Well, no real surprise there as originally this event dropped right after Belinda's. Gold Rush seems more or less like a "break" event giving new players or struggling players a little leeway while giving quite a bit of free units as well as SCs and it seems like the difficulty is more or less the same from what I've seen taking a peek at the other two that are still to come with the only change being that Charisma went up by 5.it's just that the event feels kind of outdated now.
Of course it's outdated. But we wanted them to go back to skipped events, and now we got it. There shouldn't be any complaints.
It's good to just get this out of the way. It's natural to be frustrated with the crappy drop rate. It's stupid to want another event instead of this.
New player alert.Edit: And status reduction down to mildly annoyed, I finally got Katie XD

All gold rushes are made in such way that new player could get collection bonus from them. They are intended to provide new players with starting pack of "essential" golds, not to entertain older players.it's just that the event feels kind of outdated now.

Even current gold rush on DMM, 3 years after launch, is braindead easy. You can get completion bonus from only 12 sta map with like, 4 silver units (if you let liches and Metus pass without engaging them). And drop rates are terrible, I still didn't get Ryry from map 1 or Rushil from map 3.
So GR1 is not "outdated", its just such kind of event.
Yeah, as I put in my post I had made some wrong assumptions before the event began, which is why I was personally disappointed with it. I thought it would be like every other event were there was easy maps and progressively harder ones. I hadn't read anything about the event type being aimed towards new players. Thanks for clearing it up though.
Also, every single map I have struggled getting the silver fairy. Still haven't got Stray and spent all day trying to get him.
Edit: As for drop rates specific to this event, a lot of players don't know that Belinda during her event was as rare as some of these spirits. Also, while it is natural to want to get every gold, players should pick and prioritize certain golds after they see the bad drop rates. Like with everything else, prioritization is important in GRs too.
