I am sorry, this has to be a joke right?

Not only is the event selection utterly crap but you have also staggered the dates you add them which is an aspect that not a single player has ever liked and that makes the cycle even less appealing than it already is and the rewards have to be a joke. The worst hiruzen, a useless form of itachi, the worst madara, a free yugito being sold for coupons or ingots, a useless haku not even worth collecting, 2 now useless forms deidara(courtesy of jiraiya), 2 useless forms of naruto , one of the most common pieces of clothing, not enough frags to even recruit izuna let alone 4 star him so that is also useless, a useless jugo and a useless version of obito that you are trying to charge money for when you havent even bothered to fix his chases which by all accounts are still broken which is not only incredibly *my but is also grounds for a refund because anyone who bought him technically did not get what was advertised and you even removed the shisui frags from the special sales... are you kidding? There is nothing, nothing to see this week.. No reason to open hot topics and even less reason to open our wallets. "happy anniversary customers who pay our bills, we would like to thank you for keeping our company alive by offering absolutely nothing,not a single event worth looking at, not a single reason to spend, not a single reason to log in, we will also remove rewards from events and we will not bother to fix any of the broken chases, or the bugs, or the horrendous performance of our client that most toddlers could do a better job of programming.......we offer less than nothing but still expect you to fork out huge sums of money for these useless,unviable and broken characters oh and we will also stagger the dates the events go live just to make sure we thoroughly screw over as many people as possible and ensure anyone dumb enough to give us money gets the lowest possible return for their spending ".

Either this is a joke and oasis are putting some real effort into making next weeks anniversary worthwhile or they have given us the single worst event cycle in the games 6 year history for no reason,other than a tedious zero gameplay fetch quest that takes maybe 20 seconds this cycle does not give a single player, free or a spender a single reason to click hot topics even once, at this rate either next week is something special or oasis will once again pass another anniversary so poorly that they will cause yet another wave of players to quit. China is a well oiled machine churning out new servers to meet the demand of its ever growing player base, meanwhile oasis are months if not years behind on merges and clusters and despite doing none of the work and simply re-selling china's creations they are so monumentally braindead they cant keep a single server healthy. China needs more servers whereas oasis butcher this game so badly that one of the most common complaints and questions are people talking about their already dead server needing a merge because oasis never fail to drive away players in their masses.We in the forums dont often agree on something and there are always the plants to come out of the woodwork and try to trivialize the problems and pass the buck, but if you put us all in some kind of virtual meeting and offered us money to design the worst cycle we could think of even as a diverse collective spanning multiple countries working together incentivized by money we could not think up a week as sht as this

At least we got something other than nothing at all!
