The Halloween Mayhem event token items (Halloween Pumpkins) will be distributed in a way that is more balanced than was the case in the Feffox Mayhem event. To clarify, "The Halloween pumpkins have been distributed in relation to creature difficulty" means that the likelihood of looting event tokens is a direct function of the time and cost of killing each of the different event creatures and bosses.
For example, if Creature A has 100 HP and Creature B has 200 HP -indicating that it takes approximately twice as long to kill Creature B- Rotten Halloween Pumpkins (worth 1 event point) will be roughly twice as common in loots from Creature B than from Creature A.
The scaling used to calculate the relative loot frequencies of the event tokens includes several factors: creature health, threat level, damage distribution, regeneration and alpha damage.
Thus, assuming that a hunter can kill both Creature A and Creature B in a reasonable amount of time compared to other participants, the choice of which creature to hunt should not have a significant impact on the event outcome.
This system should result in participants being able to hunt in any of the instances while still having a proportionate chance of looting each of the various event tokens.
No see - this means that low level hunters (low dps) have no chance of winning because dps is king in this event. So it is an ubers only event.
