The event was ruined by the following.

Choice of Badge;
- 2yrs had elapsed since the last Dragkin, but the "art team's" best approach was to essentially recycle the same badge among the solo and group, and to the Top10s and 50s? Very insulting to the top players.

Kraken Armor;
It was released just 1 week prior - making it very scarce, which only the wealthy players can afford. If you strategically planned this for consumers to naturally open more crates than usual, then was the extra plat revenue worth the expense of ruining the event for everyone?

Fish Oil Elixirs:
Many threads suggesting to disable tames. Consumables shouldn't be influencing gameplay to this extent, and shouldn't be the key to be getting an lb spot, of a non-recurring event - especially when they can only be used by 1% of the community that is willing to spend up to 9 figures on..... elixirs.

These factors made it discouraging, lessened the challenge. Personally, the banners that the players fought for to be changed last minute before the event went live, was the only thing aesthetically pleasing to look at along the Black badge.

The pay2win was painfully obvious when y’all released the 81 arcanes and helmets 1 WEEK before this event. I always liked how players could farm for a year to prepare for this event. People would spend gold on the newly released gears and awakening events and it felt like temple was the final challenge to test your skills in the current meta. But when y’all release 81 arcanes out of the blue, it’s like spitting on the f2p players that prepared for this event.

I was somewhat fine with the fish elixirs being there. Although it isn’t ideal, players at least had a few months to collect their elixirs. But the release of 81 arcanes was such a curveball, it truly ruined the event. Almost all (if not all) of the top 10 players probably used or had to borrow 81 arcane armor. This event changed from f2p player friendly to extremely p2w. Great job disappointing the f2p players
