Where's the whine?

I remember a few month ago, there was major whining over the event quests involved with cathan new year. Player would delete characters to remake them to redo the quests to gain more rewards, effectively farming the non repeatable quests. This was fixed by adding a lvl 5 character requirement.
But now that the dragon festival is here, and these quest are not nerfed the same way. Victory tokens can be farmed continuously.
And no mention of this on Guru. With all the whining with ursan and sf, this amazes me. I sorta wondered if they are so pissed about ursan and sf to care about this, or mb they decided they rather have the ability to exploit these quests for there gains.
To be honest if you have 2 accounts, running gwx2 ( or two computers), you can farm 480 victory tokens in 20-30 minutes( worth 8-10k per stack) . This can be more income than the sf farm, and it not random drops. Now if you had 4 accounts running at the same time...
Personally i have no problem with them not nerfing it, it removes income from rich players wanting titles, and give it to the poor that don't care about them. I just don't like the inconsistency.

Eh.. who cares really.

I love whine, pour me a glass.

Events = money, so it's best to just make money if you need it, there's nothing to lose really.

These quests arent as easy (for a level 1) as the others, having to fight level 5-12ish guys all over the map isnt an option for most level ones. I think that is why they did not bother with a cap. Granted you could do with a guidie runnig 3 new chars but still.

Actually, if it's the quest about the glittering dust, I made over 400k in two days because I would just remake characters. I'd make 2.5k every 5 minutes.

I wouldn't consider it a big concern.

Let's take for example someone having one account and five characters. Gaining 240 (yes, you get 240, not 250 Tokens from all four quests) Tokens five times is 1200 Tokens.

Take away 250 Tokens for a mask will give me 950 Tokens to do with whatever one pleases. Assuming that person will be lucky enough to sell the Tokens at 100 gold each, that comes to... 95k!

If you can do it, it works and you're doing it in a way that wont screw your account and game play... then there's nothing else more to say.

People who complain FAIL. End of story.

Everyone knows that this festival is for the sole purpose of making your character stand around and fall over every so often whilst you watch TV. Fact.

I might, however, complete the quests with each of my characters.

So now people are bitching because there's not enough bitching?

Makes sense.
