Awesome for trying to give a nice free to play event for players....but just one problem.....
1. This event is and was terrible the last time you did it a few months ago, because there are many who will exploit 3rd party programs who will spam the tickets to increase their chances on top rewards. Many of us will be limited to a few accounts to click at a time, but people exploiting will be spamming on much...much more than humanly possible. Not only that, the times this event is at is when majority of the players are not around to even participate. Why are all these events geared toward a time that will benefit only the minority of the people who play this game. To my understanding I signed up for a USA time zone server (English Server).
2. Most of these items this time and last time will go to someone who does not actually play the game but only comes around for events like these to profit and maim the servers ability to promote a healthy population.
3. There is a large disconnect in what is needed and what events role out every few weeks. What is acceptable on Korea servers or Giran servers, is not necessarily what we need here on Talking Island Server. We are constantly getting P2W events that add no substance to classic. The Crusader patch was supposed to be this big awesome thing, new this, new that, etc. There was much promised, "big things are coming," as I remember a GM saying as we got buffs at the monster race track. The only new that we have got thus far is a new loading screen saver. "YES".....but no new zones that increase our ability to progress in the game. No new content to makes us thrust for more, just more bland p2w, screen saver, l2 launcher crashes, and errors.
4. Rates for items are terrible. Probability has endless chances for success and failure this is true, but when posted rates are so broken. IT is extremely disheartening for current and new players to WANT to progress in a game that just presents more and more failure. When I hear someone spends 1k lifestones to get 7.5% critical damage on a Elmore cloak, 500 blessed scrolls for someone to get a weapon blessed, 500+ Circlet of hero boxes to get only 1 +4, people trying to advance a Ignis Necklace +8 for nearly 2 years using probably over 200+ or more scrolls to have it never go. It seems to me, we are at a Carnival trying to throw a round ball into an oval basket and all the games (rates) are fixed and ninja patched/changed from week to week, month to month.
