After reading the forums the problem to me seems to be both of these.

1. Players guesting so all there alts can take advantage of the better loot in event chests.
2. More native players taking advantage of the better loot in event chests.

I can only think of two solutions to this problem.
1.lower the chances of a rare dropping from event chests.
2.Or, limit event chests (2 chests a day per boss, account wide)

So you want to nerf it back to its original blue/green only again? NO!
This can be fixed by cutting the time in between events, creating more opportunities for people to get the chests. And for the guesting, assuming it is a problem, only allow guesting via an invite, or someone on your friends list. Nerfs are not the answer, and are only going to ruin the game for a very large population. This game has been nerfed into the ground enough already!

the problem is it taking 6 seconds to cast my heal while fighting jormag. i’m not sure this is an over population issue or a culling issue or maybe a combo. But the IS a problem here. I find if i stand still at the side it goes away but if i run around and participate my computer goes nuts, i’m fairly sure this is because of culling as it’s trying to load new sets of characters constantly. Maybe i’m wrong but my computer is a beast and i didn’t have troubles before culling/guesting now i do.
