listen to the screaming when after the event ends the guy who gave in the most cures doesnt get the sleeves.

Now i think i see why they made the scoreboard invisible. I don't think they want people to dupe the system. Lets say Guild #1 gets together and decides to "Game this system" They can work together and make it so that every member of the guild turns in the same top amount while the average player (The one not in an active guild or who prefers to play solo), ends up with a sash because he couldn't compete. Personally, i say more power to the guild but i can see how a system that works this way might have the potential to be exploited to gain an unfair advantage if we could see the scoreboard. Still though, The system itself is pretty unfair to begin with. I dunno... I think Shakkara's comment kinda put me back in the middle.

Not likely to work since some pig is always greedy but it's a nice sentiment anyway...

As for me I already decided that there was no way in hell that I was getting anything decent out of the quest since I don't script. So I have opted out of it. Now if they had said..... "Anyone turning in 70 cures gets the Sleeves." Then you can bet your bottom dollar that I'd be working like a crazed lunatic to get 70 cures. However since they made some sort of sick contest out of it .... I have opted not to participate. I feel no need to work that hard to have some person with all the gold steal the show as always.

Personally if you ask me the Sleeves like so many other things are going to be extremely overpowered and honestly shouldn't be so limited like it is going to be. But that's my opinion.

I like this part of the event it is probably one of the best quest/event the devs made in years and it is not that time consuming I have done around 70 cures
total time spent on that maybe 6-7hours

When was the last time there was an item that was 1) limited time only and 2) had unique properties whose advantage lasted more than a few months? My guess is they'll have hit spells on other armor pieces as well or an easier way to get these sleeves later. Remember when casting focus was cool? Or even the mana burst armor w/ karma bonuses (which could have been cool) is still spawning. About the only properties that are still sort of rare are splintering, casting focus and fey slayer. I think everything else is imbueable somehow
