Hello,
If you are reading this you are probably one of the many frustrated players that have had issues with this event. There’s a lot of mostly angry discussion on this, and the best way to deal with this is to concentrate our feelings into a single post that ANet will see.
The problem is that a lot of people didn’t get a fair chance at the reward chest at the end of P3 because of time and work issues or being disconnected from the event.
Myself, along with many others, tried for hours to get at this chest, with many frustrating setbacks, and ultimately an unannounced build ended our efforts.
The solution could be extending the event another 24 hours to give everyone a fair chance (with a set start and end time), or giving everyone who participated a one-time chest similar to the one at the end of the P3 event.
If ANet cares, they will at least acknowledge our feedback. All we can really do is voice our opinion and let them know how we feel about how they handled this situation. (which is why i’m putting this on Reddit, as well as the forums)
Thanks for reading, remember that I am just trying to help everyone here, I don’t think ANet handled this correctly, and I think this is the best way to respond. Please comment/upvote for visibility.
