So I've pretty much hated this event ever since the last one.
All these changes that they made to try and "balance" the events have really just sucked all of the fun out of them for me. My days with Elvenar are probably numbered now JUST because of these recent event changes. :/
I think that some of the changes to the quests were good, but I don't know about the execution. Supposedly, the same random quests aren't supposed to come up as often, but now it's just been super long, difficult quests every OTHER quest, instead of EVERY one.
They also changed the language to say "Produce a good amount of Marble, Planks, or Steel." But they don't actually mean that. I thought I might be able to actually catch a break because my Mermaid's Paradise was up for collection ... but it only counted 1/3 of it, so I'm still stuck waiting the rest of the day to finish the quest.
Oh, and I had the same quest when I woke up this morning (with one in between), so I'm fully expecting to see it pop up to take another entire day from me as soon as it's complete.
