if i remember tonka and minea alway post the event on the forum few hours before it started
Again that doesn't change the market whatsoever so yea not noticable. What is actually so bad about having a little bit of extra rewards for the players that are on at that time?
A little bit?
Ok, I supose a little unannounced event that plumbered the price of an item that you, had to farm on dungeons pr battlegounds, to less than 50% of it previous price is not something that changed the market right?
That has literally never happened. There has been spawning events that changed the market, but they were always posted about ahead of time. Of course if every player at the event received the reward sure something is bound to change, but it stabilizes and goes back to it's original price the very next day.
If this actually HAS ever happened, has it happened again recently or even again AT ALL?
I'm not trying to gloat or show off in anyway, but if you're just going to complain about the strongbox event, you should have been doing Spacecat's last mongo event too if you were a new player. Although I think I was more fortunate that other players, I farmed the mongos for about 2 hours a day and managed to get a total of 110 Spacecat tokens, If I were to have converted ALL of those tokens into kitty whiskers (price actually went down to 9k - 10k gold each on MT) that would be 22 whiskers which converts to 198k - 220k from a 1 weekend event. It's just the way you look at events and play around them to make gold from it. Same goes for the strongbox event.
I remember when they were 50K...
The diference between the strongbox event and the spacecat mongo event is the first one the ones who got the benefits where those who use real money and those who already had an absurd amount of keys horded.
That was not an event for everyone at all.
Mean while the spacecat mongos event was at least one who anyone avobe level 30 could join and get rewards if he put some time an effort.
I think the second event is the one we need the most not the first one.
It may not be for everyone, but it's still beneficial for every player so long as they play around the market for it.
The problem for strongbox event is not that people are hoarding them, but because of two things:
1) The past Strongbox event was way too long ago that most people forget it existed.
2) Corsair's no longer drop Strongbox Keys (for gods sake bring back the keys we need CS back alive)
The rates for Strongboxes are considerably low for what it is worth, so I don't think it flooded the market on its own. No jackpots on my end after nearly 100 keys (not complaining but still)
Newbies shouldn't really sell mats for gold anyway (most of them are actually hardstuck for mats/talents rather than raw gold, speaking from experience with fresh unfunded characters). Selling GT/ST as a newbie source of income is actually a noobtrap regardless of whether there are events that lower the cost of talents because of the sheer amount you need to continue your gearing.
FWIW, it was no different -- some events were advertised, some events were impromptu. EME's various GMs/CMs been doing impromptu events since the launch of the game. There's also been lots of forum threads about it both ways; some people like them, some don't. Really, nothing's changed much over the years about this.
i am pretty sure they advertised in the old forum unorganized events and in which server
the problem with our last cm it is even in the server he doesnt advertise people when he started a event
