We'll see how well he knows his events come Sunday.

Afaik they added an automation for season events, yet ittl be the same stuff like last year likely.

Lather, rinse and repeat; typical GermanKr3w ethics.

Why? I've never seen an unpopular server brought back by rebalancing and reseting (there are cases of popular servers remaining popular after resets, but not of servers being revived).

What is "flawless" supposed to mean? Either a solution works or it does not work. I want to make one that works.

This is precisely the perspective which is preventing you from producing anything.

Wouldn't you rather have a solution which makes the game enjoyable - even if it has some caveats, than no solution and a game which is not fun? If time was on your side, I would probably agree - but players aren't going to dawdle and drool for much longer.

I would rather have a successful solution even if it makes the game less fun for me than an unsuccessful solution that makes the game more fun for me. In fact, I would say that players focusing whether or not they would personally like any given suggestion rather than how it would attract players is acting as a barrier to finding a successful solution.
