Yay! I have something to do this weekend! Last year I got enough victory tokens sold that I bought 2 elite armors on the same day. This year the money is going to good use if I sell any.

And I still have 12 left over, yay! Looking forward to it!

It is probably similar for 2009

1.) People go AFK the whole day in the "Nine Rings" to progress their lucky/unlucky title
2.) People do the Quests with as many chars as possible to exchange Victory Tokens for Booze, Sweets and so on. Some consume them for progress in the consumable title tracks, others sell them.
3.) There is a special Dragonball arena and a rollerbeetle racing event.

This is a major event in the life of some players. :P

I guess I can now say Bye bye to my weekend. Skillz farming time! And maybe now I can get rid of the 1082 tokens sitting in storage.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuurggggggggggh. Why do the dragon festival and the Aion closed beta have to be on the same weekend?

As badly as I want to work on lucky/unlucky, I'm gonna be playing Aion.

Lol, sorry GW. XD

Agreed. I'll collect the 250 orbs and just log on for one of the hat ceremonies. Would rather play Aion.

Yeah, because the only mini's during Dragon Festival are to be gotten in Rollerbeetle Racing. There never have been others.

I know I should be excited about this...but it's just gonna be the exact same thing as last year...same decorations, same quests, same masks. And I am really not looking forward to the lag. But eh...we'll see.

Who cares anymore. Honestly. Unless you're a farming freak you have no interest in these events anymore. They lose their flavor the 4th time around (even before that but whatever).

I like the Dragon Festivals, kind of surprises me to see people say they are bored of it. Same event year-after-year I understand, but couldn't you say this about any holiday?

TORMENT CLAW MASK PLEASE ANET!

Had to throw that in.
