At first I was pleasantly surprised to see this event. Unfortunately I was a day or two into a week long vacation and only completed 5 of 7 days dailies for this event during said vacation. Now in the last week I've pushed hard. Purchased some diamonds to help complete quests and such. In the end this event leaves me frustrated and disappointed and here is why.
1:The 10/1 conversion ratio for diamonds to moon splinters. Highly extortionate and should have been a dead give away that this event was not something to thank loyal users. Instead this shows this to be a cash grab; the conversion rate should never have been higher then 5/1, even 2/1 would have drawn eye rolls. 10/1 is just disrespectful and leads me to believe that the management currently running the game just simply doesn't get it.
2:The % of event drops. First of all why would 30x Inspiring Meditation be a prize? After being rewarded with this three times I am left wondering what the hell I'm supposed to do with 90 Inspiring Meditation spells. Second, I have in the last two days turned in to receive the Gold Chest 7 times with out once receiving the daily exclusive once... So much for the 25% drop rate.
3:The limited non-daily quests. This is where my frustrated and disappointed reaches its zenith. After the extortionate diamond to moon splinter rate of exchange and the disproportionate drop rates and useless spells I was still like OK, whatever, let me at least push the non-daily to get what I can. Then yesterday the non-daily stopped spawning. And I read on the forums that it's limited. So in essence there is no way to complete even the second tier of this event unless you get supremely lucky. And even with that luck you will never come anywhere near the third with out spending a base minimum of $100. This leaves me asking who does Inno Games think they are to charge more for a single event then any popular MMO charges for the game it's self.
Where is the loyalty to your users Inno Games? Why should I spend a single cent in game if this is the respect you show us?
