Events influence all of Atys, they can make things harder or easier as a result.
That's what a dynamic world is all about, and is a good thing.
These things are always temporary (though I'd not mind some events have permanent impact, as long as that impact is not to make things impossible, like the Gibbai event which essentially made Fleeting Garden impossible for people with the levels to hunt and dig there, wouldn't want that to be permanent), and people understand that (sometimes after it being pointed out it's for an event).
If anything I'd like to see more of that.
What I would comment on is running the same event (water caravan from Fairhaven to Pyr) twice in a row.
Even if it ran slightly differently (I wasn't there, but people who were said so) the announcements and descriptions were so similar that a lot of people just didn't care to take part (thus the caravan didn't have the capacity required the second time around).
While it can be understood why a second caravan would be needed in the context of the lore and rp, that doesn't necessarilly make it a good idea to run it so close to the first one (and remember that a lot of people didn't feel like spending dappers on more packers just to free them again after reaching the desert, no doubt also a factor, I know several who took part without packers for that reason).
Overall the event team is doing a good job (and I'd love to see more of them) but the timing on this one so close to another seemingly identical event was unfortunate.
