Thoughts on events

So, speaking about events :
I'll group the different kinds of events and share my thoughts about them. I've got the strong feeling that the developers are not aware on how we perceive those events - correct me if you disagree.

Daily events :
TG
Nice idea, steady income, but : it's just a quick grind that doesn't add any fun or challenge and is particulary useless to try out new ideas.

AcrIx
Love it. A bit more challenging, but nearly impossible to not reach max progression. Also some kind of daily grind but with great payout.

Totp
Yeah.. I like the challenge. But HOU packs as reward just don't feel worth it. Why not give it a new name (not necessary) and make it award RIX or DOM packs?

Pvp

EC & Terrors in the tinikitty
Cool. Good rewards, 3 nodes, doesn't feel grind. Good for early week.

Inventors fair + EO + FirF
Long time not seen. Could be a nice refresh, don't you think? I don't like these events particulary, but they're a good option to refresh the schedule. Just don't make them enraged.


NOP
Original nop anyone? Still, a great event. Just don't run it simultaneously to another 5 node event, that's just no fun at all.

 HoD
Yeah.. It's getting boring, doesn't it? I like this event as such, but just throwing it in with ever returning bolas is boring. 3 nodes, not too grindy.

ToA
I mean.. Why not? Even if it is basically HoD out of standard

Planeswalker Arena
That's the one I miss most! Finally a good reason to dig up old planeswalkers, not grindy, only with totally stupid secondaries

PvE

All no charge legacy PvEs

Why do they run so long? It's pointless for me. I take up on them, finish in 30 minutes and that's it. They could all run at the same time, I wouldn't feel overwhelmed

FS & ratc
They run at the right interval and the rewards are worth it

Oatg 1&2
Why would the two give kld rewards? That's just wrong. Make the rewards standard or just the right set!

R2O
Well.. Thanks for the grindfest. 5 nodes pve should have kept exclusively for AM.

AM
Also 5 node pve, but as our only legacy coalition event I wouldn't complain

AWR
The first coalition event that could totally be run during the week! For the weekend, it's just too little too be run alone (perfect match for nop)

I feel I missed some events like the hour of "first pve event of hou". Would love to have a go there again!

Generally one thing I hear a lot of complaints about is the unwillingness to reward us with cards from the latest two sets in events. This might be obsolete after we see the new pve events next week.
By the way :hasn't there been an individual leader board for pve events as well? That'd be a motivation for more competition at the top!

    Super fun in the sun.  We love it.  Make it a Rivals pack instead of Ixalan.  Ixalan packs = a pack of 5-common sadness.

    R2O.
    Not fun.  No like.  Boo.  Hiss.

    Avacyn's Madness
    Bring it back.  We all loved it.  More of events like this.  All the yes.

    Battle of the Four Tribes
    Reduce power, especially with vampires.  You took away a lot of our powerful cards when shifting-out Amonkhet, but the event bosses are just as overpowered.

    I think literally any even is fine if you could toggle a switch to choose your reward:  "Runes, Orbs, Gold, Packs, Cards".

    Also, they should let us pay like $10 cash to reset Story Mode.

    And they could let us pay like $1-$3 cash to reset an event.

    Also, a toggle on Training Grounds to switch between "Legacy" and "Standard" would make it more of an actual Training Grounds.

    If it's not going to be an actual deck testing event, then give us back the cumulative win percentage that says you won 1,000 games in a row or whatever.
