Just go check the leaderboard and you’ll see this freakish disparity

What the heck is that all about? Is that intended? Or has the Halloween event been pushed into a corner and beaten to death by some clever players?

Just looks a little funky to me  

Graal is life to them candies too  

They are tryhards with no lives, that is all.  

I respect people who play hard but, this is way way beyond that

It’s a system, like counting cards  

Yes, it is a system. They position noob accounts around the map and track which trick or treaters come out, then they race around to them. It's unfair and has been an issue since this event was conceived.  

Ah hell man, I don’t wanna play like that

Sounds like brain cancer to me

Would an event based candy system work better? Could use the ol Canival tent system and reward candy instead

I’m sure there must be a way to balance it out a bit  

The problem with the noob account thing is that it isnt exactly against the rules either, no one can stop you from having multiple accounts logged in, even if you own all of them.  

it is stupid.  

All for a plaque and gralats

No one is doing that in 31st. We're just helping each other by calling out locations we see.

lol?

No one accused your guild buddies.

Aside from that, how would you know that no one is doing that in a group of people?
More to the point - if you have 50 people camped out (full roster) is it not kind of the same thing? Pretty effective, honestly.

The issue is more the event design in relation to the game world's small layout, as opposed to anything 'wrong' that players are doing. In fact, as players, I see it as our job to find the most efficient way to tear down the obstacles put up to get the rewards.

Not really because they’re actual people playing on their accounts and not just alts created to sit still all day everyday.  

This isn’t for calling out players or guilds

This is for getting something fixed that’s obviously not working properly  

The event is working fine. It's stupidly tedious and dull, but it works.
Imagine having to work to get free hats.  

It doesn’t, when 200 people are using a system and the rest are just slugging it out, it isn’t working at all

When the gap between the mid list and top is that different you’ve got issues and some form of system abuse. I get it, you folks like how easy it is but... at least make it fair to all players

Not just the veteran top tier

Now let’s talk next year, how can we prevent this in the future?
