Not to mention, that the whole refining process needs some serious slimming down. And that the "Profession Packs" are completely worthless, the percentage on those Supplements are way to low to even matter, i burned through several of them during crafting without seeing any improvement in the results.
And for the love of Gond, please change that Apparatus Doohickey and any other "Limited Event Item" to bound to account.
In fact just get rid of the random chances. I don't mind grinding for something I want, just set the price and I will grind or choose not to.
I could easily be overlooking something, but most events offer up their rewards at a set price; Get X amount of event currency, buy special event item X. Get Y amount and buy special event item Y. Simple.
Having to grind for things that I then have to refine that could disappear at any point on a failed attempt and then probably get some stuff that was in no way near the effort?
That doesn't sound fun.
If they want to keep with the crafting element of things then let players buy components that are used in special crafting projects to build their own mounts.
Just set the price of the components and let the players buy what they want.
If they want to add a random element then let that come in the form of special drops; Rather than enemies dropping event currency let them drop event boxes that drop event currency 99% of the time but that other 1% they drop something special.
Either one of the purchasable reward items or possibly a completely unique reward only available from that special drop.
