Survey

[obee]

Hey guys, I'm going to be conducting a survey based on halloween for AL. Please PM me if you would like to be in it or answer on this thread.
Questions I will ask.

Did you make platinum tier?
If you made platinum, how long did it take?
How many any eggs, amulets, or mythic weapons did you loot or buy during this event?
How much platinum did you spend during this event?

[Appeltjes]

No
No
None
7x25=175 plat on respec scrolls (more wouldn't fit in my stash :p)

Ps, put tier behind "did you make platinum" first I actually thought you might have meant gold but made a mistake.

[Iahwahska]

-Yes twice
-few days for the first and got the second yesterday
-haven't looted anything worth mentioning but got a Blinky and Grimm each and bought recipes
-spent no plat and didn't buy any energy

[Arachnophobik]

-Yes
-about 3-4 days, i got guildies on plat, then they invite me and we usually get para, thus faster tier progress.
-none aside from blinky and para stone. Tho i made a decent amount of gold from token farming.
-none. None of the plat offers work on me

[obee]

Hey guys try to be exact with the number of days.

[Dex Scene]

*Yes, on 2 profile and one is 3200 point now!
* Rogue took 7 days and mage took 9 days!
* bought like 7 grim, looted 4-5 blinky. Looted tons of haunted ring and 3 eerie pend (41 level mage, 12 level war and 41 level mage again). No myth weapon!
* only like 150 plats to open 10 necro lock on first 2 days. I didn't buy it, i had 150 plats left from last event!

Edit: I was lazy to play my warrior until the last day! I made my war 4200 points from 3200 points in 3 hours.

Yes...3 toons to plat, one more to gold

I got to plat on my main on the second day, my other rogue took about 3 days, my tank took almost a week and my sorc I got to gold yesterday.

Other than Blinky, I looted perhaps 4 amulets total. I purchased, with coins, at least 3 grimm eggs. No mythic weapons were found in any Pumpkin chests, nor in any of the Necro locks opened.

Comfortably spent 1k plat plus a couple million gold.


Personal note: after most events lately, I just feel like it is a money grab. I honestly don't feel any sense of accomplishment, nor are any of the other items besides Blinky and the stone worth the time or effort. I do appreciate being able to buy Grimm eggs with coins, so in time, that may be able to offset the extreme costs associated with running this event. But, with Grimm flooding the market, this may take a few months to see some profit.

It would be nice to see good weapons dropping, or amulets/rings that are superior to Tarlok Hearts and Wild Amulets.

Finally, with no one farming elites, I have been able to sell all of my magma totems, planar armor/helms and spirit/druid gear, so that was a good blessing for me!

So the best part of the event is nobody farming elites. I don't event want to get into how wrong that is. I totally agree though, there's no accomplishment, only a sick feeling in the pit of one's stomach at the exorbitant costs of playing during these times.

I think a large part of the issue is that STS is basing their pricing on the numbers from a year of platinum fraud. Expecting this kind of payouts from normal honest people who have to pay their real live dollars is just criminal. It's not right to require so much for so little reward, and absolutely no sense of achievement or satisfaction. 5 plat a run is totally insane with no way to run the event otherwise without hours farming and more hours crafting. It took my warrior 5 hours to get enough essences for 10 runs. That's just wrong.

I got 1 char to plat the first day, 2 in the next 4 days, and two more after a week. I am never doing that again. I can't afford this kind of cost for no reward - not even enjoyment when I have to cough up more money every hour.

Things I have seen with the data-With 25 people surveyed. Note: This is not a lot.

About 68% of participants have made it to platinum.
For those who made it, it took about 3.5 days to make it. Note: Some data points like 3 hours or 6 hours, or even 1, might be harming the data set.
60% of the 25 did not buy platinum. This was very interesting, because what I saw in many of the posts, the people surveyed had said "The event wasn't worth my money." I also saw a point where someone had said the free offers were low. Out of all 25, only 2 people used free offers.
3 people out of the remaining plat users used over 1000 platinum.
The average number of items thAT I specified that were looted, bought, or sold, was 6.16. I included blinky. Grimm was a big factor, and it seemed like almost everyone got Grimm.


I will update this post for every 25 people surveyed, until we get to 500. Then, I will sum up the data with big charts and everything.
