if you don't like what you get, and you don't want to have fun, go and play the game as normal, and don't participate in the dragon festival...

otherwise,

Everyone remember snowman summoners? They have no use at all. They just either pop a snowman up, or drop one on your head. Also, the Wintersday weapons have no practical use (although 10-10 cold damage on a wand is fun).

The snowman summoners were hella fun, as where the ghost-in-a-boxes. I was hoping for something similar, but no such luck. Speed boosts? Not exciting for me, especially since theyre 375 a pop.

They agree with gamers in general that play the game for the fun of it, not to farm. Just like how they are against runners and they try to prevent that.
I hate farming in general because it isn't fun, but I won't deny that I did like candy canes, and I traded for quite a few over the Wintersday event. My guild mates like farming much more than me, and have well over 100 candy canes, ripe for the... whatever you do with them. Eat, sell, it's just a collectible to me .

I'm trying to stock up on bean cakes since I've always wanted to run around town. Its sort of a crap shoot, cause they only come in presents. I wish that there was a collector or choice for them though, or give out presents instead of orbs...or something...

The only item I've ever seen from the past two events that may be worth while is Candy Canes (remove death penatly on mission or explore zone). And the Witches Brew / Spike Ale/Nog.

Candy Canes = usefull
Witches Brew / Spike Ale/Nog = Better achool for then Dwarven/Hunters Ale for drunk title.

With Dragonfest and the rice wine being weaker then normal Dwarven/Hunters Ale and Bean cakes .. only working in town I say no.

What I would do / currently doing is having fun losing money and enjoying this once in lifetime event and I collect event masks
