Not gonna rant too hard, but I dont get this:
"...we found that most players could rush through the event in the first few days and then went back to clean up a few feats afterwards. That was the extent of their engagement for the entire 2 weeks and there was little reason to continue playing this mode."
how on earth do you not formulate something very similar about the Challenges? Event is 3 days long, you rush the highest chapter you can in 4 minutes, then you return to finish the feats, then gg. Conquest had a near-perfect time schedulment compared to the challenges....
