Perhaps I'm biased because I too am in need of additional days. I agree in the fact that the event provides too little leeway in time to have the chair be fully leveled and "complete". A major problem people are facing are being gated by drop rates, item requirements, and as a result, time. A decent band-aid is just to give more time by an event extension and/or loosen gating factors(increase daily cap/drops on items). I lean toward the latter in this due to the current issues grinders face with the drops not stopping, lowering rates and spamming chat. A lesser relief would be Sunny Sunday for 2x Crystal Energy cap and that would be enough for me personally, however I'd think at this point it may not be enough for everyone. A greater relief would be to just give Crystal Energy freebies.
I've seen a post discussing plans to approach these issues in future events, leaving out the current event, but the issue I see with that is this is a damn nice chair and a pretty good event(ignoring the nonstop drops) and I have been very excited to customize especially with elements near the end of the unlock list(personally I really want lil orchid). I do think there are many of similar sentiment and it is very upsetting to not have access to these due to tight time-gating. These issues exist and will likely persist through the event. They have already affected many players but perhaps what's more important is how we can proceed from here. For example, we can lessen the effect of these issues with bandaids such as the above mentioned.
