But if you win you get a hat. So ultimately you still are spending money on hats.

Virtual hats, at that.  

I hate the new que system.  

You should have bot-run games that run in instanced levels. The levels are instanced in order to accommodate the amount of players that queue. If 300 players queue for chance, 6 levels are instanced with 50 in each. There can be 5 winners, or when there are 10 left in each level, they can be moved to the same level. That way everybody that queues gets in. From a scripting standpoint, I know that this would be a pain in the ass to do.

The idea of a bunch of spawners being scattered around the world is actually pretty neat. However, spawning items randomly around the overworld isn't necessarily the easiest thing to do. More importantly, spawning them in accessible areas is very difficult, see Easter Eggs for examples of this flaw. If you need 64 players in an event, it may need to spawn quite a lot of "warpers" to ensure that enough are actually reliably accessible to the players. There's also the issue of players not knowing what they actually are(ie new players who didn't see the announcement) and picking them up anyways.

On the otherhand, the issue I see with players wanting the events system "fixed" is that the ones who tend to complain are the players who can't reliably get into events anymore. What exactly makes a player feel they are more deserving to enjoy an event than another player?

I was going under the impression that random item dropping was scripts that could be migrated from past events (like the easter egg hunt) so it would just be a matter of migrating that system and then changing the properties of picking them up.

With the issue you posted about new players not knowing what they are getting into- I can only speak for myself here, but as a new player that would be a pretty dope thing to find once I randomly pick up something off of the street. Sort of like the random events in old runescape. I think it would add a neat sense of exploration and adventure but I am sure there are some who would get irritated by this as well.

Agreed! Ahh Runescape.  

Hmm. So events are picked by luck/chances now? Ok. That's all I need to know and all I asked for. Btw, maybe add someway to increase chances of being pick for events for one day? Because it's been sooooo long since I even went into one. New players' chances of joining are greater you say? I play on a brand new noob account and never been into event.

I hate that. I miss having to find the warper.

Running around the gmap, looking for warpers really was fun and challenging. But Dusty does have a good point. It's very very unfair for new players who wants to play events. Like players with like 50 hours can't experience the fun of events until they used to and remember the whole gmap (which is like nearly impossible because I bet Graal have more than 500 .nw files.)
