Am I the only one?

  The patience of facing the lag is a great achievement in itself.

  It's nice and all, but I don't like it how Nexon's using it as a crutch to fall back on whenever things go wrong.

  Well I LOVE this event, because 1. Nexon owes us and 2. I think they are doing this event so often because g13 is coming soon and they pity us. My evidence to support g13 coming out soon is this.
  
  

  
  Return of the Hero has been out in North America for just over a month. Have you had a chance to start Return of the Hero? Maybe you’re still somewhere in the story of Sword of the Gods. Regardless, we would like to challenge you to rise to the occasion and complete the Return of the Hero storyline. Changes are coming to Mabinogi and we want you to be ready!
  
  
  
  
  The Return of the Hero Completion Event will run from November 17th to December 14th. If you can complete Return of the Hero in this time, we will reward you with a Basic Character Card of the race you used to complete the event! Already completed Return of the Hero? Worry not; your reward will still be distributed after the event ends on December 14th.
  
  It’s time to become a hero!

  So from that I estimate g13 is coming shortly after this event. Thats just what I think though. It is sad to see people complaining over this event though. Some people can just never be pleased :/

  Even the sharpest knives become dull with the use.

  I'm pretty tired of it, as well.

  i don't like having to grind for weeks on end for one skill. i am lazy. if i can grind harder for 3 weeks to get 6 weeks' work done, i'm all for it. even though i would agree that this would be better being spaced out -- i'm getting a little tired of feeling obligated to grind all weekend @__@

  I love this event and all, but I think it should be something that happens occasionally...like maybe on special holidays. Not often and 3 weeks in a row, so I hope this is the last week. Mabinogi isn't supposed to be this easy.

  I like the event. It fun getting so much ap and lots of people are playing. My guildies are playing a lot so there's more people to talk to. For me at least the pros out weigh the cons. The only thing that bugs me, and I mean really bugs me, is the spawn lag. I just wish the servers were up to snuff on that end. That's the double rainbow killer for me. I'm not a hardcore player so even with double rainbow I just play how I want. I don't find the absolute most efficient way of doing anything just so that I can have top skills, lol. So the only thing that's changed for me is which skills I lazily rank. Now, I just have more people to hang with while doing it :D and more ap to use when I get around to it.

  1st Week was amazing but since servers crapped out on Sunday they compensated us with another week
  2nd Week Lag -_- but I worked on WM :D
  3rd Week I'm going to get WM to Rank 1 DAMN IT!
  
  So no, I like this event and what it earns me!

  Grinding isn't hard.
  
  Kill the event, keep the double everything and speed up monster agro. That'll add real challenge to the game while stopping the weekend lag and massive grindfest.

  I meant skills originally took a long amount of time to train shouldn't suddenly become easier often, since this wasn't how Mabi was even supposed to be. I don't mind occasional 2x rainbow, but I really hope it's not every week.

  I really liked this event, though I think they should have spread it out a bit. I mean, I wouldn't mind if event came back regularly like once a month or something, but once a week is kinda overkill. I guess it's to make up for the speedy updates we've had for the past few months.

  The only downside to this event that I see is the lag and stress on the servers. Everything else is fine by me.
• Haydrian wrote on 2010-11-28 01:20
  The only good event that's been held in a LONG time. Of course it will be abused.
  
  I have worked my fricken ass off to rank skills in this game i've rank 1'd windmill twice already for example. This event feels like a reward not things being just handed to me. Just be thankful you have the chance to gain an edge in something that you may have wanted to work on.
  
  
  Of all of the events i have muddled through since mid Iria patch this is the only one i truly like (aside from iria treasure chest). This one is actually beneficial. At least the events pre-iria were fun, all the ones after are just garbage for the most part. So no, i don't share this view in the least. Sadly i don't have all the time in the world to rank things i want to rank anymore.

  You know... If you dont want to utilize the double rainbow event you could just do nothing for the 4 days that they are running it. As a quote I have heard before, the needs of many outweigh the needs of the one.
  
  Replace needs with wants if you so desire.
