My thoughts on the current events system - 2

I havent gotten into a queued even a single time. Is it necessary to have invites on? or just bad luck

I've always thought a good solution to this issue (as I've been led to understand it) would be to 1) fully automate all events and then 2) use level instances.

So for instance, take Chance. Let's say 500 people say they want to play the event. You have a system that sorts the players out into ten identical Chance levels and starts them all simultaneously. So now instead of 500 people in 1 level, you have 50 people in 10 levels. If it's important to have only one winner you combine the levels together between rounds as people are eliminated. If it isn't, even easier, the winner in each level gets a prize.

if you want competition go pk, spar, or tower. Personally i dont care about the "lag" the old event system had, I dont see it as a problem. I prefer the new system because it gives everyone an equal chance of joining. Not everybody wants to no-life the server and learned every building on the map.

I have only gotten into 1 event since the new que system. And i enter everytime im on and an event message pops up. I hate not getting in and having a small petcentage chance of getting in,but I would rather stay with the new system and have less lag. It also keeps those same no lifers in event team guilds from winning almost every single event.

To me a decision that improves the game play for a majority of the community is better than one that affects the minority.

I like the new queue system way better. I never got into an event ONCE with the old system.
