You know before i took my break from the game momma i had a thought about globals that i am sure people would HATE. But, I have never been one to care about people disliking my ideas lol. Maybe during global events the cows could make it to where the only way you could use stam was to kill globals lol. No PvP, no regular hunting, no titans, just killing global beasties was available lol. oh bring on the flames.......it's ok i gots my fireproof undies on LOLOLOLOL
My idea was :-
Just before announcing an event, the game takes a snapshot of every active (say 30 days) players current stamina.
Then, the tiers are calculated in relation to that captured figure - that way, players with massive stamina banks need to get more kills / tier than those with minimal stamina banks. Yes, I know that this "penalises" those players (like myself, I may add) who have upgraded their stamina considerably (albeit not by some folks standards) but this "penalty" would JUST apply to global events, no other facet of the game - so, in all other areas of the game, the stamina banks would still be a big asset.
So, to extend the idea ...
Let's assume a player has 100k (for ease of calculation) current stamina just before an event is launched. The event would work on a "sacrifice" of 50% stamina to get the best awards.
For Bronze Tier the player would need to expend 10% of their base stamina killing critters (so, 10K)
For Silver Tier the player would need to expend 20% of their base stamina killing critters (so 20K)
For Gold Tier the player would need to expend 30% of their base stamina killing critters (so 30K)
For Crystal Tier the player would need to expend 40% of their base stamina killing critters (so 40K)
For Ruby Tier the player would need to expend 50% of their base stamina killing critters (so 50K)
Obviously, a few factors would need to be considered :-
1. The actual kill counts would need calculating
2. MUCH bigger global doublers would need to be made available beforehand
3. Absolutely NO warning/indication (or regularity) of an event be given so as to prevent players dumping stam just beforehand.
I'm sure this idea could be further "fleshed out"
(also has the flame retardant clothing on .... )

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 ...
