Guild Wars 2

My general opinion of these events is pretty bad, although I really liked the concept at first…so here are some ideas to improve it:

-Mob loot. It doesnt have to be much, but let them drop something…running around for 30 minutes and killing champions usually gives a little more mob drop then nothing, which might explain why relatively few players like the event.

-Those blossoms, or badges. The idea is really nice, so is the stuff you can buy with them. But they drop so rarely.IT seems like you cant buy something really nice like a skin or a potion without doing the event again and again and again. Some more blossoms after the events might seriously help with its popularity.

- Rewards and Events. I do not understand how players are expected to participate in 20+ events to get 15 blossoms…I would prefer some Kind of map-wide system, similar to the one in the silverwastes, which still gives you your rewards depending on how much you do, but also gives blossoms for the amount of finished events a map has reached. Smaller groups for an event like this are better but will getan fewer events done and less blossoms, and that is something no one likes. Also, how about small rewards after each event, again, depending on how much a player does. I am aware that it is not possible to keep players from simply participating in each event for 3 seconds, but it might help.

- Final Event/ more different events. 30 minutes of running around in silverwastes are a lot less boring because events differ and you know that there are Bosses at the end. Final Events if you want to call them that. They give you extra loot but with not enough players participating, they will fail.

As you might have found out already while reading my other ideas, I really like the concept of the silverwastes. There are still people running around there, even after the living story has calmed down. There already was quite a nice system so why change it that much? Right now this event is mainly either running and playing friendly, which means you wont get more than 5 blossoms in 30 min, or players just go and tag every event without really doing much altogether.
I really liked the concept of this at first but after seeing the events myself….well,there is always room to improve, so please take the ideas and advice from all of us serious and think about it a little. You made a mistake, but you can change it, so try to.
