    Honestly just make it so you have to contribute 7500 points before the fates spawn to be able to particpate or get booted out of the firmament until fate is over. This would keep people who actually contributed to the effort, slow down any off world people as they are forced to do a fair few crafts to participate per world.

    7500 points would be less than a 100 lv 70 crafts with highest rating as an example how easy it is.

    I agree with this idea, though I would make it a bit lower, for those who have less time. But yeah, 1% or 7500 pts or something. But make it fair to those crafters who are only lvl 20. It's supposed to encourage players to take up crafting. Not quit out of bitterness.

    100 crafts is a lot to ask for a casual crafter - the people this is aimed at.

    I agree with this... I did 100 skybuilders' cooking pots last night, and not only did that mean crafting 100 items as collectables, but it also meant crafting 100 dark chestnut lumber, gathering 500 dark chestnut logs to make that lumber, as well as gathering 600 skybuilders' high mythrite sand and 600 skybuilders' hardsilver ore. Making 100 items is a pretty massive time investment, it took me almost two hours to do this.

    It was absolutely clear that it would come to this and now we have to wait until SE decides to put a stop to it, great, really motivating me to participate any more in it.
    My recommendation: Reset the event back to zero when you block players from other worlds from participating, so that those of us who have better things to do than afking there 1 hour or longer to get 500 scrips from the fate also have a chance to participate.
    And maybe even go a step further and remove all already gathered scrips and items, if possible, so that those egoists that hopped from server to server to get 500 scrips for free while blocking us don't get anything out of it.

    As other have said, that's a bit high. Also bear in mind some may be handing in the level 20 crafter stuff, which will be waaaay less points.
    But something like 20 hand-ins buying access to a single CE on that server (resetting on world move) would at least stop casual theft-tourists, and force folk to leave and gather or buy materials to contribute on a continuous basis, interrupting the FATE-train flow consistantly; a the same time, being achieveable by even a newbie with no crafter over 20 and limited time to play (or time before the next CE).

    Why is it when we try to find solutions people give extreme solutions? That is probably over 2000 items to gather at lvl 70 and many people do not have that time. So then people would have to stockpile and then contribute and hope the fate pops while still online? Come now... that would make the opposite problem where people just opt out once they got the items they need through scrips. Or just skip the whole event entirely bc the hassle is not worth the rewards.

    I'd say a contribution of 500 points should be cool enough.
    Most of the server jumpers just camp without putting in a single craft.

    Additionally this content is for those who have completed Ishgard. So its actually pointless for most lvl 20 crafters unless its owned by a veteran who doesnt craft in the first place.
    The content is gated for Midtier and above players.
    I have characters in different servers who have not started Ishgard but crafters are at 50 already.
    Additionally Yellow scriping is faster and more rewarding. The only advantage is the glam, mount and pose for Ishgard scrips.
