Events Negatively Affecting Economy/Player Interest

[conradev]

Players are able to join event runs after a boss has already been attacked. When this happens, 4 players can enter, while the boss remains at a difficulty as if 1 player was in the zone.

The event leaders have known and been exploiting this, and while at first thought it would seem all players had equal opportunity to exploit it, here is how that is not the case, and how it is in fact unfair to the vast majority.

(I am in the top 25 mage category myself for the current event btw, but I have been soloing the whole time)

1) This allows the players with the most money and strongest friends to start out events at a pace 20 times faster than normal players. They are not limited by finding people to run with, money, or boss difficulty. They are only limited by the time they can put in.

This causes a lost interest in running the leaderboard extremely early for most players. And while a select few continue to pour gold into event kits, it would be exponentially better for the economy of the game to have majority interest in running as opposed to minority.

I don't need to explain all the reasons why as there are too many, just follow logic. But here are a few...

-the best event loot is quickly made worthless because the leaderboarders loot and post to auction so fast

-the grand prizes are put at a distance 99% of players cannot reach withing the first 2 days, before some have even logged on to the event at all


This is merely another case of whistle-blowing (when beneficial) as one of the most noted event leaderboard runners conveniently reported SnS in Ursume Lock Crates after (and only after) he had looted his fair share and made 200m gold on them. He is now well ahead in the leaderboard yet again for this event, but has he made any posts about this? No, because it does not behoove him to do so.


This game economy has a severe appeal to the richest problem with every update it gets worse. Please do something to stop this. Money is never changing hands, and players are quitting.
