I feel the same in a lot of ways, but felt the last event was way worse in the way it was ridiculously hard and literally broken; goes without saying that Summer 2015 is right there with it. I looked at what the vet/neets were going through and thought, "Nope, I'm not putting up with that shit". Not that Easy/Medium was a cakewalk in either event... there's been more salt on a node-per-node basis recently thanks to pass/no pass Gandalf-type nodes.

In this specific event I feel they eased up on the bullshit. Still not a huge fan of LBAS but it wasn't nearly as bad as before. I already can't remember much of E-3 (aside from the double booty node), but in E-4, no node shreded planes to zero rank given you had enough for AS, even with Tsu. It was the typical "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" type of map.

As for the rewards, there were no rewards that made Hard really worth it. The tankhatsu and Ginga, meh. No reason at all to do E-4 on hard, 'cept for the E-peen medal. 100% agree on the low af drop rates for new ships.
