First of all, I want to say thank you for the event.
Second thing, I think this is why everyone is complaining about the event currency issue:

How do I earn event currency?
You can earn event currency for every post that you make in the forums! So get busy chatting. The earning rate is variable.

"The earning rate is variable."
This sentence right here, even made me wonder at how the event rate was going to go up or down, or if it even meant depending on how long your post is.
This is a sentence that I have generally learned to ignore, because it was also stated in the last few events I was in and the event currency didn't change.
the Easter event I believe we got a one full currency for it 1. (1 token per post is high in my opinion.)
The spring event If I remember correctly I came into the middle of that one, currency .50 (a decent amount to work with)
This event starting currency was .25, jumped to .30, then jumped to .75 more than likely because of the complaining.
I personally would haven been happy with just .50 it still makes you work hard, obviously not as hard as .25 currency. but gives you a fairly reachable goal if you can post enough times.
I am going to say though, that I don't see event currency as "free currency" though, because it still takes my valuable time to post to get those event tokens. Which I *am* willing to bust my butt to get them fairly.
I honestly find it upsetting that you wouldn't want people to work so hard (their hardest even) that they could get one set of all the event stuff.
and yes there are a lot of greedy people, but without that greed, you wouldn't be having people post nearly half as much giving your site tons of activity And last I know, events were to bring more activity to the site.
And yeah I know that the commons all go for double price after the event is over. I would still prefer to spend my hard earned tokes from posting on the event items. and save my hard earned coin for those items that I am questing instead.
But I know most of us are trying to make a goal out of getting them before the event is over. Which I feel as a great goal. I wont be terribly upset if I don't get all the item with just event currency. But I will be overjoyed if I am able to make it. Because I will have accomplished my goal, I hope others do as well.
But that is my view on why a lot of people have been complaining/talking about the event currency as much as they have.
And if I get looked down for this post, then what ever, I really don't care.
I'm here to give my opinion, and then back off to converse with other people.
Laters, and happy posting.
