[The Draconic Awakening] Artifacts in Felucca will be cursed.
This coming 14th October, the stable version of Publish 121 will be released.
One question I ask myself, and which we will soon find out, is whether holding the event in Felucca is worth it in terms of risk/reward, considering that artefacts are cursed in Felucca.
I think that the developers, with the aim of not reducing PvP during the event, have cursed the artefacts so that players who engage in PvP can receive a reward if they manage to kill players participating in the event in Felucca. Similarly, I think that developers, in order to motivate and incentivise PvM players to participate in the event in Felucca, will receive a higher drop rate for artefacts because they risk losing part or even all of what they have collected.
All of this will be answered soon in the final version, which will be released next week.
