I'd like a routine wherein EA give us new major events 3 or 4 times per year and in between those major events have reruns of former events. If these "reruns" have no changes, then EA could not use the excuse of needing any time to tweak the programming. So the rerun event could be started right away.
(E.g., pretend that we have a big, new, 2019 summer event and its takedown date is July 8th. After that takedown, just immediately start the Stonecutter event as an exact replay of the original. It would require no programming time. For crying out loud, Just start the thing.
I realize that it would be betterto add some new bells and whistles, but this plan is not meant to do anything more than fill empty time. If we ask for new bells and whistles, we're just setting up a situation wherein we sit around and wait while they create new stuff, and don't know how long it will be, and frankly i think that if they add new stuff and call it a new version of the old event, we'd hear a truckload of complaints about how pathetic the upgrades are.
If those of us who played the event originally don't want to participate we don't need to. We'll just sit around exactly like we do now, between events. Or we can choose to play again just to relive the activitiex, knowing that we already have the prizes.
