Logibro can you you give us updates at the end of each weekend on who is in the lead in each category and how many kills they have?
Most of us expect that people will indeed boost their kill counts and do their best to hide this fact. As other have pointed out, this event does seem to target the same hardcore players that would also have hundreds of millions of isk to burn through. Perhaps a temporary reduction in proto weapon prices would help even the playing field?

I am not sure about the post weekend updates of top killers, I like the "blind gambling" that needs to happen. Did I kill enough to move on to the next weapon, or do I push extra hard next weekend.
We can see if something can be done.
Would still like to know a rough count to even stand a chance in a category.

You could have had other smaller rewards like "for very kill you get with X weapon, you will be rewarded 2 X weapon of the same tier" or something. There is no incentive for anyone else to participate except for the super-rich super-hardcore tiny tiny tiny tiny fraction of the community.
Seriously, how did you think its ok to have an event where 99.99% of the community will gain NOTHING? there should have been smaller rewards for other people. On the flip side, there are several events where the rewards are something the "super rich" don't care at all about. I use quotations because I am going to be able to easily fund a full prototype weekend and I don't consider myself super rich, plus I don't participate in PC and spend a lot of my time in FW that doesn't even pay ISK. So I don't really think the barrier to entry on this event is all that high, but back to my point: There are lots of events that do nothing for these "super rich" players, so why can't you throw them a bone and let them have an event designed for them? What's so wrong with that? Also these "super rich" players tend to be the people who have supported Dust through thick and thin and they are the ones most deserving to name a weapon. All the events prior to this not involving simply handing out items like the most recent included rewards the whole of the community could appreciate: namely, for the less wealthy community members protogear, and for everyone else, SP. This event gives neither of these things. It's nothing more than a sink for the vast majority of us, and an excuse to protostomp for the rest of us. I wouldn't have a problem with the event being more valuable for these wealthy members, but that no-one else benefits is the part I have a problem with.
It would be nice if they added a, every X kills you get with X weapon you will get X officer variant of that weapon. Would make it feel a bit more rewarding. Something like a 100:1 ratio would be fine since it is an officer weapon.
