Once per game day. Once per earth day is no good. I'm assuming the once per real day limitation is to prevent people from being locked out by soloers and DBers. There's gotta be a better way to handle that than a 24 hour wait. Even if there isn't I would rather deal with being locked out of the solo zones than running our whole LS out there to do 1 run and leave.

Why can't some areas be open access and some areas be reserved?

And make final reward some points/tokens you can exchange for coins of your choosing. Getting 100 Coins of Ruin and barely anything else at the end of your 1 RL day run doesn't really help anyone. Also, make entry tickets accumulate if you don't go in every day, either acumulating infinitely or up to let's say 7, so that you don't have to organize the group every single day. Setting up a 30min run every day gets old fast, asking few friends to tag along and spamming 3-5 runs one evening sounds more bearable.
Hell, why not make the coins tradeable/bazaarable even, so people who get junk coins can sell them off or trade (hello Tarut Cards quest!). If I wanted an empy weaponskill, I'd ask a friend or two to team up and be done in a week with the real thing. Some lv80 versions are even soloable. WoE version can't be harder than that, considering it's inferior/placeholder.
As a side note: WoE version of Shield/Harp, that would be something to look forward to!

Personally, I'm split, but I'm still leaning toward the idea of #1, keeping it original.

If #2 wins, please for the love of God, make it once per vana'diel day.

Only reason why I like the idea of 'top 5 people getting chests' is those people put effort in the battle field, and not just being there to leech, (of course if the WoE battle IS won). If #1 win, there needs to be some kind of system that actually rewards those that did put effort into the battle, and not reward people that are just there to leech the pool.

All in all, regardless of whichever won, it should be soloable as ever.

It's not related to leeching at all. It's related to who abuses the system most.

There are points for curing, points for taking dmg, magic dmg, phy dmg, enfeebling, etc.

You can go rdm/nin melee, buff yourself, feed mobs tp, spam nukes and only look out for yourself and contribute 0 to the actual run (we've actually had rdms that made it harder w/ joytoy spam feeding it tp) and rank themselves a top chest.

2 is good. I agree with once per real-life day as long as the coin drops are increased accordingly.

But I rather a tag system of some kind that regenerates at jp midnight or hopefully the drop rate will be up for the reduced entries.

A mix,
have fluxes 1-3 or something be open for anyone, then 4-7 be reserved chambers or something to that nature

I'd be more in favour of a tag/permit system but if it's once per day make it JP midnight and possible to hold a KI so that groups can do 2 runs in one session. Which makes it worthwhile as an ls event.

Loot allocation has to change. What stopped us going as a group was the unfairness of the loot distribution system but it has already been mentioned that that is changing.

I don't think Fran's ideas are bad actually but as an ls leader I'd rather just have another event I can schedule to help people in the shell. If we're locked to once or twice per day it needs to be instanced and there needs to be more coins available than currently from each run. If you need to, deliver treasure in waves... so for example after defeating a Crab boss, have one treasure chest drop rather than waiting until the end. I understand entirely if you want to limit what drops in there but perhaps put a few coins in a chest/pool after each wave and then but the gear/pouches in a final chest.

I'd rather WoE was available every game day but if not, then I'd rather have it closed and once a real life day than open.

The only thing that has been holding Linkshells back from doing this as an LS event has been other people just enterring the zone and lotting on the drops you've been working for. However, I think adding one Conflux to tailor to those without a group would be a good idea as well.
