I am shocked to find one of my very relevant post here deleted
I am more shocked that the mod post I quoted in that post is also deleted, likely as a result of my post.
I won't elaborate lest this get deleted too.
I think my nitpick skill just leveled up, for forcing the mods to delete their own post.

As a ftp, I've learned to ignore events that doesn't apply to me. I find the mentality of saying an event is bad because it is overpriced silly--if it is overpriced, just ignore it. The primary focus of any set of event is how many and how good are the events of "value". So think about the events as if that 40k event doesn't exist, how good are this set of events?

I am still annoyed by the still missing BA rebate, but that is promised in the short future so I can live with it. I have to say the monthly event is a great help in making that actually an issue, w/o the quite large amount of med thread I get from that, i won't even be bothered by the lack of the rebate as I wont be able to make use of it. In the grand scheme of things, it is a problem I like having, as compared to problems that are completely bad.

I like the early posting of event primarily because I now know there is no summon rebate, so I don't need to hold off the 20 pull for the monthly event any further. Well, that and the fact that the event are par for a ftp, I hardly care about the ptw portion of the event and politics surrounding that.

Often times, mods don't know anymore than we do, not really, and are told that we are(and they are) being listen to when... well... So it's possible that mods are being honest.

There are exceptions, of course, but don't over estimate what mods' abilities, especially if they are not physical employee of the company but player-recruits.
