It was a nice event. You can't blame them to have given us the same event that everybody saluted with hurrays the first time. They thought it would still be a pleasure for us to play it again.
difference is when it was pigs there were some rewards to look forward to... back then lifestones were rare and people got them from the event, and enchants werent a dime a dozen like they are now with the cubic. Plus cubic event reward? It made sence in hellbound when the koreans got the event cause there was no other way to get it, now pretty much everybody had one.
not to mention the circlet event rewards (that you can buy on the cheap from lux) ... all in all it's not the event that sucked, it's the rewards, they gave us a canned event with outdated rewards nobody cared about
That's why we need a feedback to say the rewards weren't appropriate. Personally I was disappointed to see golden and silver circlet at the luxury shop. I had one that a friend gave because he got two in the pig event, so it meant something. Seeing it at a NPC shop was like they were trying to depreciate the gift of my friend. And then I got another one at mice event. It doesn't make sense at all.
The problem is that when the event has big prices like boss jewels, it's a big item collection (which I'm not fond of, as a bishop always in party) with just another lottery to see if you "deserves" to win a big reward.
So the feedback is important to reach the good alchemy.

At least you got a circlet without having to pay for it. I got from both events: more scrolls of agility yeah!

Why do so many l2 players suffer from both short term memory loss as well as spousal abuse syndrome? Wasn't the bot's abuse of this event the first time around the main reason trial accounts lost the ability to trade items? The ONLY reason bots didnt participate enmass for this event was because even they knew the rewards were so horrbibly bad. It's good that you personally had fun, but this event was a failure as a whole, just like it was the first time around. We are three years beyond getting l2day scrolls from events. We are two years beyond considering d grade enchant scrolls as awesoe. We are a year beyond thinking last years dull head accesorry is a great reward, and we are 8 months beyond thinking that the wonderous cubic is amazing.

No. We don't need feedback. Neither do they. Our game service is 100% proffit for them and yet they can't be bothered to put out a event with rewards relevant to our current update.
A brand new player on his first day of playing would know that the circlets and buffs/buff scrolls are entirely worthless and have no business as the main rewards for our first event in 6 months. All he would have to do to figure this out is level to 5, visit giran lux shop through the travel quest and then talk to the newbie helper npc to get more buffs then he or she could ever hope to win from doing the mice event3 hours a day for an entire week.
It was good event. Reasons why:
* it gaves me ~150kk profit
* it allowed to get wonderous cubics for 4 low level alts
* gaved a lot of enchants(sold)/scrolls(still have, who wants to buy?:))
* Some nice fotos with red +17 weapon :)
* low bot activity on event - good for normal players
Ok, event itself was borring. I did it only twice (2 days). Later I just made business and it was profitable...
I liked the Rat event, I got cubics on all my toons that were'nt lvl 40 to do the quest :)
I only have 2 wishes for the next event like this. First, let the pigs/rats/whatever give some xp and sp and second, do change the rewards to include element stones and even some cool things like stacks of 10k fish proofs, things we all need lol :p and the head accessories like the wizard hat's that had brez or bsoe skills :) Swap those with the enchant scrolls, we have plenty of those now (except the exceedingly rare S grade) :p
