1) Separate instance from Queen’s Gauntlet: Allow players to choose what they want to do before entering the arena. With the players for both events combined the available player pool for the Boss Blitz has been diluted with players doing the gauntlet making the Boss Blitz less achievable. Those who want the gauntlet get the gauntlet, those who want Boss Blitz get that event.

2) More structured Gold Sink for starting the event. 1g = 100% MF boost, 1s = 1% with a max of 1g per player. No limit on the number of players who can contribute to start the event. Simply make a time window of when “contributions” will be accepted and then start the event. However, there can still be a required amount of Gold needed to trigger the event. If not reached, the event does not run and next event is in 30 minutes. No contributions accepted after start of event.

3) Structured Time & Reward. Start on the half hour and allow 25 minutes for each event. This will allow for a 5 minute contribution window and for commanders to pool up players for each segment. <10 mins Gold Rewards, <20 mins Silver, < 25 mins Bronze. >25 mins perhaps a small consolation prize.

4) Event Rewards Algorithm: Must be in the arena for X% (>60%) of the event AND hit X# of enemies in order to receive event reward. This will eliminate the ability to gain the reward via being afk.

5) Kept the NPC’s that provided boons vs. specific enemy types.. this would have assisted in the coordination of teams for each specific boss and given a specific advantage to focus on that boss.
