BlackFoot wrote:well the 'real' argument is that they arent actually an 'accuracy' debate. They are a administrative policy decision. Ie - staff can run any custom event they want as did staff on OSI during the era.
They just have better code to run better events easier than they did a decade ago.

But you have not read any of the previous 30 threads on th subject
You should read them then come back to this thread.

A push for something more accurate should be considered by all, however you must keep in mind how much work that would be for the staff.

I bet there isn't a soul on these forums that wouldn't like to see these events reformed in Felucia with a more accurate style to them. If not for accuracy then for a simple change... they are pretty old, and well... same.... except for those annoying FS's in the CTF game.

Make events a filler for when the playerbase is at its lowest.

MatronDeWinter wrote:Not that it really matters, but I am taking a break from uosa, and the main reason for this, is that during all of the times that I am able to actually play, there are events running and virtually nobody in the game. As a player that doesn't like to hunt, pvp, craft, etc... my enjoyment is almost entirely based on interacting with players around me. I would get home in the evenings during event time and that basically meant no players from an hour before to an hour after the event. Often times another event would follow. The only real time I have to play for any longer duration is Fridays, where events run non-stop. It got to the point where I just quit logging in until there was a player-ran event or staff-ran dungeon raid/monster spawn going on.

Before you say it, no that is not considered "rage quitting" etc... and I do not need to "learn to adapt my playstyle", the game simply became less enjoyable for me because of those reasons.

That's entirely your opinion on the subject.

Sexy Smithy wrote: Its like when they instituted Power Hour on OSI/EA shards... people stopped playing the game to hop on the hamster wheel. Honestly, I think events are the worst thing on this shard and should disappear completely. (CTF,DD, 1v1, Etc...) Events are slowly transforming this playerbase into that same playstyle as Power Hour encouraged. Just logging on for the quick gain and not actually playing the game and interacting in the world anymore. This is HORRIBLE for the shard and I would love to see all these events disappear completely.

If people want to have these events still, make them monthly events and increase the 'prizes' for placing.

But yeah, as it is, people are just scheduling their playtime around events, playing for a bit before and after, then logging off and contributing next to nothing to the shard aside from collecting silver and uber items.
