Events/Rewards (Dissapointing) - Request Please

Hello Folks,
This is a two part topic for both feedback on recent events and the possible future events which will arise over the next coming months & years.
Dissapointing
May I say that in my opinion and many others which will jump on this thread the event rewards from recent events have been very dissapointing compared to previous events, We all understand that many things in NW are a grind... which we are more than happy to deal with but unfortunately the rewards which we receive after completing are so useless or even not worth taking part it's quite untrue.
I would sincerely like to see more rewards which are of a higher quality (I'm not talking Rank 12 Enchantments) just pretty much worth doing these events which will also in turn give more impact and emphasism on the events in question leading to a better experience and promotional value for all. I remember 12 months or so ago we had an event where we had a nice drop ratio of particular boxes ( I can't think of name now) but inside were Astral Diamonds, Tarmalune Bars, Mounts, Companions and a whole host of other rewards, back in the day of "BOP" not being active when completing DD's etc, we had nice drops for completion of DD's which we could also use or sell these items to enhance our bank funds of Astral Diamonds. Now... with a starving community of these items it has become very difficult IMO to achieve a decent ratio of Astral Diamonds which also coincides with the loss of some Epic Dungeons and the ability to have a good ratio of drops.
I'd really like to see this change or some events which were more rewarding for our hard work.
Requests
These are some of the things of the top of my head which we had over 12 months or more ago in certain events and hopefully we can see this arise in future events.
Kinds Regards & Hope we can all jump on this thread and highlight.

- Mounts
- Companions
- Rank 7+ Enchantments
- Costume/Outfits
- Custom Colour Dye Packs (Choose our own palette colour, people would love that option)

Then either put in only 5 fireworks for a chance on 1 favour, or at least 200 for 1-2 favour, or at least 500 for 2-3 favour.
But don't forget to place any spare fireworks into the shared bank tab, otherwhise they will be used up too.
And make sure to get the fireworks buff at the end of the event at the firework mortar.
To sum it up, it looks like they are really set on turning every- and anything into a grind for the players.
I wouldn't even go that far to ask for some high quality event rewards, but 5+ favour from the daily quest shouldn't be too much to ask for... but instead we got another coupon.
Just curious here, but will the next daily event rewards also be turned into coupons for the ZEN shop?
New players get free AD for selling stuff from it and everyone gets rewards for pretty much just doing whatever it is they planned on doing as long as they return to PE every 30 mins. The coupons will come in handy at some point, and the guaranteed character slots discount will be a godsend for newbies and anyone who needs an AD generation boost. People who don't see the significance of that (vs tarmalunes/fashions/enchantments, etc) need to be slapped. Repeatedly.
So far this has been the one of the only events that actually gives a nod to long term AD generation-planning.
Anyway PE also looks nicer at night, and the fireworks (the large dragon at the end, especially) is pretty good.
The bell (the only item with any PvE/PvP significance) is only worth 20k AD so I find it extremely funny that there people are complaining about the event being grindy. It just shows how screwed up their priorities are.
The event directly rewards two things: time and zen. It rewards people who participate (DUH) with tokens and people who spend zen with coupons.
People with a lot of time in their hands will probably find the event pretty lucrative, and all they have to do is make a quick detour every 30 mins.
If you can't be online for extended periods then you'll have to juggle participation with converting/buying zen or buying fireworks/event stuff from the AH. The coupons should compensate for that though (they're very easy to get and are the main reward) as well as the fact you're not really missing out on much if you choose to participate minimally and devote your limited time to improving your character/s (which is what you should be doing).
Bottomline, just enjoy.
Pretty much the only people who are actually screwed are the completionists, but they have been since mod 2 (probably mod 1) so I have no idea why they're still going on about this.
And probably add them as daily "reward" to any event... just perfect... not.
I exchange AD to ZEN on a regular basis, and even i think that coupons from refinement bags are more then enough, no need to slap those coupons into everyones face through daily event rewards too.
A daily event reward should actually reward you with something usefull from or for that particular event!
At some point you really have to stand up and say, no thank you!
Can you stacks dozens of them from different characters?
-angry remark snipped-
But it raises the question, why even bother with this?
With all those changes, trying to get more and more money out of the players, without delivering real bug fixes or fresh content, the fun to play is leaving this game a bit more patch after patch.
At some point, even the loyalist player will have enough of this, and say thank you for the fun, but time to move on...
This is NOT how the Celebration was run last year. I do put real money into the game but this is starting to get ridiculous. Has Cryptic decided to employ three million new staff who require paying? It's the only reason I can find for making events impossible for those who cannot use real money to win.
I would suggest you now advertise this game as a "Pay to Win" as it's now nothing else. It is more certainly not free to play.
