World of Warcraft's released a limited-time event with stingy rewards and has, after community backlash, massively buffed the rate at which those rewards are doled out—if that sounds familiar to you, it's because Blizzard's now done it four times in the past year.
First off, there was Plunderstorm, a limited-time event which eventually eased up on its grind. Then there was Mists of Pandaria: Remix, a limited-time event which eventually eased up on its grind. Then there was the pre-patch event before The War Within, which eased up on its grind, but rather quickly, rather than eventually—and now we're here once more. A limited-time World of Warcraft event has eased up on its grind. Time is a flat circle.
