Event sucks, here is my take.

So the event is straight terrible. Heavy sided factions will get even more rewards from being able to take over the whole event. All other rewards will take forever to get and then you get the "bundle" that aion loves to give so much that only comes with 1 item..

If mobs dropped event coins and then we could trade those event coins in, this would allow everyone the opportunity to grind mobs/ grind crafting drops/ etc and then give everyone 100% exp/drop rates.
