I know there are hundreds of posts on the Xmas event but this on is me asking to get rid of it. Honestly, it just creates huge lag and can crash peoples clients upon logging into the game. The amount of people participating in this event makes it incomparably hard to kill a snowman even with bow. Also...the drops are not worth it...chi stones, fireworks and the occasional Dice Ticket. If you think this is just a waste of time...post it here, caus I want the GM's to get rid of this event. One more thing I forgot to mention is that it makes it impossible to do the lvl 20-29 quests. And right now because of the Tideborn, there are alot of people in that category.

    I want it to STAY, it's about time we had an actual event and not some lametastic sale.

    suck it up and deal with it, or stay off PWI a week.

    some of us want to enjoy an event.

    Oh hai der QQ.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    You forgot the "don't care" option in the poll. Seriously do you want them to have a 'xmas pack' sale at the same time as anni packs instead or what?

    Probably not a cs baby anyway, just someone who doesn't understand the usefulness of the snowmen. If I was new and didn't know anything about genies and whatnot, these chi stones would be completely useless to me...and as a low level it's frustrating when you can't get drops but high levels do. b:surrender

    Just gotta get the hang of it though, and a good spot.

    I love the Christmas event. Unfortunately, I am wrapping presents, cleaning house, and am deep into the holiday baking right now, so am unable to participate. I do hope that once I am free they will double, or even triple, the number of snowmen that are spawned, because the servers are heavy with the lag of added tideN00bz (haha including my new assassin!) and there just aren't enough snowmen to go around. MOAR SNOWMENZ PLOX! KTHNX! b:victory

    It's nice to have an event but an event that requires me to get a bow and arrows for my wiz to participate in is lame. I'm not hating on it or QQing I just won't participate in it. I'm not the only person who feels this way. If some people like this event then enjoy it but I don't. b:bye

    This year's Christmas event is a joke. What event? A handful of snowmen in the cities that people without a bow shouldn't even bother attempting to kill is an event?

    I thought it would be good when I found the quest for the living snowmen. But apparently this year we just get a quest that we can't complete because there are no living snowmen. Yay, a quest to trash and extra lag! Great event.

    It makes me lag even more when i'm in arch to get my bh T.T
    And what do they drop? Stupid chi stones and some firework.. You can get those chi stones if you decompose equipment too..

    But I'm trying to stay out of arch now. I'm just doing quests in the swamp and where ever i have to go for quests. But it sure is lame that when you finally kill a snowmen it doesn't drop anything T.T

    well maybe for u the chi stones seem good but ann packs were only for high lvls and high lvls have better ways to make chi stones i was merely saying u cant compare ann packs to chi stones lol

    i personaly think the event is good in some way even tho it involves being in a lagy town only.

    in an hour or so at lvl 35 i managed to get 35% and 120k stamina for my genie and quite alot of hell/heaven/human stones, not to shabby me thinks.

    I do not want to get rid of this event. It's useful to me. I love the Chi stones. What does it have with the possibility of doindg 220-29 quests?

    No living snowmen is a big no-no. But... you know, I'm an assassin and I managed to kill snowmen for the worth of 90k stamina for my genie. And no, I don't use always throw knife ;)

    Yes, you can get the chi stones if you decompose things... but how much equip I would have to decompose to get that amount?

    I completed my mirage with the drops from snowmen, got some hp/mp stuff. I really can't complain, you know.

    I agree with this. They should have made it so that there are snowmen in every town with a teleporter. That way it would spread people out across the map and reduce the lag in the large cities.
