    It could be weekends only. It's looking very likely at the moment actually.

    Sorry, no. Did the event the full 8 hours it was up on the first day, of the 7 hats that dropped to people in my party, all of them came from when my party had claim on the dead elites. And when the other party that was with us got drops, it was when they had claim. If it was purely participation based, I would've gotten a drop after 8 hours and 4 sets of completely broken armor.

    Lazy imperials! Taking 5 days off and only raiding on the weekends! No wonder we can't beat them, we're too busy raiding dungeons and beating down primals on weekends.

    GW events are not really random , you have to wait something like 3 hours between the map major event and other events start at worse 30 mn after they ended .

    If it truly was participation based, and anyone who risked their lives could get a drop, it almost sounds like the definition of fair. If I run in there with my pld with no party and tank it just so the surrounding mages have a window of safe nuking, and we had both had chance at drop, I call that fair. IF IF IF that is how they have it set up.

    In the past they have mentioned their hesitance of open world content. If participation is part of the equation, it is a welcomed mechanic by me. It is probably not how they made it though...

    It's quite possible it's not working as intended. Maybe it was supposed to have set times of occurrence but they messed up the code so it only happened the 1(?) time.

    nope, I fought them during two distinct spawns. Both were on the same day. However, I haven't seen them since.

    They've spawned 3 times since the event began. However if SE could give us any word on it, it could easily clear up the wild speculation going on and allow a lot of us to get some sleep.

    We confirmed with the Battle Team that like everything else, the rights to the loot will go to the party that makes the initial claim.
