Yes, because (ignoring the annoying reasons people were doing these things) it had the same end result and inspired the same, chaotic, helpless feeling that an actual invasion should. I never thought ti was a problem, because I knew it was going to be very temporary.

I tried to enjoy it when it was happening, and it was VERY immersive, because you had no choice but to be immersed. Overall, the zombie plague part of the event was very sucessful at creating the kind of chaos they were trying to create, IMO.

But, yeah, there were a LOT of bodies! Made the fact that, in SW, there were happy children skiping and playing amongst the bodies quite disturbing!
