Can I just check my understanding here, am I right in thinking that the minimum resources you need are:
Metals:
20 Average
10 Quality
5 Superior
3 Pure
Jewels:
10 Opaque
5 Translucent
3 Brilliant
2 Flawless
For a level 40 ring (the only ones that are basically sought after), that is correct.

Holy crap, the amount of grind required to get these rings is sick. I missed this event year ago thinking I will catch up this time, but hell no! This is only for real hardcore and unemployed guys.
Wait, so what you're saying is you don't love grindy events that are based purely on RNG?

Wish there was more spot to farm the pve monsters for materials all spots are being camped by guilds.

I'm gonna be honest as a first time participant.
The ask is too much. The amount of boxes you have to open to get the resources is just too many, and it doesn't help everyone wants platinum making the one resource extra hard to get.
Too much grind. It's out of control. Ppl in my guild are rightly kinda freaking out at the fact you need to grind like you don't have a job to get a ring, or pay a fortune on AH (which we don't have)
Straight up unfun as other commenter said :/ I love the questline I love the public quests but the amount of resources required is too high

Yeah grind is real on TT event, no doubts. However its pretty surprising to see SO much of whining tbf, like getting 1-2 rings on your main char is not a problem at all. How-to: trade/sell everything you dont need, trade/buy what you do need, grind pve mobs on isle (cause pvp requires coordination and totally not solo friendly) on 2 chars with tali&smith profs, dont group up for more than 3 people for isle (1 aoe dps&1 heal/hybrid are mandatory, rest can be whatever).
TT event does require coordination, big guilds have absolutely no problems to supply people so yeah if you are not in big active guild, play solo only and have no friends then all you can afford is crafting ~2 rings probably without talis by the end of event.
But hey, aint you casual? Why would one need 20+ rings for all alts, maybe even both sides?
It definitely doesnt check with being/calling yourself a casual player.
So choice is simple - socialize and overcome event obstacles (cause its ultra easy mode if you group up, coordinate, share resources etc, on first TT event ive crafted 12 rings for myself and ~30 for guild, but not cause i was playing 24/7 but because its strength in numbers) OR solo grind 1-2 rings for one of your chars and "Keep it casual"!

I'm not whining. I'm asking for a decrease in the requirements because the grind is seriously tough on casual players. Big guilds don't always cooperate either, so idk what you're on about. I've been on big guilds where you cant even coordinate them to get a guild coin. It's not a player's fault if the community isn't super coordinated nor is it the community's. Its too big a grind for ppl who are otherwise busy to do too much grinding...
Also X"it's a grind" but "surprised with whining" I mean choose one man either it's a bit much or it isn't

Choose what? Event is designed to be grind. So its working as intended. If you play decently, get 5 other people and do succesful roaming&SCs then the event is total easy mode. There has been premades who crafted 60+ rings on first TT event.
Grind aint tough on casual players. At all. You can literally solo grind like i said 1-2 rings, without any serious issues plain thru PvE.
What do you want more as a casual player?

Ah yes, you either join some blob guild / play 8hrs a day all week -- or you're a casual. Fantastic logic.

Truth is - no, im not playing now, cause i already have nothing to grind and im "The Real Casual" unlike you guys, so i have no motivation nor need to grind those an* be*ds. Ive got help on both sides, order and destro and have everything i'd want on all toons i'd wish to play.
However it doesnt change even a tiny bit of reasoning ive said. I havent ever played this game for 8hrs, havent ever been in a "blob" guild both sides (but ive joined their warband here and there to help my farming ngl) and i have 0 issues with event even tho i admit its grindy af, but i do accept it was intended since start so i (you) have to adapt and overcome.
This "casual" (putting it into " cause i can bid if we compare real playtime it may turn out that all those so called casuals play more than all those elite tryhards combined but still cant manage basic things) excuse im not buying. If you call yourself one then explain why you even need those rings or care for them?
They are literally irrelevant for you casual adventure. A big bold point and you have no arguments to prove me wrong.
