Marquee events - A more fair system
Currently marquee events show up, last for a week and give out some decent mods (for low levels) and 50 shards of a toon. This is a nice bonus, but I feel it also grants an unfair advantage for older...

I agree that they should reward activity, but something like marquee should be available to everyone once they've been released. I agree with rewarding activity, but the way marquee events work actually punish players who weren't playing for any period.
For instance, my account was inactive for awhile, and I missed DNihilus release. Now farming DN from a single hard mode means I avg 1-3 a day at best. Meaning that missing the 50 shards from marquee put me a month or more behind anyone else...
Go on vacation for a week and miss a marquee (they dont announce) and if the toon is meta changing (DN/Sion) you're just out of luck for months and then when they become farmable you're a month behind or more.
I feel the free mods are enough of an activity reward but putting new players or returning players even farther behind the curve is just punishing
