I promise this isn't a veiled whining thread, it's a serious question because I haven't really played through events before, at least not while keeping the level of logs I'm keeping now.
Anyway, I've noticed a very measurable swing in returns since FEN started. I usually play very conservatively (until I get frustrated and just say fuck it), and I keep careful logs. Since I came back to game I have had very steady and predictable returns. All of my hunts have been averaging low-mid 90's, and all of my mining has been mid 90's.
Immediately after event started, the same activities I'd been doing with the same gear dove at least 10-15% return for same amount cycled, same times of day, etc. Consistently. Not just a couple of bad runs, but literally all of my hunts are now averaging around 83% and mining has completely tanked.
Again, not bitching; every dime I deposit I assume is lost from the start. I'm just curious to hear from more experienced players on the matter.
Is this common for events? There has been a lot of really big hofs since the start - do you think MA increases the volatility during events, knowing that people will be cycling a lot more? Or is this a side effect of increased player activity?
