Just something I was thinking about earlier today...
First off, this has been the best event yet. My stats have gone up over 2 million and we are on cruise control killing lvl 100 boss nonstop with very little gold spend because of high participation. 2 more days of this and who knows where my stats will end up. The top teams have now separated themselves to a point where the gap between top10/25 and everyone else is something that will never go away. I think everyone expects the next raid boss to be near impossible to complete so this lvl100 farming is practically done with after this event outside of the SUPtards. With this exponential ramp up in stats from this event you have now conditioned the MW community to expect something similar in the future. We have an LTQ coming up next......are we supposed to drop vaults on this? Why would I spend the required money and gain the XP for such little return? On the following event, am I supposed to hammer through 75 bosses now just to get to a few units that will actually make my inventory?
Only way around this as I see it, is for you to jack up the stats even further on the LTQ or come out with a health regen boost of some sort. Otherwise I don't see people spending because they'll think the event is a rip off compared to the raid boss. I don't know I just think this event, as great as it is, has killed peoples interest in spending on future events outside of war. Seems like this is going to backfire, but hey that's just my opinion.
