Anyone else disappointed with Feast of Winter Veil?

[Holyshnikies]

Seem like a waste of a holiday event. Nothing really worth doing. Granted they offer a very low drop rate chance to get an epic dagger. (Grats Rogues)

Everyone else is kinda left out. Why not offer a chance to get a weapon that can benefit every class. And maybe offer a dungeon to port into to fight. Kinda like Brewfest.

Blizz... Are you saying Brewfest is a bigger gift of giving than Christmas!?

Otherwise, these daggers are nothing more than auction house items and a waste of a time for this event.

So is anyone else not even bothering with this event?

1. It is better than the real world equivalent
2. I get to unwrap presents on the 25th, doesn't happen in the real world.
3. Just because something is the same every year, doesn't make it rubbish - it makes it tradition

[Aviney]

All in game holiday events are like this. None of them are super special. Sure, people might have a preference to Brewfest or Hallow's End, but they're all just full of little time wasters. After doing them on my main years ago, I really don't take part of them, but I will be logging on and opening my present of the 25th. If for no reason than that I always do if I'm playing at that time.

Wow.

We really do have to be "disappointed" with literally every little thing, don't we?

[Rivin]

Well, there's a companion pet too, if you don't have it already (and care about that :U).

[Saffa]

It is the same as every year, no reason for it to be upgraded. We get our presents under the tree about 24th December, think it is all over 15 get a pet. If you have not got it you can work towards the title. Not every festival has to be about big gear upgrades. This one is a fun one to match the season festivity for some religions.

Blizz... Are you saying Brewfest is a bigger gift of giving than Christmas!? Different events are different, whowuddathunk.

Otherwise, these daggers are nothing more than auction house items and a waste of a time for this event. Daggers? I do it for achievements, pets, vanity items and the holiday feel

So is anyone else not even bothering with this event?

My opinions on bold.

where do i get said pet??

where do i get said pet??

It drops from the holiday boss's loot bag.

[Holyshnikies]

Never said that did I?

[aztr0]

Disappointed as in I don't care to log in for it?

[Tziva]

I'm not disappointed. It's nothing fancy, but it's hard for me to be disappointed at a fun, special event. Already with these kind of things, I appreciate that Blizzard has even implemented them, so them not being fancy enough for me is kinda looking a gift horse in the mouth. I think it's cool that we get special goodies and whatever, even if it's only just killing the Greench for a bag of silly toys every day.

Lumpy!

To paste from my wowdb comment: This little guy is learned from the Lump of Coal, which is a rare drop from the Stolen Present rewarded for completing the Winter Veil holiday quest You're a Mean One....

[ablib]

Winter Veil is one of my favorite holidays. Unlike a lot of small minds that play this game, I don't need to be rewarded with loot, to find something fun or worth doing.

[Thulvaso]

I don't need fancy loot, epic items etc to enjoy this holiday. Seeing people in Ironforge with reindeer mounts and the Christmas costumes is all I need.

The decorations..the feel of the whole event is what I like. There is a bit of PvP action at the holiday boss on my server.

[chocobo606]

Part of me wishes I had some sort of evil santa to kill to obtain some cool mount, rare drop like the horsemen or just a temporary one like the brooms that isn't a reindeer. Maybe a giant 2 person sleigh. I'd like to kill a robot santa like in Futurama.

[Justignoreme]

What is wrong with u OP? It's a fun and festive world event with silly things to do that are supposed to be whimsical not super rewarded with awesome stuff. Ya, there's no mount like brewfest; so what? Is your measure of worthwhile entirely based on the potential epics you can get? Players like this really ruin the quality of the game; they can't have fun for the sake of fun -.-

[Spiral]

doesn't seem like there's as much to do as there is in other holidays

[mgs]

What happened to the Lord Ahune btw? Didn't we get to fight the scary dude who dropped an awesome looking scythe and a bunch of capes? Why replace him with Grinch who doesn't even drop anything good.

Let's not pretend, folks, WoW is a loot-p0rn game. I.e. you WANT TO GET MORE LOOT. Once you don't have it - it's a different kind of game.

[Dilbon]

What happened to the Lord Ahune btw?

He's the midsummer boss, so wrong season.

More than others, and there's a LOT more to do than there used to be.
