Marquee events - A more fair system

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

correct, they want people to stay active. Yes you lose out if you are not regularly active. thats the reward people get for not taking breaks. If you agree with rewarding activity, then you can see why they shouldn't do what you are suggesting.

yes, missing an event means you are behind. yes that can put you back a month longer than someone who was there for the event. thats the point.

someone who logs in multiple times a day will be able to get all refreshes on stores and the free energy, someone who can't misses out. its the same concept, just on a larger timescale.
