Having it during an event was nice but never really became official. Someone noticed a week or 2 ago that an event gem bundle included 20 minutes of energy and speculated it was meant to provide the WW experience. Which isn't a bad idea - wouldn't have to deal with the baron's nonsense, lol.
I found the weekly warrior very encouraging as a new player during events, powering through quest material, blossoms, mermaids, whatever. It gave us a chance to really get ahead of our paltry 40 energy, reducing frustrations in our non-alicorn lives.
However, it slightly unbalanced the game because we with lower requirements could finish sooner, needing only 16 trips to Ivy instead of 20, perhaps. High levels got mad. To make things "even" they would need to require the same quantity of bottleneck (Ivy, etc) as the others.
Without an event WW was kinda perplexing for me. Yeah it's good to top off stores, but due to recharge times I found myself running out of things to do, lol.
