Even though I saw it coming this time and took full advantage, these "week in a day" pseudo-events are deeply unfair and should not be allowed to happen again. |

I'm not sure how an unannounced, single day event where players "in the know" with the ability to free up 10-15 hours for grinding can get a three week advantage could possibly be considered anything resembling "fair".
The last thing this game needs is more ways for the vets to pull ahead of the SP curve. |

No one cares about you. Let me repeat that NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU.
This was designed to make new players at a specific time between advertisement pushes happy so CCP can stay in business. This has nothing, nor should it have anything, to do with being fair.
It was a good choice by CCP...now be happy with the 7 million SP you already have and sit down.
That's pretty dark. What about Jesus and Buddah? (probably my ma, too)
Also, I'm not entirely sure we are talking about the same thing. I have absolutely no issues with the main triple XP event, and am currently enjoying the extra 1.8ish million SP I earned from the whole ordeal. It's these weird remainder days that CCP keeps (intentionally?) sneaking in that I have a problem with. Doesn't it make more sense to reset the SP cap and end the event at the same time? |

Fine. "Unannounced" was a poor linguistic choice. Though it's not like they ever said "BTW, the cap resets before the event ends, so if you cap out again between those times you can get another three weeks worth of SP."
Now before the accusations of 'butthurt because you missed it' start flying, let me add that I did not miss it. I am a wee bit butthurt over having to grind for 10 hours, but obviously I thought it was worth it. (Wouldn't you work a 24 hour shift at your job in a heartbeat if they were going to pay you three weeks wages and then give you the rest of the week off?)
I just wish, like you guys, that CCP would be completely straightforward with how their events are going to work. I realize that these remainder days are probably in their to accommodate primetime downtime plagued Australia, but I'm assuming that the Aussies are already adept at navigating the weekly cap. |
