I think it's pretty safe to say that ppl who complain about "afk event on main" aren't really playing the game, they just want everything on a silver platter.
This is just stereotyping, basically wrong and does not do any good for the sake of this discussion.
I can't believe I really have to explain myself here for not actually liking this kind of "event". I simply can't afford to force myself staying online for 5 hours every day and you're blaiming me of being greedy?
After all the bad events in the past, you get couple with actually usefull rewards for being online, nothing else. You can do others stuff meanwhile, you don't have to "force" yourself to play, just keep the character logged in.
Many posts before explains how much work it takes to progress in this game (doing dreds, sieges, pve instances etc). I can't believe you have nothing to do in this game even for 2-3h per day and afk the rest for example (that's what I'm doing).
