All this sounds so depressing. Although I am a freemium player - a more or less useless species.

As an opinion to help the situation tho, if Nutaku implements revivals, as well as keep the TP rotation for at least event units running, I think most of this backlash can be solved. The real problem is not in not having event every week imo, I am quite comfortable with the flow of events as they currently go. The real problem in doing the same thing over and over. Basically usual free week for me would be doing story/challenge missions on tuesday, friday, saturday and sunday, dailies on monday, wednesday and thursday... And that's all. There's really no variety of things that I can do. And while it's so so fine with players like me who have plenty of ways to go yet (CCs, AWs, leveling) it's really nothing for those who are past or close to past this stage. With revivals these players will get something to go for again, so Nutaku will win some time again. One "but" however is that this breathing space will not be huge, as many players are already prepared to chew on those events the instant they come out, so Nutaku really need to think several steps further then that.
