Scavenging caves. That's a swear word in my opinion!!!
Besides that's just the same as 'buying' frags. Something I'm also not overly fond of.
What exactly is wrong with an event were the SE's storm the realms. As long as there are no easy medals or flooded gear. Just fragments for composing... :S
nothing I guess
as long as its with advance notice so nobody goes out to SE hunt and loses a drop
IF and this is it because its a big IF,,its just as easy to do as just release a LE event with LEs that work just like they were meant to do. If its harder or more work then no id rather see the time spent on adding the new SEs Grim mentioned was planned and LE events as well.
To me its the extra work just to make a SE instead of LE, as I mentioned many are res and recipe so they would not be included which isnt much work. Guys with alt drops like destroyer are few and between but got to be a pain to go code out that drop then code back in then hope theres no bugs from it. Then I dunno about coding but sounds like a bit of work to change a random spawner to a event spawner.
otherwise I got no complaints to this idea
As far as the other options go I understand that its not what you think should be but everyone has one thing they dont really like but sometimes ,,, the good of the many outweigh the needs of the one. To quote Mr Spock.
To me they found a problem,,, to get enough SE frags with just regular SEs means only ruby hunters are gonna pass whatever level that type comes into play and so leaving one set of creatures in one area was a pretty good compromise,, and yes one I complained about before I was told they know and intend to keep that,, then I thought about it and yea a good fix and way to make it work.
Caves, yea I hate those too but yet another option and nobody is forced to hunt SE, compose or anything which is another reason I would not like forced frag for anything,, FS isnt about forcing anyone to do optional stuff.
So if you want to get your SE frags solely by hunting SE then more power to you
I have thought a bit about this since last post tho,,, how bad would it be,,, and hear me out. IF
They made a SE event, picked a few and spawned them maybe a bit less than LEs but say 1-3 for each of their realms with instant spawn?
Drops are left and option to frag or use or drop or sell is left alone.
And medals work
For only one day and with a more limited spawn amount it could be a lot of fun!!! A LOT of fun!!! and while it would drop prices a bit and maybe be seen as a "easy" medal it could be done in a way that the least desirable SEs were the released ones and only a couple each event which are also widely spaced out.
They could also change the res and recipe guys to drop some crap set thats still SE for that event
Some may say I contradict myself I think its because I am not rigid on either side here but would like to see it kept in the middle of both extremes
