Well, it looks like what we hoped was not true IS true, that Daknor is just a slowdown measure until whatever is to happen with the current event gets completed.
May I make the suggestion to not frustrate your playerbase on purpose?
I say that because even the most staunch supporters of the even have basically this week, thrown up their hands and will most likey just kill dak one or 2 more times before totally giving up.
I am also at a loss to understand why you chose to remove the working woodshop by the thornwoods, by actually tricking us into rebuilding it, again! That could have been a funny addition to the event, if it was not so perverse in it's outcome.
Please understand, that I don't believe that every act we make needs to be rewarded. Some things we do should be a means to an end. However, with this current event, there are no clues, there is no progression, there is no purpose or reason. If what we did with the woodshop was a method to further the event, than some dialog should acknowledge that. As it is, we are all clueless and thus, just getting more frustrated, not entertained.
I fully expect now, that folks as a whole will lose interest, and be very cautious to rebuild anything that gets destroyed again. What ever your attempting with this event, ( unless it really was to irritate the players ) has backfired.
