The more and more I hear about this "new" WoE, the more and more it seems SE is making this event even more of an event few if any will do.

Currently the Empyrean weapon is far easier to acquire than the WoE vanillas. In order to combat this, we're getting a JP midnight lockout on the harder weapons? Eh?

The only way this would work is if coins dropped at an old dynamis rate off NQ mobs. You'd then have a situation where you don't have enough NQs to make the run worthwhile for a group. Again, Abyssea would be a better option.

This plan to eliminate the final lootpool is silliness. If we're going to be reserving the run, why would you get rid of that pool? Individuals would only bring in who they want so lootpools wouldn't be a big deal.

Evaluation systems again SE? Why? Is a point system so difficult to create? Kill mob -> get points -> turn points in for what you want. All this evaluation formula will do is hurt certain classes and promote abuse via buffs or whatever turns out to be worth the most points.

WoE seems to be taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back.
