I guess I'm just not comfortable playing with anyone who didn't derive even the tiniest little sense of satisfaction from preventing wounded Neverwinter militia from being slaughtered in their sick-beds...
Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who really got in the spirit of the event. Every time I went to the siege area, I could not leave if that event was up...just the thought of the wounded getting slaughtered where they laid...terrible!

Shockingly, yes. But I could set the crafting tasks on Gateway. The dailies were really alt-friendly. If you don't care about scoring great success, just clipping the tag end of any heroic that people have already done most of counted just fine.
The HE farming was a bit on the boring side with the RNG favoring no-one really. Ran several HE with my DC and was not always able to get great success. The HE's it not so friendly with all the classes as to how they determined the success rate. The prizes that you got was nice, 2 new fashion sets, the horn (not a really note worthy prize), the dyes etc. The thing that stood out for me was that you could make a lot of AD in this event which is nice.
So to break it all down, the HE farming and RNG was really not so fun, but the rest of the event was good.

Defending the medical camp was my favorite of the cultist-fighting heroics, but I still mostly enjoyed the dragon battles more.

I liked the siege itself. It was go cool idea.
How did you people get so many Honors? My GWF got one Honor to drop and 2 defense supplies. I did the profession non stop for them and still had to buy more in order to get the Honor to buy 1 box.
In previous events, I bought all the Refining Caches I could, and even bought them off the AH, and I was always happy with it's contents. Why did they get so cheap this time? Never before have I got a R2 out of one.
I got a couple of dyes too, but I always discard them as I get them.

Sheesh, you could at least sell them or give them away.
I was crafting on 12 characters. That was a minimum of 36 supplies per day (so 3 medals), more when I got 3 from some tasks. I only received one medal from a heroic encounter, and supplies a few times.
So I had three toons get enough medals for one Defender's Pack and what do I get from it? An R2 enchant and a lesser mark. And dye packs to add to my already massive collection of dye packs. Really?!?
If the Hell would freeze and devs would actually read this, could you please remove the restriction of only one Medic or Injured fashion set kit per character?
Storing them is kinda painfull when you must keep them all in common bank space and I can't even collect from my mail all those I bought because of this restriction.
And yes, I hoard them to wait for their price to rise. So what? This is what keeps them available for longer time and is basic market maneuver...
PS. Thanks for making them not BoP.
Give us 4 or more power/item bar profiles so we can change powers and items with one click that are suited for the situation.

I got at least one of everything by only running 4 characters through each day only for the daily. I just ran my main from then on only for the daily and all while having 20 of my characters doing the high-end profession tasks for Supplies (chance to get 3x) to trade in for Medallions to open Neverwintan Defense Packs. I did not farm the HEs or spend any more time in the zone than necessary for the daily.
I am content, as I was able to get every achievement from the event on all my characters. I still don't care for the RNG aspect but I loved everything else. What made my day was when I opened the 8th Defense Pack and got a Battlefield Medic. Indeed! I rarely get anything good from RNG, so this cheered me up a bit. For sure.
8 packs with 4 characters?
May want to read that again. By the time the event was over, I had opened around 12 packs. I'll highlight it for you:

Letting us know ahead of time that the defense donator would be taken out would've prevented the hordes of ticked off people posting about it around here...

I'll take them
I'd think that simply asking in the event zone, "who wants this dye?" would get you at least one response. But you never know.
