Even though there isn't a whole lot to farm for in terms of selling for gold, the free farm-for-portals system that was brought back with minor touches from the Tarlok event has brought friends and guilds close together farming for these altars/portals once again. Everyone has the goal of obtaining a Nightshade and therefore, everyone is working together to open these portals to work for a common goal - and best of all, you dont have to spend a fortune to get what you want.
This is a huge step up from the energy-only system that was used in the last few events. The restrictions placed on players to participate have been considerably reduced because of this dual energy-portal farming system.
I don't mind if the drop rate of these altars have been reduced (if they even have been) as other players have speculated, its understandable that the fastest way to get a lot of points should be using the energy system, while the casual players are looking toward these altars to bring them up the tiers or casually farm enough tokens to buy whatever they want from the vendor. I really hope the Ursoth event coming up has also adopted this dual system!!
Thanks again, STS. This is a step in the right direction!
