DC is correct.

Mystic is not completely correct. Yes, GCs overhosted ctf. Yes, it is partially their fault. But like I said before, a declining playercount in 08 created bigger gaps in between events. Since there was no content, people were having less fun than they had previously. GCs decided to try and fill the 'fun void' by hosting the "funnest" event we had, CTF. Did it work? For a while, yes. But we can see where that got us. CTF is now the only widely requested event, and by far the one event the majority will join. Many events are now simply unhostable because not enough people join them. GCs have tried to correct the event imbalance but to no avail. Until other events are as fun and competitive as CTF (or at least how CTF used to be,) we will still have an event imbalance.

How so? CTF has spoiled this server big time. There are several other fun events that I could think of, and creativity is one essence to a GC. It is the fault of the GC team for overkilling CTF where it can be the only hostable event right now. In fact, I take that back. There are events in which some people still will enjoy.

I can agree that with tickets being completely useless, that creates no incentive for events. Right now with this GC items rule of "cant damage", you honestly won't see a drive for tickets. I gave my suggestions to Night about making tickets useful again, but that would have to warrant a ticket reset.
