I couldn't give about the gates opening. It started out as a good idea but the resourse gathering was boring (but thankfully optional), and then there's all this guild elitism going on about who did the most work etc. And servers that blantently can't handle the event when it happens. I think world events are a great idea but Blizz really need to think them through better 
i agree
