PLEASE CLOSE THREAD, I am sick of immature, stupid people personally insulting me just because I am saying what I think rather than sucking up to Anet. You all make me sick and show everything that is wrong with these forums and everything that is wrong with people in game. I think you really are pathetic.
Most people who replied to this either insulted me personally which is just off here, or continually claim that we CANNOT SHOULD NOT AND MUST NOT criticise ANET. That is utter bs. It is only criticism that advances the game. I will never post my opinions on these forums again I think you should be ashamed.
When I posted here I expected criticism of my opinion, not ciriticism of my personality. The last thing I want is damned life lessons from you people. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY OPINIONS ON A BLOODY COMPUTER GAME AND THE WAY I LIVE MY LIFE, and the fact that you people cannot see it is disheartening and repulsive.
Worst. Event. Ever.

I fail to see how free hats and mini pig pets for all make this a bad event.
Psuedo Halgoen
That is just your opinion.
I think the hats are the best ones to date. They dye really well and look pretty spiffy imo.
So you paid 60k for a pig, more fool you. Sorry but that's just the way it is. As for the chef's I do agree here, it was a slighty silly idea and the rewards just don't warrant the effort spent by those (imo, stupidly) farming the items for the ingredients.
I'd give this event a 7/10.

The only thing I disliked about this event, was the lack of an exciting ending like every other event that I've been to had. This one lacked sorely in the entertaining department at the end.

I thought it was fun, though i still have my complaints.
The hats are traditional chinese new year type lion heads, if you dont like them...then why did you go to a chinese themed event ;P Personally, i thin they are very cute.
The ending was a bit anti-climactic and only caused massive lag on my end. I have a HUGE headache from staying up.
I love love love rollerbeetle racing.
I think the chefs should have been more generous with some of those ingredients, some people PAID a lot of money for them. This is what i truly feared, all that farming, was not worth the time invested.

Sounds like your raging because you only get a simple reward from a weekend for everyone.
Yes sadlt it's true. there is no exclusive item that you can sell for uber $$$ and the required 10-25 ectos.
I feel sorry for the folks who brought mini pigs for 30ks, what a shame. But then again I guess they did get what they paid for. A mini-pet back when they were semi-exclusive
But dam dude let go of the Anger before it consumes you, it not even that much of a big deal.
Your not meant to get rich off events, there about building a community

I do agree with the pig and the chefs..
A guildie and I did farm for almost all of it and after getting one token for each one was a joke.

The best might be yet to come, as the event is not closing until tomorrow morning. So we might still get the Invasion of the Nian as part of the final visit

"Mini pig fiasco"... I rofl at you.
++ Rollerbeetle racing
+ Hopeless Romantic quest (it amused me)
+ Mini pig, regardless of whether everybody has one or not
- Farming for hours to get items just for that
-- Anti-climactic finale
- The mask frightens me a bit
All in all, I think it about evens itself out for me.

Nope, there won't be any bigger "finale" later. The information page just wanted to tell you that the "last" hat-giving finale will be at the time specified.

Chasing the pig around was something, if anything actually came of it. No gifts dropped, nothing chased us around while we had to bring something to someone..or anything like that..it was just be idol talk in caps and chase that pig around for no reason.

I know for a fact that many many many people also spent a lot of time to earn a mini pig and also were extremely disappointed when they got handed out free for all so enough of this righteous rubbish. COngrats to all those who are so pleased about getting one for free, what you can't see is that others spent a LOT of time WORKING for one, only to have everyone get one for literally nothing.
Zedd Kun
It sucked.. I spended 30k on tokens, 75g each, and I didn't get one single pig.. -.-
mr master
I have to agree that this event was a let down. I dont like the masks and I was so proud of my pig until the dull ending in which everyone rejoiced in receiving one. Trying hard to get the pig is fair enough, it was hard to get and rock, paper, scissors was a drain.
It sure is going to be the year of the pig with them swarming our ankles in every town.

There were lots of people who opened up hundreds of fortunes and didn't get a pig. I'm sure many of those people are pleased now that they were able to get one. It's nobody's fault but your own that you wasted time trying to get a pig from a lunar fortune.
So you don't have an item that you can sell for lots of money and you can't use the mini pig for a status symbol. Oh well, you'll get over it.
pork soldier
~200 fortunes and no pig later, well, I'm happy I got one.
To everyone who disliked the event I have two words for you: Pig + Catapult.

