Everyone starts out even with or without pre-staging - its open to us all to pre-stage. We all start out able to pre-stage, or we all start out not able to. Its just different, not more or less fair to anyone.

I can't really see any benefit to Gree in preventing pre-staging. The only reason I can think of is that, as they said, the system wasn't designed for that and there is a risk of pre-staged targets being reset and that causes a huge wave of complaint.

Exactly. Why cause a huge wave of complaints? Just don't release them until the event starts.

Or even 2 hours after the event starts

Better yet, release the NPCs after the event is over. Lol.

If they allow prestaging, they just make us kill more times of the NPC. If they don't, they will still make you spend gold and energy refills.

But remember this, Gree. You are lucky that people are still voicing their opinions... When they stop, this is when you need to be really worried. So better start listening before we stop talking.

1. We have never explicitly supported "pre-staging" targets prior to an event.
2. We will never intentionally wipe progress on targets prior to an event.
3. There has been no policy change on this issue of any sort.
4. Resetting hits on targets during an event should never happen. If this does happen, please send us a ticket immediately.

Additionally, a friendly reminder to please refrain from attacking or insulting others.

It did happen during the last LTQ and I sent in a ticket # 2235053 and the speedy response 24 hours later told me that pre staging is not "designed into the game" and that no compensation would be offered. The ticket was then closed.
The prestaging was done during the event not prior to the event and it was taken away when the server "reset"
Would appreciate consitency on the part of Gree and a favorable resolution of my ticket.

Gree,
It is simple. Either allow press taking or lower the points and release when the event starts. Or be prepared to see many of your paying customers walk away eventually. There are WAY MORE light to medium gold purchasers than heavy. Not everyone can dish out hundreds of dollars every month. Your 40% off gold sales probably proves my point. The trick is too 100,000 or more spending moderate money ($60 a month) than say 10,000 spending hundreds. Wakeup and smell the coffee and then treat us as valued customers.

Trust me, they will never get 100,000 people to spend $60/month. That would be mean every single top 1700 faction would be at max capacity and spending that much. There is nothing at levels that low worth that. So then you start weighting things with more money spent towards the higher levels and less at the lower ones, and guess what? You end up right where we are today.

Who has enough energy to prestage? There are enough ltqs in each cycle to drain the energy of Galactus.
