I like the event. There are finally tasks included involving trader and spells and we can now choose if we'd like to buy or spend KP. I also enjoy that some quest require more than one task for completion and other ones let you can choose between two option to complete the quest (buy or spend KP, gain or use a spell, ...). The time needed for completion is also well thought through. Lower levels and those who can't play much each day should still be able to manage while those with more time at hand can complete the event without any stress.
I'm glad the tier 1 goods can be collected at the same time now and not one after the other. It always took a long time to get the non-boosted goods (having been in a fellowship with low activity and only one active steel producer, it could take half a day and longer to get through these quests alone), now it's so much faster.
And the rewards are great. I didn't look at them beforehand so that it's been a pleasant surprise to get the dark signpost. The broken rune shards are helpful as well, but I've been particularly happy with the time booster. I'm finally able to skip running timers of 1 hour and less.
Thanks a lot.
