More grinding! I don't do any PvP/GvG/ farming or grinding unless is a must; like the 10K factions you need to go on with the game. I never did the Luxons side for that, after I befriended the Kurzicks I had enough of repeating the same quest to collect the factions to start again.

I really, really hate the grinding/collecting part of the games!
Oh well there will be other thinghs to do .... I still like the game tho!

Uh, why do you say, "more grinding" when you don't do any in the first place. Play the game and you'll get the necessary drops. Do the quests involved with the event, and you'll get the necessary drops.

At least you don't have to do them for every character now like we did last year. You can just copy the mask.

ah come on seriously. There is the festival hat guy. So no need for getting it on more then 1 char. And at 75 orbs a quest. It will take less then an hour to get it. Stop whining

I think what OP was more concerned about is that previosly, Victory Tokens where only aquired through the Dragon Areana and the Boardwalk.

You're thinking of the jade wind orbs that were used for last year's festival. Victory tokens only came from winning the PvP games or from boardwalk prizes(not a viable way of getting enough), but no quest gave them as a reward. Looks like for this year they have combined the PvP/PvE trade-in items and are just using the tokens.

They are likely going to make the quests from last year give you Victory Tokens instead of Jade Wind Orbs. It doesn't make much sense, but at least it would reduce th need to do Dragon Arena / Rollerbeetle races.

First of all it's not a necessity, it's a luxury. Secondly, if you don't want to do the quests for it then don't do it. If you do want it then do the quests and stop whining about it.

They were easy to come by with quests last year, I assume they will be the same this year.

i also remember you could get the tokens in the prize box's you trade the festivle tickets in for - not sure if you get enough to make buying tickets worth it or not, but that way it just cost you gold instead of time grinding.

Different events. Its very ease to get 250 of these tokens for a hat, more so now. Back when it first started ppl had to do this x6-7 for their characters. Now you can copy hats at the NPC. Meaning...you can get all you need in under a day.

That demon mask is well ugly, its mom wouldn't kiss it. I rather have the same dragon mask as last year. I was away last year so I missed it.

I'll just be 'forced' to grind through 15 minutes of quests without yer whiny self to get a completely optional and irrelevant mask with no redeeming features.
