The game has been built around catch and release for years, I don't see a reason to change that all of a sudden.
There are more pressing things on the to do list to put resources into in my opinion.
The dungeon was fun, and rewards were great. The light stone part shouldn't have been rng based in my opinion.
Christmas chris was back which is great.
The spawns could have been a bit better. I liked the spawns from last year a lot, and ended up hunting a ton that event. For example, a few guildmates and myself were looking forward to repeling ferro, then there ended up being no event spawn for it at all.
