Say all you want PvPers but this wasn't an equal opportunity exclusive like every other in the game's history. No other event in the game has ever had major rewards(minions included I guess) limited to such a certain few. They have only been limited time. Not limited time AND supply.

    Raiders.. imagine if the Devs had a reward for the first 3 world first groups in a data center at a raid release. And then 3 Elysium teams beat it first. As they tend to do. You wouldn't be upset?

    That's what the minion is. Limited Supply for anything in this game is horrible.. It doesn't work.

    Housing???

    ...That doesn't make any sense.

    1) So devs aren't allowed to try anything different anymore because it's hasn't happened in the history of the game before?

    2) You're also ignoring contest rewards, which have also been limited by time AND supply but nobody had issue with those because they were accessories that nobody will really notice. But the moment the reward is something of interest to YOU like a minion... OH! Someone think of the children!

    And sorry if this all sounds like derailing the thread, but my point is that while it's great and important to listen to our feedback to improve the game a line needs to be drawn when those requests are going too far. If not then ANYONE may take issue with ANY new reward set for Feast seasons if the kind of reward happens to be of interest to them by using the same "limited time AND supply" excuse. Having to find a reward which is interesting for pvp'ers but not for other angry mobs is too much unnecessary work.

    I'm not interested in minions at all xD. In fact I never use any minions.

    There are 3 things that make contests different.

    1. They are almost entirely out-of-game activities not in-game. Making them alot less accessible.

    2. The rewards stay the same it seems. That barding or earrings

    3. The contest gives everyone a reward in the form of hairstyles or armor.


    You can't count things that cost money like the Odin horse because it's an out-of-game item.

    We are talking about in-game items being limited supply.

    But last post lol. Because derailment.
