You didn't hear any miner/crafter complaining about all the loot handed out to hunters? hmm, better go get those ears checked
as hunting is the primary activity in game by about 99% of the base, i think giving away such prizes to hunters is probably in MA's best interest. not much armor decay at a crafting terminal. not much decay in mining. given where MA makes it's scratch, it doesn't come as a great shock they seem to stack the deck at hunters.
this hunter received no POE, no land area, no armor set, no Mayhem Harness, no caramone part, no adj hedok 50, no guass rifle, no no no etc etc, so plz don't make me to be out some bad guy. i hunted my ass off, and for that i received some nice skill rates, that put me in the 90s in my profession. i'm happy to have had those events.
and don't get me wrong, i'm for events. the more the merrier. i'm happy MA is focusing on a mining event.
but anyhow, i guess my only rational point is... to give 3x skills across the board, then 2x skills across the board and to now follow that up with a specific 2x event for two professions seems unfair.
i know one hunter that started taming in 3x event and ended taming in 2x event after he unlocked scientist. nobody seemed to complain that nutrios pushed to near 300% due to that sorta activity.
i know one hunter that skilled coloring to a sick degree, during the skilling periods, giving a market to of all things... paint. nobody seemed to complain about that.
i see very little such benefits to this 2x event, given that ppl will not participate across the board in skilling. and well we all know just how quickly one gains skills in mining and crafting... so i'm not sure 2x even really amounts to much as deployed. but i am glad some miners and crafters seem happy about it.
happy ppl are good.
