Spending so much time trying to break the Top 20, only to then have to spend the 3rd Day (if it's a weeknight), trying to reap the rewards of your hard work (and for many, they only get ~3 - 5 hours if they're lucky on a weeknight), is too punitive.

One way is as you mentioned, having the amount of contribution extend the Defense (Battle) Period more than 24 hours. (To get more time to try and win items.)

Or, another way might be to increase the Drop Rate for being Top 20 (or reaching a Max Threshold as the OP suggests), so that even though you can only invest 3 - 5 hours, at least, you have a better chance than what we have now.
Ya a treshold idea would defintely work better then a Top 20, the competition it creates just makes the item sink to huge for it's reward gains, I do hope they touch upon this issue soon cause it it true that the way it stands now all Hamlet will be used for is regaining anima when you are running low on it lol.

But that's also where the idea of the other 2 Hamlets working in a completely different way come in, I do hope they have plans of making the party requirements for those different where the one now can be seen as a Normal party setup. The other one can be seen as a Light party and the 3rd one could be an alliance. At least in this way all 3 Hamelts would have their own unique flavor to them and people who complain about not enough 8+ events will finally have one they can do with others.

I plan on saving up materials for the next round so I can atleast get a lot of runs in Friday night. My main concern is that I wont be able to find people to do Hamlet with . . . we shall see. I am also very skeptical of Hamlets getting to Lv2 once the other two are released.
Same here, I turned in once and when I saw that it reset completely I went... hm ya think I'll wait for a weekend lol. They gotta lower the sink a bit, at first the sink looked great because we weren't sure how it would turn out after the battle, but seeing as it resets completely just makes the whole ordeal fruitless when attempting to do it so you can gain that extra chance at an item..

As far as the treshold goes though I would say 200k is a good treshold to gain the benefits since it does seem a majority of people can aim that high, and if they can't do it in the process of a 50hr run then they can just stock up on items and turn them in when they know they are going to be doing a lot of runs.

In perspective 200k=20 stacks of NQ materials, 2 stacks of HQ materials, 2 stacks NQ crafted items of 20 HQ crafted items turned in.

That's still 200 synths at max in a 50hr process so being able to get 200k every other run wouldnt' be that imbalanced and as for materials if you were to get 5 of x materials a cut every 4 cuts, that's about 400 cuts if you were to get said materials 4/8 cuts which would still be 100 trees lol.

I think my math is right, hopefully they do something like this since the sink will still be there but it won't be as overclocked as it is now.
