The reason why event boss was up for a week was because we have been killing this event on spawn for weeks and all we have seen are 4 Godly necks (ranger, rogue and 4 fire mage), a few Imperial necks/charms and a bank so full of armour rings it makes the person lagg when he logs in. Imo the royal necks arent better than Skain necks, so people dont like the royals either. When OTM changed the drop rate we had a little bit of hope, although the real problem was never fixed: the insane amount of HP and resists. I still want to kill this event because I love the Godly Ice neck and charm, the others are just so unmotivated after seeing so many armour rings.
Yeah certainly sucks, most servers end up the same after months of crap drops, most of the hardcore campers in my clan got what they wanted and the boss doesn't die much now but we did get a lot of decent drops farming it in the beginning
The difference is raid bosses take 15 mins and spawn every couple days, whereas the event boss takes 30 mins and spawns every 5 hours.
I agree the main boss should be kill able in 15 mins with 8-12 characters not disagreeing about the issue just saying if you want the drops you gotta farm it and you will get them eventually
