Because getting in top 10 for the banner was tough and top 25, while much easier was not worth it for 50 ankhs.
Now its too late and whatever effort had been made earlier to get in there then give up, is now thrown in our faces

You do know the purpose of a gas mask is too keep the gas OUT of it right? xD

i want to use this place to raise awareness to another big issue:

during the first goblin test event last year tanks did not have the slightest chance to compete due to a combined lb board for all classes. a whole class was locked out from getting a special pet in tournament.
the next event s there were different leaderboards for each classes. what does that mean: lots of drama. rogues competing in rogue lb don t need a tank as handbrake. and the tanks with the best rogue friends (and maul and sns) win the warrior lb. i was no 1 tank during helloween event and you have no idea how much pressure this put on our guild.
please keep party dynamics in mind when designing event lbs, so far most events are simply for rogues or players with the most rogue friends.

For those looking for someone to blame, I just want to add that this is all Ent's fault. That is all.

That I totally agree with you. make mobs more deadly xD instead of 1hit wonder lol. increase more mobs kill require for boss to spawn and group mob more together so tank and mage is require to survive and kill them faster hehe.

I dissagree with this

. Lbkillerhm doesnt have sns, and hasnt been running with people that have it. He has been running with rogues, but normally just 2. Sometimes i run with him too (an average player with mythic armor and ring). We (his guild) just let him know when we get bonus, and him and his party join. I kind of agree with the rogue friends though.

The point here is that there is no incentive for anyone to run with tanks for LB events. I am fortunate to have enough close friends to run with but I eventually bowed out of top 25 in helloween event simply because my friends were not always online and when running random it was almost always 4 tanks or 3 tanks and a mage or rogue. The game mechanics today favor an all rogue party vs a mixed party. If you look at the current record holders its always an all rogue party and sometimes with a mage. I have not seen any tanks on the board in quite some time.

he s a great and fun player i regularily ran arena with during double odds on arena chests (heya, boot!). but in current lb there s simply not much to win. this event is more about getting nightshade then everything else.

AGREED. If only sts could specifically class specify party for event. for example "MUST have rogue, tank and mage to enter portal xD a 4th member don't matter which class." Also if sts is able to NERF rogue's damage for CTF and TDM, then i'm sure they are allow to BUFF tank damage by a lot in events map?

That in turn required adjusting the rest of the tier rewards and again we felt it best to increase the number of prizes rather than remove any prizes.

Whoooo what a thread to walk into...

Firstly thank you for having the curtsey of honouring a typing mistake when there wasnt need, a shame it seems only one other person picked up on this gesture of good will.

I am curious however to under why not everyone who makes it to the leaderboards dosnt get a banner (including top 50 rather then just 25) so they can show off their hardwork and achievement to others by getting onto leaderboards?

As standard all banners should be untradeable as thats what makes them unique to each event and achievement.

For somethings in game if you want to look pretty then you should have to work for it to keep a happy balance of grafting and just being lazy an buying up everything.
A great way to truely afterwards help ones self gain real appreciation to what they get for the graft.

In terms of vanity however, one can appreciate the costs and time spent on running to a poll position so having something to be able to recoup some of the expenses on running costly events would in my opinion at least be rude to deny players of that privilege.

If anything the players maybe that are receiving the free helms offered by the gesture of.good will, their given vanties be untradeable as they were not supposed to have it in the first place.

Giving everyone that made lb a banner has been a tradition as such since these events were introduced which is a great flag of achievement for any player that has done well.(of course not tradeable)

To make such a change because a few players willlcbe getting a freebie well... just dosnt seem to fit right.

Mentioned before was about the first lb event being mixed class, so warriors got left out of a chance of earning rewards was clearly a learning curb and events going forward saw the right changes being made for the right reasons by introducing separate lbs for class.

Unfair as we now know looking back the past it was, we must accept that at least right measures have been taken to avoid those mistakes again.

I will agree with warriors needing a look at but maybe only so far we can go with the charactors and maybe look more into map dynamics and how each class can compliment the other in different zones of Arlor.
