Some takes here are just silly.

I'm someone who took their crafts from being 21 at the lowest to 60-61 at the lowest with this event so far so yeah, I've been turning in a ton of stuff, right?

Did I ever "help" another server? Yeah ... that one time I had my inventory full of turn ins and couldn't get in my server's zone because GD Balm players were camping tf outta it cause we were 1-2 hours away from the fate popping (A fate I helped make happen cause I've been using this to grind levels all day). I HAD to go to another server to dump this stuff and get my levels cause of these campers.
And yes, they are campers. Standing around the board AFK not doing anything but shouting out which server is next to rush to or mocking natives of the server, disgusting. "We'Re hElPIng", yeah right, you know damn well my server doesn't need your help.

Hell, I was shopping around for mats and trying to get to small server to check their board landed me in a 5min que cause they were "next" on the fate train Balg was pushing.

After the change? I was able to come and go freely and not worry about having to camp a spot for the fate. Took part in the 2 fates and did my turn ins freely.

It wasn't a bad idea, it just assumed players are much more altruistic than they are AND that there would be far less interest in this content I guess (Cause lol, we're months away from any update and every server is basically done. Either this needed many times more turn ins or it's not really important how fast it gets done ... so allowing other worlds to help is a fix to a problem that wasn't there). I'm sure in a perfect world Balg players would help the SMALL servers with what should be an insurmountable amount of turn ins for them and once they get the fate count down going they say "Great, lets go help this other server and leave em to it!". But that aint how it played out so good on them for rethinking that.

Feel like this wouldn't have been a problem if the fate only gave like 100/ 75 scripts. Much harder to justify being afk in a zone for TWO HOURS just for 75 scripts when you can actually do something worth your time.
