I was feeling the same way. But, I still need to get caught up on ToD, so the drops are pretty cool.

I really didn't get interested in it the first time due to the rewards. This second go around has me feeling no different than the first. But eh, to each their own. I do know some people really got into it the first time.
I was not interested in it either due to the poor rewards. I think it is just a heroic encounter and I already have my plate full ignoring the well of dragons heroic encounters.
I hope they are able to provide more fashion and character customization in future events than the current ones do. That would entice me a lot.

It's not just you. The rewards are not worth the effort. If they allowed you to get Greater Glyphs then I would reconsider
Last time I got 9 of the packs from the profession and did dailies on i think 8 of my toons. I forgot to do it yesturday from putting it off and probably won't bother more than once.
You can craft supplies and sell them on AH. It's the best you can get off the event.

None of the events really have much to offer anyone who has been playing very long. When this event started, I already had enough currencies saved up from last year to buy anything I wanted....there is just nothing that I want.

the medic gear is decent looking, at least the female version is, and it looks better dyed black.
my CW wears battlefield medic gear dyed black, and in my opinion, it's the nicest looking fashion set I have had to date.
That does look nice. Does anyone have a pic, male or female of the outfit in its original colors?
Here ya go:

Thanks! That doesn't look too bad even in the original colors. Seeing it's not that much of an effort to get, maybe I'll just do the daily a few times over the next few days to get it. I'm starting to need a wardrobe through.
Just be aware that the male version basically looks like an apron or smock, (there are dummies by the event vendor on the dais).

I got what I wanted the first time around, aside the battlefield medic. Then I got one during winterfest so there isn't really anything I want, maybe besides dye. Though dye at 200 a piece is a little too much grinding for my taste.
The event was fun for the first few hours the first time around, now I really don't have any interest. Maybe if they had added some new items to the store besides just coin and coffer drops.

I don't see me doing much on this event, maybe enough to get the companion on a couple of toons but nothing more

I still don't like the helmet on the female character but the armor certainly does look good. We need more options like that in the future Cryptic (for male players)
...And the helmet issue is pretty all around. I'd love to see some just basic helmets added to most classes instead of the eccentric styles we currently have, I mean wouldn't it be nice to simply wear the typical cross visor helm stereotypically on clerics?
Personally I don't care for the male version though and...well..I only have one female character which I rarely play so I don't see myself working to get it personally.

I already got what I wanted the first time. I'm just doing it for fun now, and I'm gonna get some coins and coffers in the process. Maybe I'll get some more dyes and medic fashion. You can never have enough customization options
Cheers!

It may be a little hard to see in the below picture, but that's one of the reasons I transmuted my cleric's "hat" into a more formidable-looking helmet; I just hated the "pope hats" so many cleric sets have...

Define terrible for me: You get free stuff so it's hard to complain.
They shouldn't have brought the event back so quick though. With the Gifts during Winter Event the rewards are hardly worth anything and most players should be decked out. That's the only thing to criticize really..
Actually for people grinding for Linu's favors, this is not a bad event. You get 8 to 15 dragon coins per HE and there is no cool down. Not me though, but I guess some no life grinders like it.
The rewards is meh... but at least you can craft some of them for free without clicking your fingers off in the battlefield... and the Guard Archer companion is at least decent for newbies.
Is that the actual black dye used (several times), or did you use a dye pack to get that look?
6 black dye bottles were used in total, though a cheaper option now would be to use 2 draconic black dye bottles, and 4 black dye bottles. one of the 3 colours in draconic black, is funnily enough, black.
I'd have been quite excited to chase a Battlefield Medic companion but I got two from the Winter Festival. None of the other rewards excite me that much but I love The HEs and the campaign currencies are most welcome. Plus I've accumulated about 25 Defence Supplies so far. Can't decide whether to AH 'em, trade 'em in or keep 'em for next time.

so would I, that's why I made her to look like that.
As would I. With my sword. *evil laugh*
