Well I have to also say that the progression of the event is kinda lagging. First day, about 5 minutes of "event" then finally the spawn came, and everyone was happy dying to warriors, wisps, shadowlords, then beserkers, everyone got their shields, swords, finally most blackrock used up and now we can get cloaks..
Then we see the current "stage" of the even dragging on. one week, 2 weeks, up to 3 weeks, now word that its another week or 2.. Dragging...dragging...
But yea, even though the event is progressing as slow as molassas, 2 things.
1) You don't have to do the event. Plenty of game about. Its just a small area that you can work and fight in, still everything else in the game to do. Just stop going to the rift and do other things.
2) hopefully with the long wait something good will be comming, hopefully unlike the magincia event. You know, the magincia event, where after weeks of the same old rubble/demons, we had the "ending" of the event at the gate, which really only lasted minutes as a few people ganked down the final foes and ran off with the rubble shadow pillars. Everyone else wandered by later and went "so, whens this event going to end" LOL.
