The top 50 get something special, yeah? So surely when 50 people are really far in the lead everyone else are going to see that they'll most likely never catch up and just give up on the whole thing all together.
I was already miles behind and I was here for the very beginning & I'm already kinda bummed and don't really have the motivation to try and catch up, because it just doesn't seem likely. Just saying, I don't think the excitement for the attacking will last too long once the top 50 are well established. >.<

Unique and creative idea, though. xD

Totally just my opinion though, and while you're free to disagree, don't go getting butthurt about it please. D=

I do agree with you completely, and keeping up with attacking for the whole event is going to be tiresome and boring. It will end up discouraging a lot of people, i'm already discouraged since this is going to be a huge gold sink. Plus some of us will never even get the items for the 50 top attackers, so most people won't want to compete when there is so much gold involved. I'm still contemplating whether i really want to bother at all. It would have been better to maybe have an item granting system, for example giving a reward once you hit 1000, 2500, 5000 attacks etc. That would have been a smarter way to go, at least everyone would have gotten a chance, but i feel like the current method is secluding people and only the people who are active 24/7 will get a full ei set which is unfair.

A granting method that would give you items upon reaching certain numbers would have been a much fairer option. I do appreciate Emy lowering the number of times you get frozen and miss, though - just saying for anyone out there who thinks I'm being unappreciative. And it's nice that the 50 people who work the hardest get something special - I'm not against it, I just believe that everyone else will give up relatively quickly.
I know that if I try and compete for the top places I will be obsessing and missing out on sleep. Which is why I, personally, have given up so soon. It's not worth the hassle. xD

I think that everyone who devotes time into an event should get rewarded, i guess i just never liked the idea of only a select few get items cause they were online more. Some people simply can't get online that often, i have school, work, personal stuff to worry about too so i can't devote every second to this site. And knowing that most of us will miss out kinda sucks >.<

I think fifty people is a bit too low, we had something similar to this in the Back to School event, and it was top fifty as well. So I don't understand why an event now is top fifty as well since the site has grown much larger since that event ouo Idk, I think it should be top.. something else xD I can understand why wanting to do a top special prize that way people are more eager to be active and take part of the event with the idea of a special price in the end ouo;

I'm glad people agree. I was a little afraid there would be a choir of 'you're so ungrateful Scarling!'

I like the idea..but something exclusive..yeah I don't support that. >0> At all.

I understand that, and it is nice for the 50 most active eventers to get something a little special. Personally, I'm not disagreeing with it, I'm just saying that I believe people not within the top 50 will lose interest very quickly, as they have nothing more to gain from attacking. It's nice for those top 50, I'm happy for them, but I have no more interest in the attacking part of the event now, as I will never get up to the top. It's just a bit redundant for those who cannot make it to the top.

The idea itself is nice and the top 50 do deserve that special item.

I think the comment Belinda made wasn't relevant. This isn't really about selling/buying event items, it's about gaining them through events. Events aren't supposed to be exclusive in my opinion, i think everyone who is active deserves all the items to be honest, i'm not saying we shouldn't work for it but it shouldn't be awarded to only a certain amount of people. I don't think i will bother with the attacking either, it's a major turn off in my honest opinion.

I can't even begin to express my anger. I don't think there's a word strong enough without me getting in trouble. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ANGRY WITH ERNYA SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. I would do anything for Ernya if asked and if I could actually do it. Event items not popular? I've been wearing my green summer sneakers since I got them a couple of days ago. Btw, I missed that event yet here I am, wearing my sneakers cause they're super green. EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO SELL THEM BACK TO THE SHOPS. You're assuming that I/otherusers don't like your event items. Just because I don't hoard 034850345803485340034340340 sets of event items doesn't mean I </3 the items. This srsly makes me rethink donating ever again. You'd be perfectly okay handing out the items if they were in the donation shop, I'm sure. :|

Members currently at the top, will of course, eventually be pushed out of that spot, butthatdoesntmakethistypeofsystemfair.

As Scarling just said, "The idea itself is nice and the top 50 do deserve that special item." If it's an already existing item, then I'm perfectly okay with it, but telling us that we have to fight with each other for online time to try and obtain a new item is not okay and will never be okay regardless of a rotating system.

That's how I feel about the 1 Year Crown. I overpaid tremendously for it. I may not use it on every single avatar, but I love it to bits.
I think the previously mentioned landmark type system (1000 attacks for X item) would be better.
