Event question/concern

[Addah]

[Update:] I think event makers should receive a flat rate of gold per event they host, they can still participate in the event but shouldn't be able to claim the gold prize, if they win 1st place they should pass on the gold to 2nd place, etc.

This would remove the conflict of interest, and if you think there is none then you should continue reading this thread and the discussions in the comments.


[Original post:]
Curious why the last event on 4.0 was hosted when 90% of the server is sleeping, even moreso for the d2pk event that is still even later. Especially considering this event was "a big thank you" to dedicated players, the vast majority of which had no chance to participate.

With a total of 6 players and 2 GMs why were the gold prizes triple but the time was still inconvenient for the majority of players?

Sure not every event can be hosted during server-peak time, but why not make the effort to have as many players as possible join, especially if this event is supposed to be special?

Furthermore, how about posting the registration thread, even if it's locked, 12-24 hours before the event starts instead of 7 to help ensure more competition?
