I don't want this thread to get out of hand. Keep it civil. I just want to gather info. How many volley's did you obtain? How many of each ticket? What did you buy with the tickets? How many Mithril did you end up with and did you pull a Legendary? Over all opinions on the event.. and finally.. What could they change for next year to make the event better?
I ended with just under 32k volleys. 400+ Mith Tickets, with no Legendary Pull. Enjoy the video. Feedback always welcome!

Not a bust...got about 10M (20M during 2xRP) refinement, all the items from the event, and stacks of food/hero feasts.
IMO...it went a week too long
Food is nice but let's be honest. Food isn't some high value reward.
Improvements....
Sahha ball - either eliminate it or spend more time developing it. all it is right now is an out of bounds festival that lasts 7 minutes too long. I literally ran this once on all my toons so that I could make balls and never looked back.
Event rewards - FIX them. There's no reason I should get better rewards at rank 25 than I do for finishing Rank 1. And for gods sake shorten them. 15 minute events with a 5 minute break in between! What were they thinking. That it's fun to stand around and throw water balloons at people with a horrid targeting system for 15 minutes. It's not.
Everything about this event seemed to just take too long. And it didn't need to be extended. Pure cash grab at the last second. One would think the best option to get last minute spenders would have been to drop ball prices further.
It's a shame because I was looking forward to this event. But after the first night I would have been happy if this had just been a weekend event.

Sahha would have been pretty cool without the out of bounds and the check skill. I could even see it become a bit competitive. The out of bounds stuff killed it for me.
Events should have been about 5 mins each with 5 mins in between and offered tickets for ranking well. The balls should have been more thought out because it took players a day to realize the best way to max profit was to sit and kick the ball alone under a bridge.
All great feedback so far guys. Keep it up! Maybe next year they can adjust, and take some suggestions. And don't get me wrong. The event overall was alright..but some parts were indeed lacking. I don't think I will make a profit, but I might. Will have to see what the prices boil down to over the next few months.

That being said, I had roughly 47,000 volleys which I farmed with a group of friends who ran 12 or more toons through the daily flower collection grind, after having struggled through an mind numbing full day of sahha matches to get all the toons ready for crafting.
Lost count of tickets spent, but I pulled 2 Legendary mounts, bought 15 body paint, 160 amnian jadeite, ~50 brutal rank 7s and enough chefs hats to fill 3 bags on a storage alt lol.
All in all a rough grind, fell asleep in more than one party while standing under a bridge, but very profitable.
And it's HAMSTER like that..that makes me rage =P

The activity where BOOOORING, and again as said above, way too long ... like waaaaayyy too long.
In the end i wasted too many time celebrating the festivals on my 2 characters for around half of the event... as for the balls didn't drop a single zen on this (altough some of my friends did and i was in the group when they used them) So as expected no legendary/epic reward, i just made my free ball everyday and thats it. At least got some nice refinement and stonghold items for my guild so not bad...
But in the end the rewards vs time invested wasn't too great. Everything came out as boring. Winter Festival felt more entertaining altough it had its downs.
