    Maybe this can happen if eggzavier only spawns in the hardest elites (maus 4, because I doubt 5 will be unlocked). That way you can't farm one egg every 3 minutes or so. It may also help getting the mausoleum boss count up.

    Smartest answer i've seen so far unlike some others who is just forcing their ideas to others not just simply stating their own opinions, he's right let sts decide it's their game were just players nothing more (unless you have connections) lol just sayin..

    Eggzavier was fun because he spawned and ran away and many times he was missed. The chase made it exciting. The difficulty of maps should be moderate from a universal perspective as it was before, for everyone to be able to participate.

    But the duration of the event should be shorter, only 24 - 36 hours to keep the supply limited.

    The only times I missed was when I was stuck wth players who didn't have speed set in my party. When I ran with all speed set parties, we caught him 100% of the time.

    Great events for beginners are the mini events, just to name a few, ankhs dropping from bosses, harvest, gauntlet, arlorian egg hunt, also many seasoned players seem to enjoy this as well. As i previously stated, the eggstravaganza thief was a short term solution, that wasn't a long term fix.

    Ava dont hate me, but seems only u and few others (rich, plat users) dont want eggstravaganza 2.0!
    Cuz I saw u selling gold nekro, omg u will lose gold if he will be dropped from eggzavier...
    Rich want to stay rich, there will be always separated rich-poor...
    Give the poor people get some gold, at least one quality pet which is useful.
    Why u care about economy I dont know really.
    U playing for u, dont for me.
    I'd say yes to eggstravaganza 2.0!
    Give the chance for all to obtain some good pets!

    It's Not about me, it's about the community. If everything was just to be given away, why play the game? Just wait, read forums, and log for updates that give free items with zero efforts? Where is the challenge? So, you want everything for free, for everyone, whats to buy and sell? The adventure is gone because all the goals are given for free.

    There are soo many ways to make gold in this game, in two/three weeks of time you can afford the most expensive egg in the game easy. You just have to get to the maps and farm. Most everything sells for something, it all adds up in the end.

    Btw i pulled my g.nek from cs and slotted in my glow, for mana regen Saves me gold, less pots I have to buy.

    Lol, you will never understand the logic behind why many players say no to this. Even the devs stopped the event early due to the negative impact it had on the economy.

    If u had read other posts Ava has made, you would see she wants good pets to drop off bosses 24/7 every day of the year to make maps worth running. And her selling her gold nekro, wich she payed 2k plat to get is not really selfish at all imo. Its not like sts would make it rain gold nekros if such event would return anyway, if so they would not limit it to the 80 they sold.
    Only thing a new egg event would bring is even more of the pets that allready farmable on the current maps in game, wich noone farm no more since no profit, they rather control crawly, snappy and a few other pets wich there still loades of. Ive sold only a few of the eggs i farmed last time, just moved em to an alt, and undercut high enuff that the controllers dont bother to buy it ( if they buy all snappys and post 2 at 500k i post one at 100k so they cannot say in town: sell snappy 250k its 500k in cs.. and in a day its 30k or so again).

    I played last event and think one mythic in 100 or so legis i could have farmed while getting elite aps anyway...

    Eggstravaganza is kind of like a hurricane after an extended drought.

    While introduction of eggs is great, this type of feast or famine cycle isn't good for the economy, most players, or the game at large. Having 10,000 SnS eggs introduced into the economy in a weekend is chaotic and has far too many ripple effects that drag down the price of nearly everything else. My issue with this type of inventory introduction is that the net result becomes the mainstream players are ultimately hurt in the process. Sure, a bunch of mainstream players get one or two good pets or are capable of purchasing a handful of eggs, but the reality is that these are the same players that have to sell off what they have to continue funding their gameplay (pots, ankh, elixirs). Those with a lot of gold reserves buy these eggs (call them merchers/hoarders/speculative investors) and the net result is that as inventory becomes scarce and prices again go up, who stands to profit the most?

