    It's not dying on Shiva. Still plenty of people doing it.

    I think people should be more concerned with Devious Die prices. On Lakshmi the price is rising by leaps and bounds due to the lack of WoE participants. While saying this, though, I don't wish for a measure to be implemented that makes these dice come from another source, but rather a measure that stimulates players to participate in WoE itself. I believe a Therin Ichor like system could fix this, or expand upon the useage for coins and dice, similar to Limbus (i.e. Ancient Beastcoins were used to upgrade AF1 as well as being used to purchase items such as Brutal Earring.)

    Something needs to be done to bolster WoE attendance.

    It's the nyzul isle effect.

    Half the people can't get what they need because you need too many people to do and no one is willing to go and/or is already done with it. It's also impossible for new players to even reach the area that have drops due to the lack of people doing the lower ones.

    But you can access all the battlefields without having to have completed the lower number ones first. Or did I miss the point?

    It's not really like nyzul isle at all. You don't have to complete lower tier fights first, and there are other people around that want the same thing as you so you can get it done. #7 and #8 don't require a whole lot of people and I see those getting run regularly. The problem is you can't get anyone to do the others, because they all stick with the easiest one.

    The other night WoE was dead when previously it was always at least busy enough to do flux 7 pretty easily. I'll have to keep an eye on it before I declare it dead or alive, but I certainly hope interest in it hasn't subsided. I'm really close to getting the coins I need for GA and GK.

    I liked new WoE when people did it. But I hated and still hate the loot system, especially for coins. It may be the same amount of coins getting paid out to players, but it's so random that nobody is getting what they want. It's discouraging and it's what's killing the stupid event.

    Old WoE with the gentlemen's agreements and /seacom coin picking was a pain, but you put your work in and at the end of the day the boss showed up and handed you a check. Now it's like you put in your work, and at the end of the day the boss goes up in a hot air balloon and throws everyone's pay down like an 1800's monopoly tycoon tossing pennies over a ghetto. Some filthy drug addict has all of my Glory Coins and there's nothing I can do about it.

    Just looked tonight and there's been no more than 4 people in WoE. Why has it so suddenly gone out of fashion? I know it's not perfect, but I was actually starting to get somewhere... now I guess the fun's over and I can't figure out why.

    It probably has something to do with all of the people who wanted to farm the scrolls and dice for themselves have achieved their goal, as well as the people doing WoE for money realizing it isn't terribly inefficient compared to other methods. That leaves only the people who want to progress their WoE weapons to struggle through the battlefields.

    Idea! Add a super cool consumable item to WoE chests, like a 1% chance to receive a primeval brew that can be used anywhere - this might be a tad broken but I think I have gotten my point across.
