Scrap The Trophy Trade In System.

[Alex21]

Being able to trade trophies for points and gold is lame, it detracts from the real value of events which is meant to be entertainment and community building, not business. If you can't get rare items in game without the admin's creating them, they shouldn't be in game?

With the trophy for points system scrapped, i see no reason why there could not be more frequent events, for simple entertainment and PVP.

When the shard first had event's before the trophy trade in system, used to have maybe 5 double dom's in a row, or a mixture, it was great fun and gave chance for the teams to shuffle a bit to create fairness.

I voted no, simply for the reasons that I like the trophy system, not as many play events anymore now that trophys arent rewarded, and it keeps people active and striving for something. Fail.

[Mephistopheles]

No.

[Hemperor]

It is slightly interesting...but just that a newbie player can join an event, do literally nothing and win and then sell his trophy for 10k is a little weird, it really adds a whole nother facet to the economy that didn't exist in T2A.

Not extreme towards either side, however, voted yes.

[Ronald Drump]

I voted no.

It sounds like a sweet reward system.

Without the chance of wining a trophy, then why go to events? For pvp? You can find pvp all over and at least you get to lewt the lewtz!!!!! No trophy and no lewt = no fun

No, you would get a trophy, but it would simply be a trophy. Events are serious awesome fun without having to be doing it for staff created items, im starting to hear more and more about people looking to buy/sell neon items... from pictures they just appear to be a unique color (not neon) but still this kind of thing annoys me.

Can't events be just events, for fun and enjoyable competition in the simple nature of skill testing. In my view events have always been the starting point for people to get involved with pvp, however atm they are just business, people building teams to guarantee winning.

BTW im not sure but are trophies still rewarded in events?

If not, How is the trophy trade in system still going? Why aren't events more frequent?

[archaicsubrosa77]

I do agree that you should be able to find these items in game, with possible hints be it the constellations that align in certain locations guarded by certain monsters or whatever to recover them.
Then again it creates an oppurtunity for long standing members to obtain new goals for themselves.

I dont want special items! They are gay!

That why i threw my trophies away, cause to me they were just items.

I think we should make it to where only the top three scorers on the winning team get trophies, not everyone on the winning team.

[Alex21]

But the trophies should not be worth special items that someone can't get in game. Making events, purely events.

Intangables help a team win, "scores" don't always show the best CTF players on the team. Half the team leaders just run macros anyway.

Much like most shows on MTV, I think this is a good example of why while everyone has an opinion, not everyone should be allowed a platform upon which to voice it. I doubt Alex21's ability to fully comprehend the ramifications of his suggestion.

[Mephistopheles]

If you don't want a trophy or staff made item then toss your trophies & gold, stop your complaining and let the players who were enjoying it before continue on. If the event rewards bother you that much don't do them or make your own reward free event. Why not do a dungeon crawl where none of the monsters drop any loot? Same concept.

This thread fails.

To the max.

Seriously, why would you want to ruin the enjoyment of others like that?

[Edit] As well, I know the issue of AFKing is a hot button so my suggestion is to take a screen shot of someone that you think is idling at the events (like DD). Chances are if you never see that player outside the starting area, they don't move, cast spells, etc they're AFK.
