It's not trash if it's better than what you currently have. I'm not sure if you're 60, but it seems like the 60s don't even want this blue dog yet they were the ones blitzing every spawn within half a second...
This event was definitely aimed toward 60s and/or people in established guilds to group together, both are absolutely the wrong ideas for a new game where most players are not 60 yet. I'm a lvl 48 cleric, so I may have done better than some, but it is impossible to think I can keep up with 60s and somehow get in to the top…
