Summer Event

Yes, when you disagree with someone, the best argument is always to accuse them of cheating.

I stand by what I said. If you were going to lead the bomb anyway, you lost nothing by them being there.

It was a joke dude, seriously calm down.

I lose my faith in mankind that they don't have the decency to atleast help out. I mean the event is supposed to bring people together.. yet here we are and people are agreeing with what i'm saying

You were gonna lead the bomb whether they were there or not. I fail see how they hurt anything *shrug*

I will agree with this comment here. Yes, there were leeches, they took advantage of other ppl leading the bombs, but I chose to have fun in the event with my friends and other players, I chose to take an active role and lead the bomb and help with the adds, cheering players and the bomb alike.

If they feel they enjoyed the event doing nothing but standing around, more power to them. It did not affect me in the least.

Your gonna defend these people?

For all we know, they can be botting up these ashes and selling them later. You must be a leecher as well...

I can also say the same for you. The people who want to have event locked out to other people, is the people who want to bot and sell ashes later for real money. And they want the event to be locked out, because that would certainly bump up the prices by a large margin. Think those silly party hat in Runescape.

Very true, it didn't hinder my experience at all with the event. But I'd definitely not be opposed to future events where they make it so the npc actually can tell if you participated or not!

Really? I'm wanting it to be locked so I don't be leeched on. How would you like someone sitting there getting your reward at the end of a leve for doing nothing? I don't see eye to eye with someone and I guess I like to work for what I earn. Some people grew up differently I guess.

While I agree that people shouldn't leech, I'll admit that at first, when I started the event, I did it.

The only reason I did is because I was told after asking how to go about it, someone said "just wait by the torch and wait for the NPC to come around, then talk to them." I imagine a lot of people are in this same dilemma. I would have gladly taken part in the event if I had known (yes, perhaps through my own laziness to do some research..but I asked my LS first and accepted the answer). Half the people doing it probably just don't know any better because it's what they've been told to do for the event.

[DeadRiser]

I was told the same at first, but replied on how stupid that was for that to happen.

It promotes laziness IMO. Ah well

Agreed. When I was told to do that I was like "...Wait, that's it? That's...really lame..." (Something of that nature), so after my first 3 ashes I was compelled to look it up and actually look up a guide for it. Though, I do think it's more a lack of clear instruction on SE's part. The starter NPC told me to go to the Gold Bazaar, so I went to the Gold Bazaar.

[buritoslicer]

yeah... Square should probably implement some boundaries on these events.... so people have to follow the intended instructions.

[DeadRiser]

Yeah I was lost as hell. they didn't offer enough instructions from the NPC's in my opinion. There should be an NPC where he spawns warning you that he will appear soon
