I have sent PMs on this subject… that have been ignored and I would like to put it up for discussion even if it's ignored here as well.
Christmas is coming… the “Stag Drop” needs to be retired as an unfair practice.
Why is it that so few people get loads of these rares… and so many get nothing? If it's not the super fast speed of the EM running the Stag, or whatever is dropping the rares, only other super fast players are able to pick the rares up. The majority of us loose out every single time. All this does is make a few people extremely rich because so many get left out in the cold. This has been going on for some time now and I don’t see it as fun or honest. It's also known that some people use illegal 3rd party programs that can pick up anything in site. They profit from this practice. When you see these items on vendors… why is it always several on 1 vendor? Doesn’t that support the idea only the few get the profit from a faulty idea?
It's time we rethink this holiday event. Why hand out frustration for the holidays. Whoever runs the Stag isn’t going to hand out gifts to attentive players around the shard? Even then, easily a few could end up with bag-fulls the same as the drops.
Here’s my idea. One more impressive improvement I have seen from the EM events is the 1 time only statue or NPC that hands out sashes or other goodies. Normally this is hidden in a remote area and reserved for events. Each character can only get 1 item. Great idea! Whoever designed it was thinking. Why can't something like this be used to dish out holiday goodies? As if it were a “Father Christmas”, going into a bag and handing out 1 of 5+ random rares. Far more people would get a treat. Far less people would profit from cheating. Far less people would be collecting bag-fulls to transfer to other shards. Far less will be making billions of gold from a system that is unfair and unjust. Even putting it in a cave for a few remote 1 way gates would limit it even more… but at least everyone would get a shot vs. basically a small handful. Fact is people love the odd treats, no matter how silly some people think it is.
Anyways… that’s the idea. Please consider it.
