What did you expect from the current bunch of haven't-a-clues we have for a dev team now?
Not only was the event 5 days late, it also only rewarded the xsharding dealers and was over in less than 10 seconds.
Pitiful, EA, pitiful.

What they should do ASAP is to change the item lists and make them unique on all the shards that are left for this event so at least they can have a fun and challenging event that will last more than 5 seconds...

They used the same list!!!? Who's that short-sighted?
It follow my belief that there are a growing number of people involved in the game planning that don't actually play the game.

I said this would happen a couple days ago. This is why Event Moderators were so valuable, they could have tailor made each hunt for their shard.

I would have thought that people arriving with pre-prepared bags would have been disqualified for cheating, but apparently not.
There are a lot of very disappointed and angry players on Europa right now. I hope that steps will be taken to avoid a similar occurance for the rest of the event schedule.

already over?
A hint to EA the trick of scavenger hunts is not to know the items beforehand ...

I have read through the feedback on the boards regarding the event. So I have actually made 2 modifications to the event itself.
1. Players can only win on 1 account period. So if you won on Europa you can’t win on any other shard.
2. I will wait 15 minutes before placing the submission chest. So that if players retrieved a list and are sitting their waiting with the items in hand they will not have an advantage.
In light of these changes to improve the event to make it fair for everyone I will be running this event again Thursday 21st (europa only) at the same time. This is the only time I will be able to rerun the event due to the changes.
I also want to include there are multiple lists. So I will be rotating those more frequently.

Thanks for the response Chrissay
Although I appreciate you´re taking time to change it a little, I´m not so sure if #1 will help as the greedy brokers will just use a trial account to stand there with ready to drop the items.
I really think that unique lists for every shard would be the best option.
But once again, I appreciate your response...

IIRC, you can drop an item into a chest on a wider radius than simply dropping it on the ground. If I stand far enough from the chest spawn location so that my submission bag does not drop to the ground and spam left click, will it drop when the chest pops? Will the position of the chest be changed on each shard?
Is there a limit to the prizes? Does everyone who submits a proper bag get a prize?

Those two changes won't help much. Trial accounts, scripting and all that.
One thing that might help out a lot is to make a minimum time requirement played on the character submitting items of say 40 hours. That would prevent a lot of the cross sharding for this event at least. We know that character time played is tracked because you have to have 40 hours logged in to join thief guild.

It's times like this that a good RNG is actually a blessing. where the prizes are limited and potentially valueable. Let's say we have a 15 minute submission window. When the window closes we have our good friend Mr RNG pick 5 (must be present) winners. Enter as many times as you have accounts of course (non-trial).
edited to add:
Either that or let everyon have a prize that drops a bag. (one/account)

On Oce, one of the winners oh so proudly proclaimed that he had all the items in his bag and all he had to get was the 2 items from the v-day gift box.
Even though my client crashed, I didn't win, it was at 10am on a Sunday morning and given it was over in < 3 minutes, I could complain, but I am still greatful that there are events again. One massive highlight of my game play was the events. (we still have unfinished EM events on Oce)
I will suggest however that the items needed aren't so 'collected' like the ring earrings and necklace, which can all be gotten from the same vendor.
Each buy-able item needs to be from a separate vendor, IE a necklace (jeweller) a bottle of wine (innkeeper) and a gourd (farmer).
And I also do think that each shard should have a separate list so there is no 'preparing' for the hunt.

Oh boy are you opening up a can of worms re-running the event only on europa. While I definitely think they deserve it, you are setting a dangerous precedent.

I did not go to the event.
Is it partly automated?
Would it be possible to make a list of 300 items and have a rng pick five of those once a month for an event?
