Please get rid of Flash Events

Just got 5 mk5 furnaces from that event that would normally cost 250 shard credits for 3 and 600 guild currency for 2! I can't complain! I would get a full one but I refuse to waste anymore resources on that squad.

You must be mentally challenged because I never said anything bad about the event itself, my complaints are about how must time you have to complete it and the characters you have to use.

Let's see....
No. Don't have enough time?
Too bad. Players who do will benefit from this fact. That's how you reward the more "passionate" part of the community which spends more time on the game.

You mean the addicts right?

This is the stoopidest thing in gaming. Please never us them and just have "EVENTS!" What a wonderful concept, right? Just straight forward events that you do when you get time.

Also, get rid of this nonsense of using a predetermined character otherwise "Event Character". This is also really stoopid. I do not want to use your unmodded character!

LOL did you even read your own post or are you bipolar? You said it was the stoopidest thing in the game. How is that not saying anything bad about it? Must be trolling

Call them whatever you want. Too bad for you that you can't participate in the event because of schedule. You ain't the only one. People who want to play it, find the time. The rest miss the rewards.

I think it's simple. They reward players who spend more time playing the game. However these rewards are not huge enough to create s serious gap between those who play and who don't.

Yea, it's free.
So if you have any kind of life, you won't be able to snipe for those time windows. Free stuff but the restriction is "addicts only" most of the time.

Forcing event characters on us even if our characters are better is a pain. We're gearing up rosters - so we can use their weak event units?

Flash Events are also extremely intransparent. Like, which characters does it require for which tier? 4* characters - oh, you didn't need to gear them! 5x pheonix 5* - nah, Chopper doesn't count.
They just vanish on days when they're not running, you can't even look at the rewards or reqs anymore.

Rewards are so random again. They always add at least one useless gear piece so you can fail every time. This time we didn't even get proper fixed rewards on the first 3 tiers. I got 3 random **** mods without a single speed stat while reddit and guildies post their superb mod drops.

I got junk the first time beating them. I got useful gear pieces though on replays.

The flash event takes 2 minutes to complete, work in a bathroom break (if you're working)

Keep in mind that one of the reasons Flash Events use many short windows instead of one long one is so that players can earn the rewards more often if they really dedicate themselves to it. It's a way for players to obtain much-needed gear pieces at a faster rate by simply playing more rather than spending more. I fail to see how that is a bad thing under any circumstance.

I do realize that there are some people out there who have responsibilities that prevent them from being able to participate in every opening and that the OP is probably one of them. If you have any suggestions for a better approach that would maintain the theme of playing more instead of spending more but without inconveniencing another group of players, please share them.
