An easy mode way would make things easier for this occasion in a “cheap” way, but I think for future events and updates you guys should try out your own content and once you certify it, launch it on this platform. This is because you do not have a test environment for the players.
Today’s event is a solid proof that you do not test your games, and also is evidence that the philosophy that you implement in many systems of this game (social, progression, balance, some points in trading, etc …) is very poorly managed, Implemented and also limits things that should not be limited.
Making an easy mode is a “cheap” way to fix this, but please IMC, I hope you do not implement “cheap” solutions for many things that in this game need fixing, even much more than new classes or more quest.
Anyway thanks for the information.
