The premise of this event is all about the leaderboard. It was really the only event that many anticipated to finally be using their brain cells on, where it was all about honing your skills - but unfortunately, the limiting factor is.... you guessed it, money. The event was ruined by the following.
Choice of Badge;
- 2yrs had elapsed since the last Dragkin, but the "art team's" best approach was to essentially recycle the same badge among the solo and group, and to the Top10s and 50s? Very insulting to the top players.
Kraken Armor;
It was released just 1 week prior - making it very scarce, which only the wealthy players can afford. If you strategically planned this for consumers to naturally open more crates than usual, then was the extra plat revenue worth the expense of ruining the event for everyone?
Fish Oil Elixirs:
Many threads suggesting to disable tames. Consumables shouldn't be influencing gameplay to this extent, and shouldn't be the key to be getting an lb spot, of a non-recurring event - especially when they can only be used by 1% of the community that is willing to spend up to 9 figures on..... elixirs.
These factors made it discouraging, lessened the challenge. Personally, the banners that the players fought for to be changed last minute before the event went live, was the only thing aesthetically pleasing to look at along the Black badge.