Personally the OP is just crying because he didnt get to milk the event. personally i opened arround 100k worth of lunar fortunes no pig so im STOKED i get one after all my hard work. Yet i am a little heartbroken i missed the chance to milk it but be happy for what you're given
garethporlest18
I think it was the lack of interaction that was involved. Now you could interact if you wanted, although there wasn't much to interact with. But not like the other events, where you'd have to actually interact to get something. This time, you only get about 5-10 tokens..which is 3 of those things at max.. don't even have to do anything to get your pig or red bags, because other people can do it for you.
That's the only thing that let me down, just wish there was more to do in this event that didn't take going out to places, getting frustrated trying to get collector items that won't drop.

Well people thought the only way to get the pig was from a lunar fortune so how is it his fault he tried to get one?

You really don't have a clue what I'm talking about, do you? Simply: Many people -worked- for a mini pig, a lot of time and a lot of effort. THEN every single person gets a pig for nothing. Now how on earth is that fair? I take my time seriously, not my internet thank you very much. And don't give me the rubbish about wasting my time opening fortunes, thousands upon thousands of people did it, as it was the only way to get a pig and should have remained so.

So Oblivion, now that you've gotten what you're pissed off about said, why not tell what you wanted to happen instead?

I pity those who bought tokens, fortunes or a Mini Pig. What the hell is the point of a Mini Pig everyone has? Towns are going to be literally crawling with these things.

OP has a lot of good points.
I think a lot of the problems he raises stem from Anet not making it clear how the event plays out beforehand, thus leaving players in the dark and having to speculate based on nothing about the best course of action. Then when their speculations result in frustration, it's understandable.
Events would go a lot smoother if Anet was 100% clear about everything related to the event before the fact.

Omg people this is a free event that gave out nice free items and people are complaining. I personally love every part of this event. Although I do wished we had an ending like the Dragon Festival (running orbs FTW) I enjoyed this event alot. I also liked how everyone got presents then we could actually party. In all other events when presents spawned afterwards no one actually partied or danced, they just scrambled for presents.
Well thats my opinion, thanks so much for this event Anet!

I spent many hours farming every single one of the items for the chefs and I was the only person in my district that turned in every single item. How is that fair?
Oh wait. I chose to spend my time farming those items.

I don't know why everytime there is an event people have to make a rage thread. JUST STOP! I for one really enjoyed the event, I spent most of the time trying to get a mini pig just by doing the quests and trading for the fortunes until I found out about the R/P/S in LA that was fun. I didn't get a pig from the fortunes even after doing all the quests on 3 of my chars. But you know what I didn't really care, some of the stuff was fun to do and the quests were enjoyable. But w/e I guess people always have to complain about free stuff. I was glad to recieve a mini pig at the end of the event, but I think that they should change the color of it from gold to white, because it isn't rare anymore when everyone gets one. and I spent the event with friends and had a blast. So you go ahead and complain about these events, because Anet reads the fan forums and they just won't throw events like this if all people do is complain.

Pigs are rare!
Next year it aint gonna be the Royal celestial Oinkness that appears, its a once every 12 years thing, that alot harder then 1 yr b'day

That being said, you asked for our thoughts. Now that you're getting them and they don't agree with yours, you're getting pissed.
The Ernada
I liked the whole event overall.
The only real gripe I have was about the chef ingrediants. Farming some of those items was a pain and the "personal" return was pitiful and it still doesnt guarantee that you'd get a mini pig since the district could fail. I would have liked it better if you got a mini pig just for having all the ingrediants to one dish.
I STILL dont have a mini pig after hours of farming. I had horrible luck with the fortunes. And had bad luck with a bad district that failed. I had all the ingrediants that I spent hours getting and still didnt get a pig.
But I dont see how the OP could complain about everything about the event. It wasnt perfect but it wasnt nearly as bad as he made it out to be.

I think the event was better than I made it for myself. I spent most of my small amount of time on gw this weekend farming tokens for something I could have bought at any time which I get for free at the end of the event and didnt enjoy the rest of the event as much.
