Suggestion Thread: Let's get down to some specifics.

Gladius, they may not be fun for you, but they are fun for others, if someone requests it, and you asked for requests, are you still not going to host it?

Sometimes you have to suck it up and host it for the players, a lot of players believe it or not, like 4 player events, why do we have them if they dont get hosted anyway eh?

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.

people had hundreds of tickets pre NPC server, how is this magically a problem now?

Perhaps readd the statue auction?

Im sorry gladius but I have to go with clel on this. Some how over the time you have been GC your mind has been warped on how you should host. You are still just thinking about yourself in terms of hosting and nothing else.

You should remember the old days, when GCs hosted everything in almost a day, that could still happen if the effort was put in, but no one puts in the effort. GC needs to get their bond back with each other, it used to be more like a family guild, now you all usually argue, or never communicate. Just because the event isn't as fun gladius as others, does not mean you do not host it, please understand that. We have events getting dust on them because no GC wants to host them, and i'm actually going to go ahead and contradict myself according to the first sentence i have in this post, but sometimes you have to go and say screw requests, im going to go host CoD and people will play it, im telling you people will play it. But you probably dont even know what CoD is which also could be a problem.

You need to suck it up man, stop fighting with clel, and start hosting more, more of everything, you really dont have any variety , not alot of GCs do now. None of you host nearly enough either, you all need to step up your game biiiiiiiig time.

Tickets aren't the deep problem here in all honesty. As Kevin said, a statue auction would of been a good thing as well. I suggested it to Night (while he told me it was a feature before), a very long time ago and nothing still has been done.

CTF is our most popular event. Of course it is going to be the most hosted. Overhosted? I think not though. Lack of a modern events system is what kills our events.

I take it you haven't ready any of my points to Clel at all. It's okay though since Clel appears to be on the same boat as you.
