Christmas Wings Event
50 Seeds of Dream for a random box.
Gift box 1/2/3 or 10 Seeds of Dream.
Need x1 of ea box per upgrade
Okay, not too bad.
Mobs don't drop gift boxes...
Can only get by trading SoD...
Gift boxes are untradeable...
Okay... well at least...
SoD drop rate still near impossible to get...
Well then I guess that's that. Actually had hope for Papaya/Vertigo to actually revive the game, but I guess not. It's sad to see a game that was once so enjoyable turn into something so terrible. I'm very surprised that UbiFun has not fully cut off EU and NA due to their poor business practices. Sure companies are about money before everything else, but when you only cater to the 1% and try to put on a facade of improving the F2P experience that's just incredibly contradicting.
It doesn't take a genius to make an event that satisfies F2P and P2P players. With the Christmas event in question you could've easily just increased the drop rate of Seeds of Dream to a point where you'd be guaranteed something along the lines of 100 seeds p/hr. Or you could've made a mini-quest where you kill 300 mobs and get 50 seeds that's repeatable. Heck, even a double requirement of a mini-quest plus an instanced dungeon. You kill 300 mobs get 1 ticket and then go kill the boss. The boss drops between 1-3 random gift boxes. Each one of the above methods takes at least 45 minutes to 1 hour to do. Which is relatively short but also limiting seeing as you have to farm x30 of each gift box and the chances of you getting repeat boxes/seeds is also limiting the speed at which you can complete the event. You'd literally have to be insane to attempt to finish the event in a few days time. You'd have to play between 12-16 hours per day to achieve something of that manner. Some people will, but not everyone will. It'll take some people at least the whole duration of the event to complete it with pacing like so.
It's as if the people/person making these events has/have 0 clue how the game works. It's like they just have a set of note cards with item names on them and draw at random and make an event from those results. Wings- Seeds of Dream- 50 items- Obligatory Random Box- OMG I GOT IT GUYS!!!
Anyways that's enough for my rant. The game has become way too dead to play. The GM Shop fiasco didn't bother me, but this did. This was literally the last thing that would have kept me around a bit longer, but it was another failure.

Maybe their Christmas with our money!
I spend ~100$ on their parca boxes,and only got feather to 50%
And for my last point, I also agree with ShadowAlokenLV that we need more rewards because not everyone wants or needs another pair of costume and wings. And we all know that our events are pretty much farm fests and it is always more "fun" to farm some event items along with seeds rather than the whole event being a seed dump and this event is a double seed dump.
I did not know that when you bought the 60% wings, you could not upgrade them, now I have all the token, 1 = 24; II = 5 AND III = 28 and I do not get another feather, total this event really stinks I do not think there is any place where they say that you could not level up after having acquired the 60% I want my money back spend more than $ 100 and not even the GM can help you or respond to anything
