OK just a simple suggestions that would probably increase user participation in events and even sooth some of the bad blood people get about "bad returns".
Personally, I'm getting kinda sick of most everything in this game always being winner take all. How about throwing in some prizes on these events where everyone has an equal chance regardless of skill level and how much money you've got to blow?
For example, merry mayhem - yeah you've got the top 15 prizes or whatever it is and that's great. But it would be nice if you also offered like 100 random prizes to be given out to random participants (as long as they earn/submit at least 1 point). It doesn't have to be anything crazy - 50 peds worth of universal ammo would be a decent prize I think. That way EVERYONE at least has a chance at a small prize with the value of a global.
I mean you're giving out probably close to 100,000 peds worth in prizes... would an extra 5000 peds for random prizes really break the bank here? That's 100 more people that can feel good about participating in an event even if they had no hope in hell of winning the "big" prizes.
Guy goes in and cycles 400 ped ammo... loses 100 peds. 75% return, feels kinda meh about it. Then randomly wins 50 peds in the random prize giveaway at the end of the event and suddenly the return (87.5%) doesn't seem so bad ya know?
Could also add in some puny tiers as well - give the noobies that can only do 50 ped hunting runs a shot at one of the 50 ped prizes. Might get more of them participating. 1,000 noobies each cycling 50 peds that they might not otherwise cycle... that's an extra 50k cycled. Could probably even pay for the entire random prize giveaway.
Anyways.... just a suggestion that I'm sure MA will never read.
