Thanks for the rewards it seems a bit weird to me that there's so much winners this year last year I didn't even see anything above ~good and I was there a LONG time... It only took me ~1h in there to get -1 from perfect not complaining but I think it should be harder next time if anything to make it more rewarding for the winners. As always thanks for your the time you took and for the descision you took about still rewarding the winners either way

Congrats to all who won! Esp wanted to give a shout out to two friends of mine who tied for first - Alea, my rl cuz and fellow gamerchick since the super nes days, and Cillik my fellow guildie and all around nice guy
Also, I'm new here but have been keeping up w/ the forums so I'm aware of the grief some of the staff have been getting - to all the +'s thanks for taking your personal time to admin the best uo shard I've played on (and I've played since it first came out way back when)

Awesome event and congratulations to the winners. Love these hunting ones. Thank you to the staff for organising it and the time they put into keeping the shard running so well.

I explained this in an earlier post in this thread: http://www.uoex.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=53369#p53369

NO no no you got me wrong. I'm not complaining that the reward was low,eds is always good no matther the amount and I do understand the point of not being able to give more don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that it's kinda not as fun that there's so much winners you see it's not as pleasing to get there could be a way around it like:

Here some suggestion:

- Lower the running time of PURE R.N.G based events
- Maybe include a certain time frame where the feather/perfect trophy drops if there's no one that gets it it's gone.
- Make the ends of the curves (max/min) MUCH MUCH lower rate drops
- Make only 1 of the higher ends drop.
- Make 1 of the monster hunted spawn but UBBER strong.. (unfair to the neebies).

Keep in mind that I'm just trying to give feedback/ trying to be constructive and on topic not in ANY WAY am I dissing the efforts put into the event by any mean I,m sorry if it came across this way.

I know you weren't complaining about the rewards. My point was that we were already aware there were likely to be issues with this incarnation of the event and that it would need to be tweaked before the ospreys were run again. Generally in the hunting event, there aren't any ties, or if so it's quite rare. This used a new scoring system that we were already unsure about when we released it, but we had to run it that way once to see how it would actually go in order to know what would need to be adjusted for the future.
