Problems I see in Events (Opinion Based)

UHCM
"I analyze and contemplate, so you don't have to!"
~Yes, it is a parody of many catchphrases, bite me.~

When I look at the events; I kinda see a pattern in them that was hardly strayed from. Correct me if I was wrong in seeing them.

1. Geared with 0-Tiers: In a sense, it gave the vibe that "It is you against the red dragon. Take this butterknife and a strawberry. Go get em!" for lower tiered people. There is still that LHLS (Low-High Level Syndrome) where people judged by tiers and they continued to do so even when there are signs screaming that tiers do not matter, skills do matter. I realized the anxiety for lower tiered people when I have Gunjin matched with JJ's Spitfire on this event. I felt downright outmatched in many ways around JJ and his character. Gunjin is outfitted with low-leveled Kidō, low-leveled skills (only one adept per sheet) and luck-based Zanpakutō that has not unlocked shikai yet. Spitfire uses natural gas that can turn into a flamethrowing power that can be spammed when at third-tier perhaps while he has two glocks and a sword. I don't want to have Gunjin decimated on the first battle of the event or even curbstomped, but it seems like a curbstomp being delayed as Gunjin was outpowered, outrunned, and outgunned in many ways; on top of that, JJ has far more experience in PH combat than I do while I was still more used to the theatrical combat style and a mixture of Tilt-and-Rush style. The two may not be 0-tiered as the topic was supposed to be about, but in the event, it seems open for curbstomps and easy grabs. I would suggest that we give a good look through our protocols and systems and ask around to if under the circumstances that every pieces of protocols and systems are going wrong, what would they see to be the contributing factor to its self-destruction, and remind them to abandon their positive side because if they start praising the systems and protocols like a Southern Dame, then we will continue to make more mistakes.

2. Thread Segregation: Time and time again, we have events where we have so many people participating that we need to have multiple threads. The bad thing about it is how it is opposing the social logic value. Sorry Aivee and Dai for tearing your event, but it shown to be one of the worst culprit of poorly executed multi-thread events; it defied the social logic that the teachers are meant to protect the students and it is one of the primary ideals shoved down teachers' throat everywhere. What Aivee's event and Dai's event in the same location did with it? They separated the threads so it is the students defending themselves from demons and the teachers are at the same spots, doing the same thing, but not defending the more active students like Shatari or Seishi perhaps? Imagine how Shadin felt that he learned that Seishi was left to defend herself from demons with other students while even UHCM is system-wise not allowed to help them while in-world-wise could be standing where Seishi would be. Logic? Shadin would be peeved at Marisol for running a school where the teachers are constantly segregated from the students whenever shit hits the fan. Steering off of that tangent, we look at the Malaysian Event. The only possible moment that these four threads could have learned about what is happening to either side was when Frost announced the rise of Kuro Suso and how it buffed up the bad guys. There are other things that are going on and yet people are not aware of it and probably discounted because it was systematically announced by Frost. May be a great idea because it controls the amount of waiting period between players, but in practice with people who have LONG ranged effects...we need to look through our protocols and systems a couple of times to find where it went wrong.

3. Repetitive Themes: We have arena fights, we have tournaments, we have wars. Perhaps people are not participating well because they thought they are doing the same thing over and over.

The Invasion of London, Italy and Egypt; "Bad guys are trying to take over these lands and it is up to the good guys to fight them and foil their plans!"
The Invasion of Malaysia; "Bad guys are trying to take over this land and it is up to the good guys to fight them and foil their plans!"
Dai's Demon Invasion of KHS; "Bad guys are trying to slaughter the school and it is up to the students and teachers to fight them and foil their plans!"
Aivee's Demon Invasion of KHS; "Bad guys are trying to slaughter the school and it is up to the students and teachers to fight them and foil their plans!"

See the pattern there? I may not be thorough with my research, but to me, it looks as repetitive as a raid in WoW. I am not kidding about how I see it as. We need to find a new flavor to add, I tried with the Minatumi Event by making a story about how Hoshiko and her new friends solve a problem in Minatumi City. I'm pretty sure that you guys tried to incorporate the events as a story plot, but just like me, we hit a wall and it is the same wall over and over and over again. How about we try to go back onto the drawing board and not come up with any event at all until we decided on what theme we would wanna try like, "Sneaking into Asmo's room and figure out for Sassy if Asmo is briefs or boxers." or "Taming the Bronco! A Dating Event where Shadin is tired of seeing Byakuya being so stuck up about the loss of his wife for over 400 years and wanted to put Byakuya through a dating game for lulz!"...NOT "Bad guys are coming to do something and it is up to the good guys to fight them and foil their plans!" We are more than capable of coming up with luck-based abilities, Imaginary Computation, the Iramasha Transformations, the Hierarchy of Demons and Danava, the Sugiura and many many more, yet we could not come up with any better than that formula? How about we leave combat out of it because it will cause too much grief and seems to always be forced.

I do respect the direction that Skyfall is going for, but I am not entirely sure how far it will go as a combat-based event.

4. Provocation of Competitive Players: We learned from many players here that some of them will get butthurt in more than one way when they lose. I was definitely butthurt when one player replied to my invitation to interact with Terith with a near fatal slash to the back which would have vegetablize my character for good if Moose's Neviah did not know how to repair the nervous system and performed surgery. JJ does not like it when his character loses. Combat seems to be highly concentrated with it and that is what caused the perceived grief.

5. Questionable Rewards: I have over 74 million yen now and when I look through the rewards, I felt cynical about them. Is it healthy for me to question the kind of rewards that are out there? If it is considered healthy that we should considered the rewards to be in question, then there is something wrong with the message and intention of the themes. I am not saying that we should abandon rewards, but perhaps have a more flexible rewarding system where it is unknown until you get it and when you do, it is great! Superdose of yen hardly seems to cut it anymore to me.
