PL 'X' - Ten Legendary Years

[Dolloway]

I think the idea of a gauntlet is super cool. Many people have been asking for one to be implemented for several years now, especially after seeing how cool it turned out to be in PLA (one of the few great things about that game, along with customization).

That being said, I have a few concerns about the scoring of this event and how this will ultimately play out...

The person that completes the most waves in a single run will likely receive the top score. Does this mean a player can go for 10 hours straight killing mobs and rack up a very high score for leaderboards?

If so, how do we plan on combating bots who can run these maps infinitely from the beginning of the event until the event's end?

What happens if servers have to come down for a quick update? This would take everyone down, including players who are currently running the gauntlet. What if they run for several hours only for the rug to be pulled underneath them due to the server coming down for a quick fix? Are there any measures in place to ensure this doesn't happen?

I can also see players getting very upset if they somehow lag out, disconnect, or some other unfortunate occurence happens such as their device dying.

There may even be exploits that could become a problem. For example, if somehow a player can have his device keep the game running while he is sleeping and have his toon somehow survive until he wakes up to continue the map.

Just a few initial concerns off the top of my head. I don't know if you already took measures to ensure these things won't happen, but it's worth considering if you haven't. I'm just a bit concerned about the scoring aspect of the event.

It would all depends on how hard each wave will be, I imagined there will be a wave that would be too hard to clear until the timer runs out.

My other concern are about using different alts or accounts of same group/players to take multiple spots on the leaderbaords
