Doesn't help that there is less interest in running specials. The old specials could be cleared quickly. Now the new specials take longer to clear with no good rewards. Damascus steel rate is worse than raids and bracelets are too rare to chase. And now there is better ways to get seals faster.
While the variation and creativity is certainly worse I think what stands out more is how they've increased the effort required to acquire an item and it just isn't worth the effort anymore.
The current bingo event is a perfect summary of how events have evolved for the worse. You can complete the board once. To do this you have two weeks to complete 55 to 90 raids PER character depending on 1. RNG and 2. your board clear strategy. This does not include an additional 20 raids per character if you want the 2 titles.

Hard to answer without knowing the last time you played.
Game population (NA) is the lowest I've seen that I can remember. Precipitous drop-off since Eira release fever died-down. Virtually empty on weekdays and weekends feel sparse. Need to mega get people to join unpopular boats. I play daily.
