RE: Gold Ore Event - Jack_Henderson - 06-09-2015
That was damn cool fun
Went a little too far, but I was laughing so hard at that unexpected turn of event. I love these little events. Keep doing them!
Feedback: Perhaps 2h was a little short, though: mining took quite a while and we would have gladly helped more people out, but at some point it was clear we would just have to run to get the deadline. 3h if it is not a pure "npc cargo" hauling event? 4h? A little longer would not have been a problem, I guess. The route was long enough to make a 1-time big profit (80-100k), and just once.
Tnx! And... see you!

You have no idea how much I support this.

It was given for the benefit of you- the player. If we can think up roleplay around a hidden house with enough military might to crack down on all the houses in Sirius, I am sure you have the capabilities to think up an excuse for Zoners to need ore in Delta.
Go have fun and be glad such events exist.

I do love these events, but I'd love to give my opinion of them to make them slightly better and twist things a little.
As Garrett Jax is putting events at one corner of Sirius, it draws all types of pirates to one direct location, i.e Mollys vs IMG & BMM. So it gives IMG, a choice either mine and be shot or mine and act as a paramilitary against pirates whilst mining and hauling these goods. (now this is why I'd like to twist things)
Make two random events, one at different corners of the server going to different places, this will 1 stop everyone gathering in 1 place and 2 make it harder to be simply shot down by the ones in this community that thrive off PVP. 2milordie scenarios.
Take the first event created in the Sigmas to boost the GMG population and gather activity in Sigma (Which has boosted by 50% since these events started) Nobody was able to mine after trying to fight off all the pirates who come quite happily to stop GMG.
Just my 2cents, and it would make things interesting....
Edit: Oh and I'm not slaying these events because they're quite fun believe me.
Cheers,

But the point of these events is to get everyone in one place and on one path. For fun. That's the idea.