    Meanwhile, as egg pricing is dropping, it is also dragging down other things like elixirs and ankh, because there is no point in farming. Imagine farming for Symia eggs, and after hundreds of runs, you finally drop one, run to CS and find out it is 25k in auction. Hardly the kind of motivation you need to continue grinding. So, after a hundred runs, thousands of pots pots, dozens of deaths, dozens of ankh, you loot something good and your net revenue is probably -300k....that is bad for the game.

    A better solution is as I said earlier in the thread. Either a portal spawn on boss kill, or a difficult daily/weekly quest with a guaranteed Legendary egg and the chance for Mythic and Arcane. This will control the introduction of eggs and reward those that grind (kind of like the 20 elite Nordr boss kills daily granted an EGW back in the day).

    I have never heard anyone say grinding is fun...ever lol. if it reduces the prices in other aspects its ok to fuel the new gens that will burn plat for other commodities (nothing really that effects game progression)..look at PL and how a renewal of players helped the game as a whole. meaning somethings that new players can get is fantastic IMO. Gold is one thing that can kill the game if there is to much of it...hence the gold vanitys from sir spend. this is an event 1 time a year (2-3 days max), and your proposing a portal that lasts all year...that would make it worse IMO XD.

    Grinding is fun. It just should be rewarded. That's why we play and thats why we promote a steady influx of good items like proposed by Goodsyntax instead of these event rushs.

    i stand corrected...1 has said it XD lol. i play..but rarely grind for something that is only beneficial to my character, and seems reasonable to achieve. Events help the people who don't have the specs to run the hard maps. instant gratification will always pass effort. look at plat for gold, locked chests, leveling up characters, xp missions to name a few.

    Im glad you and a few others love to grind, but as a mobile..i'll leave grinding for more intense MMOs on PC's. The data AL uses can be costly, So as a mobile hop in/out is what AL is best suited for.

    effort should be rewarded if you don't want to pay with hard earned gold. I don't disagree with you. but when the majority don't have the pros stats, that's why many look forward to events.

    Of all seasons, this season stats are no excuse. The legendary gear gives plenty of armor for just a few K, more than enough to run all open maps so far.

    I started up a new toon, with zero gold, capped relatively quickly (took about two or three weeks, mainly via the Daily XP quests). Saved up enough gold to buy lv60/61 endgame gear, and even though most of it is still ungemmed, I feel that I am capable enough to grind it out with any kind of party.

    I have no issue with plat buyers slingshotting their way to the best gear/items....afterall, it is your hard earned cash that gets you there. My point is that there is also a lot of players, good players, that can't/won't use plat and need a way to get to the top through effort alone.

    Gaming is like a triangle, you can get to the top in one of three ways. Purchase your way there, grind your way there or get lucky.

    Right now, grinding isn't viable as it isn't income positive.

    Lucky...but, lucky on what? Arena crates and fossils? Get a Balanced Scale or Husk armor? Sure, I suppose you could get lucky and loot one, but the odds are so stacked against you that it really isn't viable either.

    This leaves purchasing as your primary way to get to the top, and that's what I have an issue with. KnK eggs are a good example. How much farming would it take to save up the gold needed to buy KnK from someone that popped locked crates? Even the more pedestrian pets like Nightshade are getting priced beyond the reach of your average mobile gamers (those that can't commit endless hours to grinding).

    That's why there should be a mechanism that slowly introduces these types of things into the game, because eggs are a consumable commodity. Each new player that starts the game and opens an egg reduces the total egg inventory. If demand stays the same and inventory becomes scarce, prices go up and fewer and fewer people can afford it, resulting in an increasing concentration of wealth. With steady introduction of inventory, it puts a ceiling on pricing and stops the price escalation spiral. Demand alone will put a floor on pricing, leaving a manageable value range to work with when farming.

    If I knew that after 20 Mauso IV runs, I could get to roll for an egg (via a quest), at least it puts a carrot out there for me to chase. But, if the only valuable drops that are out there continue to have lol drop rates, well....that doesn't really motivate anyone either.
