Hello,
Out of more then 800k accounts on last public record made by MA, I haven't seen more then 150, maybe 200 avatars at events like this. I draw the conclusion that most ppl don't like shared loot events but the basic human greed will make a handful of them come.
Even if there's so much negative feed-back about these events, all the boss mobs were killed which means a success from MA's point of view Because it's not easy to come with a new concept, I bet they will continue with more events like these in future.
I am a regular grinder who develop my avatar and try to minimize my costs. This allows me to avoid depositing at a cost of having a certain play style. When I choose to come to these events it's because this is the only place where I feel I have a chance to loot a good UL item. This chance comes at a very expensive price. The outcome in 99% of the cases is that I loose all my hard earned ped in a day, which took probably more then a month to make.
Big Bulks were also part of this robot event. They were in game for at least 2 months and no Mod Rip or other UL item dropped on them, only a 66k ath at the end of the event. The boss mobs dropped 2 in first 2 mobs and one more a day later.
I miss the thrill of chasing an UL X5 on CP or grinding falx for an UL LR48, the anticipation that spawned over several months instead of a day or two. At the end of every day I was eager to log in the next one, hopping that maybe it will be the day when the UL item will drop and I will be the one getting it. I had a reason to skill, to invest in equipment and skills and become a better hunter.
Now if I want a chance to loot UL items, I am forced to wait for the next shared loot boss event, and pay a "ticket" for the chance to loot one. Instead of feeling like a hunter, developing my avatar and hopping to score the big jackpot, now I just have to be present to these periodic events, pay a "ticket" which allows me to raise my hand together with 50-100 other ppl and hope the jackpot MA drops will fall in my hand.
I hope things will change soon,
