Thank you for the Global event BG and HCS even though the kill count is crazy. The biggest problem I have with this is the 100 FSP award for the top 100. I'm very disappointed in this portion, but it was your choice to do it.
Love the fact that there's another GE and looking forward to the Halloween LE's coming out too, but I, like Keydn and Parrot, am gob-smacked that there's 100 fsp for the top 100 contributors.
I wish you guys had stayed with the 1 or maybe 2 extra chests for the top 100, or maybe another custom avatar as a reward, but this sends out, IMO, the wrong signals.
1. I wonder if you've just set a very dangerous precedent ? - you've done it now, so folk will expect it again and again (and, knowing some players, will expect the amount to increment too)
2. I suspect that folk with massive stam banks will claim all (or the vast majority) of these 100 fsp payouts (this is, btw, not taking anything away from them, they've paid [one way or another] to get those massive banks ..). Even 10 hrs in, the #100th player has almost 20k kills - and there are a further 130 hrs (give or take) remaining. I shudder to think what the count for #100 will be at that point, but I bet it's WAY out of reach of most players. I know that the chests are worth far more in reality, but they are bound and can't be used as character upgrades so there's a world of difference between an extra chest or two and 100 fsp to a lower level player.
Maybe a solution is to split the top 100 contributors into 5 bands - as in :-
Level 1 - 350 Players - the top 20 in that band get an extra reward
Level 351-700 Players - the top 20 in that band get an extra reward
Level 701-1050 Players - the top 20 in that band get an extra reward
Level 1051-1400 Players - the top 20 in that band get an extra reward
Level 1400 + Players - the top 20 in that band get an extra reward
Whilst it's not an idea solution, it's a lot "fairer" than just lumping everyone under the same umbrella and thinking that a low level player has a chance of winning a top 100 place

Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.
Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?
I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...
