Instead of having drops mid-event, (Through chests, and what have you), let players earn Event Credit from certain things inside the event.
An example of these would be killing mobs/bosses, completing certain objectives during the event (Melting the rock/pillars, collecting all three plugs), etc.
Interesting idea, but it may be a bit difficult to balance the shop properly. I don't even know really what I'd put in there. ( Maybe work same way as chest? Just talk to npc, npc takes x amount of event credits, and it rolls the same way the chests do?)
Quote:Also, if the idea of collecting x number of things come up again, to shorten the amount of things we need to collect, have each thing worth 1 event point, and sell admission tickets as well worth like 10 points. (This would require all 6 people to collect 10 of the item, for a 1 time use of the event.) This would eliminate both the grindiness of collecting so many, and the need for a cooldown, since people would have to go back to collecting right after.
It would eliminate the need for a cooldown, but doing so also may also make it feel more 'grindy', and people were already complaining enough about it being like that. I can see people just not wanting to do it anymore, simply because they have to go through the hassel of collect stuff after failing(then going through the other 'tedious' stuff in the event). With a cooldown, they can just take a break, and go do something else while waiting for it,.
