No we don't. We are taking a stand. The only people who accept change, are people who aren't willing to fight for what they think is right.
I found it necessary to "lash out," as I've been staying calm, but it's really bothering me how people agree to this raffling of sabers and other 100 ec items.
So, sorry in advance.
It isn't that we're mad about people having the same items as us- it's how they got it. We put dedication and effort into events, spend time on them each day. They took a base once, got lucky. The trophy aspect is now gone, and the usability of the item is long gone, back to when they nerfed it. Basically, now it's just a random melee that people have, regardless of accomplishments and dedication.
The 2 ways of getting ec items are unbalanced. Getting 125 ec for a double saber would take a lot of time and work, when you can simply win it in a stupid raffle. The raffle should be changed, it would be more fair if a player had to pay 5 ec to enter. All the player needs to do is join a basing gang, wait 1 minute, leave, and wait. Too many free ec items were given out. Don't make an excuse with the base taking stuff. It is free to enter. It is very unfair to people who were using their time to get event items by events. What is happening now is people calling event winners a lucky noobs who won their items in the raffle. This was the worst weekend ever in era. Nothing more to say here..

Yeah, it's not worth arguing anymore, since it's almost over. But this really has been one of the worst things I've ever seen on era- purely due to the fact of how unfair it all was.
Next time, I hope things aren't so unfair.
I agree with you guys. They never seem to give out free auction items, it's not fair to the event players.
So communism is fair? The complete lack of the people's input is fair? That makes sense. Let's not bring politics into this, though.
On a different note, as I said, it's a game. Not life. Was actually kinda hoping someone took the bait on that. Life isn't fair. Life is life. Graal is not life. You can make graal fair. You, however, can't make life fair. Why not make something that's capable of being fair, fair?
People take pride in MLGaming because they make money off of it. Not because they're proud that they can get a 50 kill-streak in CoD. That's more pathetic, than anything. "Hey, I can click keys and make twelve year olds yell at me." Yea, good luck getting into a real job with only that on your resume.
What they're doing is completely different from what you're doing, anyway. Events are basically mini-games. Correct me if I'm completely missing something, but, I don't see Super Mario Party live on Twitch.
I wasn't claiming to know everything, but thanks for throwing yourself under the bus with that one, too. Makes this a whole lot easier for me.
I never enjoyed looking at someone who's wasted countless hours of their life getting a virtual item. I wanted that item. Then I figured out how they got it. Then I figured out how pointless the item is, other than to look cool. That's when I decided: "All right, I'm gonna go play the game, and not waste my time, because I actually have **** to do."
I also wonder what you mean by "helped era grow and become a better game for many years". First off, many years means decades. And helping means actually giving input, and improving the server. Not 3-4 years of wasting your time doing events over and over, and telling random kids how much they suck at the game, as many people in similar company as you (the ones who you claim have actually helped the server, when really that was all snk, Jeni, and the rest of the staff), do.
I would also think it's hard to know the game best when you've spent half your time "mastering" the events, as you've claimed to have done. It doesn't take a genius to figure the game out, obviously. It's a game based off of a game that was based off of a Zelda game, with some extra content, current-generation players, and much, much more bull****ting around and not actually playing.
Oh, and I don't agree with giving free items. Nobody should get free items. But, it's stupid to make a big deal out of 20 people getting rare items.
Oh, and I'm not disagreeing that the raffle isn't a smart way to balance EC fairness. I don't think it should be happening at all. But, really, a 22 page thread about why it shouldn't happen? It should be a "This is A bad idea" and 30+ people agreeing.
I just dislike the logic of some people. Even If I completely agree with your resolution, if you have a ****ty reasoning, I'm gonna argue it.
Layerd gave me an mp7 by winning his events before it was auctioned.
Jeni gave me her brella for winning her event cause I was lucky it drop a rare before being auctioned.
