These instant gratification events are too tailored to the millennial players who have entitlement right issues. A slow but worthy grind for something you want is the right direction for the game. Crate token system for Arcane pets is already good enough to bring pet prices down to farmable prices. Abtignome/banished sets were unicorn priced and worthy to farm as well before the thief came about. I highly recommend against these types of events from surfacing again for the greater health if the economy and the game experience.
