In fact it's quite offensive to call it a "malady". |

There are goals, and then there are goals.
The consumption of art is its own reward, it's not endured as a personal challenge with the expectation of a reward at the end of it.
Some people see challenges everywhere which have to be met, and that's fine, to a point. It's often useful to society after all. But sometimes that leads to obsessive and unhealthy behaviour. |

Next week there is a pve townhall meeting, I might bring up the issue of these types of events of people who are susceptible to some really bad effects. Despite all the hurf blurff going on in this thread (much of it I think isn't really genuine), I think CCP might take a bit more care with how grindy these things are and how much they reward compulsive behaviors.
Sure Crimson Harvest, Frostline and Serpent had some good affects on the game, but as we see here they may have some bad effects on a few people. As players I don't think we should be supporting that.

This particular challenge provided lots of entertainment for lots of people. It employed nearly every skill I have in eve and the travelling salesman problem of navigating this event was cognitively very enriching, especially when you add in WT's and low sec. Compared to playing vanilla eve it was very engaging. Eve feels slow now.

I can't fault you on doing this tbh. Let me know how it goes. But people do this stuff without events to do. I have not put in the same hours as I did for this event before, but I can tell you I have done so when I was particularly engaged with other things in games and like I said many many RL projects too, you can't fix it.
It could also be the case that people needs time sinks like this for their own catharsis. But treating the people who ran the event like people who need help rather than adults capable of making their own choices, won't help.
Balance this. |

How it was in Necris Collective:
"Oh, another event from CCP."
"Another stupid farm race."
"Yeap, fu-ük it."
