[Official Event] Weekend Getaway

[Levenna]

The idea is to have people use this requirement as an opportunity to develop existing RP, or create new RP arcs.

I appreciate that, but what you may not realise is that the *vast* majority of people who participate in these events do not use established characters to do it, and often create brand new ones to do so. The people who do have established characters, such as OS&C, absolutely should be rewarded for it and it's great that they got their own tailored reward but I don't think it's fair on everyone else to impose mandatory, slightly janky low quality RP posts just for this purpose. People who want to RP around an event will do so, with or without it being mandatory.

If a person has an established character to run an event with, they already have that character that they are invested in and they'll do it. Everyone else playing in the event and earning gameplay rewards provide a vector for those people to get that interaction.

Your point about writing in event threads is exactly what *should* be rewarded, and was rewarded with contrails. That's fantastic. This is not what should be a mandatory blockade for rewards people have supposedly already earned through gameplay though.

The mandatory RP doesn't make these long term memories that you're talking about. If you actually talk to people about memorable events, more often than not it's in-game interactions that are memorable, not forum RP. It's a frustrating barrier that makes people less likely to involve themselves because of the forced extra step. I won't claim my engine reward because I just don't have any ideas for anything quality to write and so I don't want to do it. I don't think I'm an outlier.
