The problem was how we were told we'd get a full weeks notice in the Global event thread, thus an announcement the week BEFORE the event not on the weekend preceding it.
That a number of people did a global event on the basis of cows implying it won't be close enough to matter was a bit of a hosing of those who wanted to help out with their stam to help the community get ruby, AND we got Ruby tier anyhow (thus what point in expending 25k stam when 4k wouldve done the trick).... We fell 700k kill short and got ruby anyhow, thus some wonder why we shouldve bothered and now will have to choose between helping others out with buffs less to get a bit more stam and losing out on their goals....
AGAIN.... this is just another example as to why HCS should consider bonus xp/gold weekends/events of 10-25% scattered throught the year like a lot of other MMOs do. These would be random and 2 day events with no advance notice. Just on a whim every 2-5 weeks. This will both help those who have lower upgrades and can't afford to drop donations like those such as myself can, as well as giving more reason to be actively playign the game. I think even running these randomly on say a Tuesday for 24 hours would be a nice way to keep people online and active to not miss out on content/events.
EDIT: Again just to clarify, not looking to whine, just clarify where some of us are coming from. I'd gladly put my stam for global events, and any other things of that nature, but I feel like some of us were a bit mislead here, or something was certainly implied that may not have been so. That's my only issue to be blunt is the timing not being what was viewed to be so, that announcement would be the Friday before so those of us who wanted to particiapte could plan ahead for it.
That aside, thanks for the XP event.... If I hadn't been so greatly looking foward to it I wouldn't be making a big deal out of this.
