Hey there.
Events are not supposed to be scheduled, no, sorry.

To the citizens of the United States of America
In light of your failure to financially manage yourselves and inability to effectively govern yourselves responsibly, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and territories (with the exception of Texas which is beyond hope).
Your new Prime Minister, David William Donald Cameron will appoint a governor for the former United States of America without the need for future elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine if anyone even noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependancy, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect.
1. You will learn that the suffix BURGH is pronounced "burra". You can spell Pittsburgh as Pittsberg from now on if you can't cope with simple pronunciation. Then look up aluminium and check the pronunciation - you will be amazed at just how wrong you've been pronouncing it.
2. The letter "U" will be reinstated in words such as "colour", "favour" and "neighbour". Likewise, you will learn how to spell doughnut without dropping half of the letters.
3. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up vocabulary). Using the same 27 words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.
4. There is no such thing as "US English". Microsoft will be contacted and the spell checker will be adjusted to take into account the reintroduced letter "U"
5. You will learn your reintroduced National Anthem "God Save The Queen" & July 4th will no longer be a public holiday.
6. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not ready to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults and then used solely for hunting grouse. If you're not adult to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're certainly not ready to handle a gun, let alone shoot grouse.
Therefore, you will be no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required should you wish to carry this in public.
All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand.
All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts and you will start to drive on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will allow you to understand the British sense of humour.
The former United States of America will adopt the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland prices on petrol (which you have, to date, been calling gasoline) of roughly $10 / gallon. Get used to it.
You will learn how to make real chips. Those things you call French Fries are not real chips and those things you insist on calling potato chips are correctly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat and dressed with malt vinegar.
Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive and rude with customers.
The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling "beer" is not actually beer. Henceforth only proper "English Bitter" will be referred to as beer and European beers of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as lager. New Zealand and Australian beer is also acceptable. American "beers" will henceforth be known as "Near Frozen Gnats Urine"
Hollywood will be required to occasionally cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialog in Four Weddings was bad, but Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" was akin to having ones ears removed with a cheese grater.
You will cease playing "American Football". There are only 2 kinds of proper football. One you call soccer and one you call rugby. Those of you who are brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has SOME similarities to American Football but does not involve stopping for a rest every 20 seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies)
Further, you will stop playing baseball. It's not reasonable to host an event called "The World Series" for a game which is not played outside the USA. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will all learn cricket in it's place.
You must tell us who killed JFK - it's been driving us nuts.
An Inland Revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesties Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due, backdated to 1776.
Daily Tea Time begins at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, with high qualities biscuits (no longer called cookies) and cakes plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
Thank you for your co-operation.
God Save The Queen

The answer to rescuing the game from oblivion, isn't to make the game all benefits with no downsides.
The answer also involves ensuring that the downsides don't dominate over the benefits---for every player the game wishes to keep involved.
I can't help feeling that part of the problem with this discussion is that one side is thinking about big established guilds (that can provide all the advantages of lots of free equipment, free buffs, lots of people wanting to step in and share the load of defending GVG ...) while the other is thinking about small, beginning-to-get-established guilds (where you bring most of your own equipment, and where having the we-defend-our-guild attitude requires its members to have GVG as their top priority, and potentially using up all their stamina).
Personally, I think the game needs both sides. And I think the game mechanics have to be such as to ensure that both sides think the benefits far outway the downsides. And I say *far* outway deliberately: this is, after all, a game---people will stay involved only because they enjoy it, and not for the good of their soul.
And as a way ahead, maybe there is a profitable discussion to be had about refining the game parameters (rather than cahnging the game mechanics). Would things be different (better? worse?) if the minimum guild size went up to 5 or 6 (or down to 3)? Or if the cool down for repeat attacks was made longer for smaller guilds? Perhaps one could introduce an intermediate guild size range (5-8 members?) where there was an opt-in/out (and yes, I realise that is a change in game mechanics, though I could argue that it is really just a smoothing that makes the existing distinctions less abrupt).

I'm sorry Pythia, I figured it'd be obvious I was joking.
The only way to 'opt out' is to be in an ineligible guild.

Red, I'm not too sure why you'd bait me, but...
Now that you brought it up... Aren't you even more intrigued why I think this is good for the game, even if it "hurts" my profit?
I fully support this type of GE and even other GEs that give frag drops on some mobs.
I've farmed frags for over three years now and, of course, these events "hurt" my business. But I've met some great people and they deserve some relief.
In the "community" spirit, you'd have to understand that there are things that are more important than yourself.
I will always try to champion what, I believe, is good for the game over what is good for me. And really, it's quite simple because, what is good for the game, is good for me.
I`m sure a Frag farmer would not want the COMMUNITY to have any chance of getting the top reward....
So yeah, you stand corrected.

It may encourage me to participate in this event, I am virtually drowning in every fragment type.
How`s about putting a Lib 750 in this Frag event for anyone that get`s like say>>>>100k kills and get this thing moving along..RED
I having enough fragment type too and not doing fragment events anymore, for me using my stamina on hunting is better for my game character building
giving Lib 750 to players who doing 100k kills will only rewarding players with huge stamina banks and increasing level difference between low and high players more
in beginning global events was 1 every month and we having many players joining because they were rare, then some players starting saying they needing more global events and now we getting 2-3 every month, it is not surprise that activity is decreasing with global events getting more

Create a way to allocate more skill points to extend the skill duration...But not the level.

You could always rebalance the system.
Set it so level 1 - 1000 remains the same.
1001 - 2000 receives 4 skill points per level
2001 - 3000 receives 3 skill points per level
3001 - 4000 receives 2 skill points per level
Cap it so that eventually we only receive a max of 1 point per level.
Then hard reset everyones skills.
Bingo, you've just made your life easier, while at the same time making it so we won't have eleventy billion skill points to spend on things we don't need. (Advocating using personal skill points to spend on stuff 'other people' could want is an unacceptable solution. Sorry Grim)
Probably not the most popular solution, then again anything that takes away anything from people in this game always come under fire. Doesn't mean certain things shouldn't happen though.

As an composer level 60 [I'm max level composer since end of July 2015, I guess I was one of the 10 firsts max level composers - I would guess 5~9th] I would like to say, composing is already good enough ... the buffs high level composers can do is almost as good as many global chest buffs ... if composing level increases and it reaches exactaly the same buff levels or higher than global chests there will be no reasonable need for them to do globals anymore
Keep composing the way it is now +1

Composing is fine at 60 for the time being. There are other facets of the game that need a looking at first, sorry.

Arena potions are certainly something I can look at. Just give some suggestions.
Fallen Sword is doing just fine, that's why there IS constant work done on it. Now, stay on topic please.
Topic : Arena potions.
