These events are now things to be dreaded. The grind is insane, and the rewards piddling. I don't need another Leo with a paint job. I don't need another damn Aphid or Trebuchet or (God forbid) a freaking Trident. Getting wins has become almost impossible due to people tanking down to lower leagues, and getting beacons is now a chore thanks to random mode throwing me into Death Match all the time. Most of the time, I could never even connect to a Capture the Flag game!
Want to make events meaningful again? Then let us choose a prize or two to work for and then let us build up points towards components. Maybe what I need are a couple of Tempests. Well, then let me choose my event reward to be Tempest components, and then give me a variety of tasks to let me work toward them. And something other than "wins" or "wins in the top three," because I often have no control over how good the rest of my team is. And don't make beacon capping a requirement and then throw me into Death Match over and over. You're just encouraging me to eject four times and then fight for a few minutes.
tl;dr - Lunar New Year was a joke, as are all the events now. I can't wait till the next one. I'll bet Pixonic will offer me yet another Magnum, then a Leo, then some special, then an Aphid, then a Trident, then a Treb, then some other robot nobody uses anymore, then an Orkan, and then some more prizes I'll never actually reach.
