but the 5th anniversary. The big one! Why leave out potential newcomers of the celebration, you know? I mean the wings are truely appreciated, don't get me wrong - but getting those doesn't really require that you do anything. Imo a reward is so much sweeter after working for it.
I would only request that we see more things to do for every level for the remainder of the event, pretty please EME?
You realise you get can get 1 Etching IV box per day just by turning up to the Event BAM in a raid, tapping it once and then afk-ing nearby while everyone else kills it for you, and spending 450 credits, right?
Actually, if you join a raid, I don't even think you have to tap it, as long as someone else in the raid does for you. Like, afk-ing for 15 minutes for an Etching IV box. Considering that you used to have to beat the crap out of stuff in HH and pray to RNGesus and now have to pray to the RNG gods of FWC, I think that's a good deal.

Top notch reply by the player council member
I think it was the gunner patch or something, we had T.E.R.A event and the levelling one at same time, Killing bams to level up and get some letters, miss that : ^(
I am disappointed with the cash shop rewards and the dungeons event.
From where I'm standing, their event rewards are better. I'd farm the beep out of this event if I could get my hands on more smart dyads. Here's the thing though...I'm not a fan of cash shop items being put as event rewards(and I like using that as an excuse to keep the whole thing lacking in general) because if I want a fire sceptre or googly eyes, i can go buy them(or already have because...who waits for a surprise event when they want a shiny thing?!). From the cash shop or the trade broker. A lot of those rewards are readily available in game(more or less). Why do you think everybody is talking about the "anniversary wings" and not the whatever smart box? Only one of those items is new and can only be obtained through the event.
Btw, why not have 2 types of tokens? One that's easily farmable and gives nontradeable stuff(like, for example, smart dyads) and the current one. Maybe even conversions between the two(or just from the current to the lower ones).
Even before Mongos event was introduced, there were better events like T-E-R-A event... I was able to buy Jadeheart for 2k on the Trade Broker which event the poorest Tera player could afford!
Just imagine for Tera 5th anniversary... paying 2k for Elins cars!!!
I think that's actually not a bad idea.
I suspect that the people at EME who came up with this event idea saw it differently than the way most players see it. They saw it as allowing people to earn cash shop items without anyone having to pay any money to them -- so for them, they're giving away items that have direct monetary value, and so to them the prizes are "better" than the EU event for the most part (where the only cash shop prizes are buried under lots of RNG, or involve paying one way or another). But as you point out, these items can already be purchased on the broker. Now, from EME's point of view, it makes no difference to them who gives them the money, so they didn't think that perception through.
They were probably also thinking about the fact that people complained a lot about how different events have devalued consumables way too much, so another event that gives away consumables would just devalue them even more. Hence cash shop items...
Anyway, between that and their conservative fear of over-rewarded (scars from Neon Mongo), I really think they never anticipated the reaction to be this bad. But having a second type of token that gives non-tradable, non-cash shop prizes that are still desirable could open the door to some other events methods that would be better-received.
I think people also complained a lot that that mount became so absolutely worthless. But I really don't think they care about that Elin car anyway since it's a landmount, so they probably could literally do that if it would make people happy.
