This thread was about suggestions, not internal GC affairs and GC dilemma.
Even if we find some magical event that is more fun than CTF, that does not fix the deep root of the problem with GC right now, which is the stagnant useless prizes and ever inflating ticket count. Without tickets having worth, there is not a whole lot of incentive other than the event itself to play the event, there is no more economy driving events. While other methods of competition are in the works for GC events. The main problem that needs to be focused on is making tickets worth something again besides a number to collect. When that is established, players will participate in a wider range of events instead of choosing to idle if CTF is not hosted.
If you can't find any players to play another other than CTF, don't host, CTF should not be being hosted as much as it is anyway, it ruins the long term fun of the event and further inflates tickets. Unless there is a good reason to do it, such as entertaining an abnormaly large player count, etc, CTF should not be over hosted. If people don't want to play anything other than CTF, don't host, it isn't an obligation to host CTF all the time, if people know its either xxx or nothing, and GCs can't be pressured into hosting CTF, perhaps your turnout will increase in other events.
Also there's nothing wrong with events with 3-4 players in there either.
A lot of studio A events I and many others enjoy. |
