On one hand kinda cool for new players like myself (started last December), since this event seemed pretty substantial. On the other hand kinda weird they don't even bother making a couple of new weapons or any new content to it.
Speaking of events, I think it's kinda a shame that seasonal/timed events will always just be in the original three cities so newcomers can join. I'd love to see some sort of event in Ishgard or Kugane. It just feels like they make these new cities, but they'll always be secondary cities that no one hangs around as opposed to the main three. People still populate the main three cities because it's where the GCs are, it'd be nice if the other cities got their own GCs and seasonal events.
