CTA Event Requires too many repetitions

The new event structure requires too many repetitions; if it was 30 instances per event for 3 tokens, that might be somewhat reasonable (though even then it's excessive, boring, and repetitive), but having to do all 10 in one day means that the process of earning the new tokens is grueling and not particularly enjoyable. New content-or rather, new motivations to do old content-shouldn't feel like a painful slog.
Also, we still can't preview the item set bonus, so how is anyone supposed to be able to decipher whether it's even worth doing the event?
Please restructure the event; 3 tokens per CTA event isn't unreasonable (forcing players to participate over a wide variety of events instead of just focus on one seems reasonable), but the sheer amount of time that goes into getting the tokens is just painful and will deter players from actually bothering to participate because of how boring and repetitive the event is.
That's my feedback anyway.

Still I see we have Brutal's Rank 3 that drop, thought if I remember you can also earn Rank 4/5/6/7 from Chests as well? I found it usual that Waukeen's best chest however offered at Rank 5, yet perhaps they are encouraging more to upgrading the lower enchantments because they are more Rare.
FYI: No reply required just something to pass on as suggestions...

NOTE: I have heard rumor's however the repetitions may be desirable as a Purple Guard Drake can 'rarely' / 'sometimes' drop from the CTA chests as well. The Griffon will take a little longer to earn but still...
There also a [Alliance Battle Horn] that drops and offer's 35% AP regenerations & +4000 Power for 1 minute every 600 seconds similar to the one offered from Siege. So don't the event more often can have in fact some very nice rewards...
But NOPE.
First world problem
we are not talking about end game pieces, but weapons for alts .. so ya.. 4 cta events is too long. 1 cta event with 40 skirms wouldve been fine.
Frankly I want the peg leg. Now if they just made pirate fashions at a reasonable price instead a million+ AD in the market I would be happy. "Arrrrr" [taking like a pirate]
I did get a purple mount drop on the first day (the drake), So frankly I have nothing to complain about.
The only thing that can make the new set better is if it has some huge set bonus or if they increase its item level in the next event.
I guess that is technically still only an hour of gameplay a day, but some of us got lives!
When I run my SW through, he is so fast that I will typically light two if not all three fires myself then fly around doing cleanup. Of course the leechers throw a monkey wench into the formula.

I've had pretty much instantaneous queue, unless there are player declines.
it's not a give-away, we're earning a reward
10 runs (since they go so quickly) give you a chance to run around, figure out the fires, figure out if you don't fight the monsters by the fire it goes out, relight the fire & you get the optional kudo, realize if you want to fight frasr you need to head up there fast, that you need to pick up coins before frasr goes down & that, hey, some loser is just sitting by the fire because they're too good to work for the reward. and yes, it's boring by the last couple runs (take a look at the scenery or climb a snowpile & fire range weapons from there to change up the game) ...
and remember, it's a GAME & free with ways to earn/purchase (without real money) some of the really fun stuff...just takes more hard work.
I did have the drake drop on a run & the companion, so that was fun & works for me ...
events are fun, like hitting a local casino or playing the daily lotto; jubilee/winter fest are Vegas/Christmas
What makes this CTA frustrating is even if you play by the rules and are willing to role the dice, the game never pays off because there's a glitch & there's no info as to why it's happening or how to avoid the bug. Timely communication would make it all a whole lot better instead of everyone getting frustrated guessing! Thought the emergency patch was that communication but no joy
Cryptic or whoever sets up the events, seems to care that there's a 'fair' outcome to event glitches. Not always fast & not perfect, but they usually have some response rather than just pretending the problem never happened.
