Mimic event got delayed? Damn shame that.
I'm curious what the reason was.....
Did they screw it up (most likely)?
Too many events clustered together?
Nobody interested in stupid mimics or the junk loot you can get?
I don't think Mabar was ever intended to come back.
I believe they said there would be an "event" where you could still get Mabar items. I assumed it would mean crafting like you used to, but it appears not.
Jelly - of all the events, Mabar was the only one that provided decent items for leveling. Crystal Cove had some stuff, but I hated CC (until duping came along, and then my view changed....).
Mabar event could potentially be recovered if they staggered the dragon instances (don't have them based on turn ins - just run them once per hour approx. with no overlap between instances) and took some other recommendations to reduce lag.
If it brings lag, they'll really be stuffed as it is already bad without it.
