Regarding events and afk exploiters "Disclaimer there might be some spelling errors"

Do not give reward to people in events that do not hit mobs once, i do hit mobs but rarelly i am first hitter since its so many that tag first.
Should be possible to make an algorythm to only give reward to people who heal/buff/or hit in events...

This is just my personal feedback and wont look this post more since its a hot topic and fuel for drama, I am here for feedback not drama!

XP is supposed to be based on contribution for events but it it isn't implemented yet. So we literally have hundreds (over 200) of people at an event with most of them just standing there if they're even at their keyboards. And when the event repeats every 15 minutes, well, they just wait since it still generates far more experience than anything else that can be done in the same time.

It also totally ruins node testing when there are hundreds of people afk at an event in Miraleth ranking it up and zones like New Aela barely have any mobs or any events to draw players, making it impossible for the zone to be competitive.

TBF ordinary grinding lvl 8+ is better exp than this event even if its bugged or not...

Eh if it weren't so lucrative, people would be grinding (and doing other things in the downtime in between).

But that's not really the point. It's more about afk exploiting, which they posted specifically not to do, and the imbalanced experience generated for the node.

Whoever solely grind this event for exp is kinda shooting themselves in the foot. Its just bit sad that ordinary players that run around grinding different events get stuck in between

The problem is that there are SOO many people that it would be very hard to have a little contribution. I don't want to gamble for rewards in a game

I think generally mobs are very congested to very few areas for the amount of people in the level range and that is probably something they need to look into in future. There plenty areas that wont be freeholds that are completely or almost completely empty of monsters then there tons of people farming for a few mobs...

Sometimes you may not get many hits off because there are so many there farming it so I disagree with the contribution xp. The events would be abandoned and or guild only imo

Great change for something that was only good up to level 15, now no one doing events
