Week 2 Anniversary Event (QQ within)

We're about halfway through week 2 of the 5 week anniversary event in The Elder Scrolls Online, and I just gotta say this sucks. 

I've spent every minute in-game either doing WB/delve dailies or working towards opening them up on an alt, and have received only 3 Lyris Titanborn style pages, 1 of which was a duplicate.

This contrasts greatly with week 1, in which we could do crafting writs very quickly and the Prophet was all too eager to drop his robe. 

C'mon ZOS, I love this game, but this is ruining it for me.

People are selling the pages for anywhere from 10k (rare) to 60k gold per. One was gifted to me and I paid a guildie for another one, which means I'm still short 4. 

My biggest complaint is that it takes a LOT longer to do these dailies than it does to do crafting writs, yet we are getting fewer items and worse loot than before. In almost every single box I've opened, I've received a stack of 5 and a stack of 20 white crafting materials. The first week, in addition to getting all the Prophet pages over and over again, I also got a ton of rare and valuable motifs. Maybe it was excessive, but this event is supposed to be fun and right now, it's the opposite. It's an annoying, mind-numbing grind that takes way too much time for way too little reward. If I wanted that, I'd go back to playing Black Desert Online!

I really wish someone at ZOS would hotfix the drop rate on Lyris pages. This is such shit, much depress. I can't even do anything fun in the game because I'm too focused on getting crappy reward boxes. It's ruining my fun and making me dread logging in. I'm not going to quit just because it's a nuisance, but I'm definitely going to complain about it and try to get people to listen. I can't even imagine how bad this would be on someone with a very limited amount of time to play.

As far as I was aware, the whole point of the ESO anniversary event was for us all to come together and unite in our love for The Elder Scrolls, take part in fun activities and get rewarded for them! This is not that. Grinding mindlessly (especially in delves that utilize a flat map but have varying levels within which I get lost and waste a ton of time) isn't fun! Last I checked, fun is what we're all here to have, right? Let's remove the stressors and increase the drop rate. I don't like being forced to do anything, least of all take part in un-fun things within a game I play to shed the day's unpleasantries. Sure, it's more game-like than week 1's endless writ grind, but it's also a source of endless frustration because of the terrible drop rate and disappointing white crafting mats. 

I'm so tired, ZOS, please...

In other news, I'm now a Psijic Mystic on my magicka sorceress.

Oh yeah, and Game of Thrones is back on TV. Now I get to watch the show I regret ever having started watching in its final, sped up season. I'm so worried they're going to muck it up and I know they're going to be cramming too much into each episode. Last night's wasn't bad, but I am very worried that certain fan theories are going to turn out true and I like the way I envision the story ending better than what the show creators wrote. Yeah, I get that there's no happily ever after in this world, but just a little bit, maybe? 

If you're on Instagram, follow me. I make jewelry and my posts are way more positive than this whole mess of a rant-fest has been.

GLHF and have a beautiful day!
