you guys have raised extremely valid points towards my view on earning event coins. I am willing to admit that I was mistaken and I have changed my mind in regards to the subject.

the primary objective behind the awardguild feature was to give team events a purpose. why host assault if it inevitably ends up as an LMS? ETs might as well skip the bullshit and host LMS from the very start.

it turns into a lose lose situation because if it stays in place, ECs are too easy to earn. if it's removed, team events serve no purpose. the only solution I see here is to redesign the currency and how it's rewarded through a system that salesman mentioned in an earlier post.

Prizes that are only worth 1-10 EC have to be consumables. What else could you give them? Anything worth that amount can not be 'showing off' also. As everybody could afford them, so it's like not you are the only person to own this item.

very good point.

I agree that consumables should be the only things worth 1 EC.
but there definitely should be more novelty items in the shop that are reasonably priced. maybe in the 10 - 30 EC range. like stuff that sets your gani such as the glow sticks. or look at the type writer. silly concept, but seems to be really popular (and only 10 EC!) people enjoy stuff like that. not everything has to be related to combat.

Also, there is to many events that aren't PK events. There is around 10-15 PK events compared to 50 or so races/other events. Is it any wonder people don't PK? They play the game and are to busy racing or cracking puzzles. You need to create more PK events, get more people involved in PKing and maybe just maybe people will raid more often!

I agree. maybe we need more world events. what ever happened to mars?? is that ever hosted anymore? it gets people active on the gmap pking. it brings gangs together to try and bring down the king. I can't think of a more perfect example.

We also need events that last longer than usual, the events we play only last around a minute or 2 at the most. Create events that last longer than usual, this gives people more fun and more time to win the event and it keeps people online longer.

very good point. I played a gravity event the other day and I spent more time waiting for the event to start than playing the actual event itself. maybe introduce rounds? best 2 out of 3 will work out well here. instead of players dying and getting warped out, they are just put back in their team box until the next round. this adds more pking and more time to the event and will also mean players will have to work a little harder for their ECs.
