So here is the dilemma...we can only do so many events with ec yet players spam nonstop wanting more events or us to host something for them to do so we try to get creative. Personally, I give dolls and statues upon request so there is zero motivation for anyone to want to do a thing to earn them, so when I do non-traditional events I give a special unsold hat as a prize. I completely get the worshipping perception and agree that is really unnecessary but like anything else who are we to tell people how to feel about us good or bad? At the end of the day, just don't participate as we always will announce ahead of time what the prize is in these circumstances. I understand you don't like it but there is always a huge turnout indicating enough players actually appreciate the activity.
