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

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.

2 is my vote

And if you're really going to restrict it to once per RL day, the new rewards better be really really shiny. Not this fake shiny "oh hey yeah, augged abjuration gear will be as good as empyrean armor +2 on HQ synergizes" BS we were fed 2 updates ago.

What ever they decide to do its really nice to even give players a say on the content and closest this game has even seen to real time feed back.
