[Official Event] Even Chance

[Enko]

Lawfuls chose to come at us, so in my humble opinion, they've only themselves to look at for picking a losing fight with a substantially cruiser-heavier and I imagine more well-rounded force.

I do find this utterly insane, on the first day of this event a few people couldn't come, others didn't want to come because of the 4 day siege and then other people who did want to go saw a wall of 20+ Molly ships, knowing that they wouldn't have enough to face it and opted not to go at all, aside a few brave people who went in in a group of I believe 2 ships on the first day.

Since then the Molly side were complaining to no end how spoiled and bad the Bretonian Lawful playerbase is because overall mostly nobody showed up. After that, through encouragement from various people who wanted this event not to be a total flop and get to actually do things we made a substancial effort to get something going enough to go.

Despite that we had lawful logs swap sides to the Molly side because they couldn't play their favourite ships, and people still adding to the Molly side despite the unbalanced numbers, we pushed in anyway and tried. If it was not for the respawns added during the fight then it would've been over at the start, giving the event a rather short timespan where Bretonian ships just went in to basically die. The second fight didn't even use respawns, mind you, but wouldn't have happened in the first place if everyone got pasted and are quite unlikely to go for another round.

So if the answer is, the Lawful side did it to itself and nothing should've been done, then why bother at all? Would've ended up not trying, no event battle at all and then people continue to complain that Bretonian Lawfuls are not showing up. You can't have it both ways, and I really do not see why it was insane to not want the event to go that way.

What is it you actually want?

You don't want to have no fights.
You don't want to balance the sides.
You don't want to have event balancing to make up for both of the above.

Is all you want to destroy some ships effortlessly then call a victory?
