Marbar is "the" best event in ddo. Every other events like ice games, the one you need to catch some succubus, egg event etc are a bloody joke. Crystal cove give pretty good gears for its level, but you out lvled them so fast, its usefulness is only temp. Marbar on the other hand gave fantastic items, with delicious +4 tomes, to solid handwraps, arnors. It is by far the best event in ddo, and Turbine decided to remove it because their developers cant fix it.
