Did the event have some flaws, sure it did. But it got players out of comfort zones which is a huge win for CCP. It got people out there doing something that they never would have done before. It also brought all three systems of the game together, High, Low, and Null, it was more inclusive than other events that CCP has done in the past.
CCP needs to do more events like this one. They should be encourage to keep doing events. If you look at through the eyes of pvp, no one wins their first ship fight, unless they are really lucky. CCP while this wasn't the first, this was the largest one that CCP has done. Over 3000 people tried to be involved.
I want CCP to do better events to be sure, but saying that should stop doing them is the wrong attitude about it. The event time needs more time and feed back for these events and needs to do more in terms of planing for sure. I have every confidence that this will happen and future events will be better.
On a closing note Alaric Faelen has the best note on any of these threads. This guy gets it. He understands, and is right. if only one guy that did this event, says "Hey I want another shot at them, or I want to be in that alliance." Then this event is great success.
The only players that lost, were those that didn't participate. Doesn't matter whether people came out in kitchen sink high sec fleets, or shiny null sec doctrines. Just so long as they came out to play. CCP didn't create an ounce of content with their live event.....the players that undocked and came out to fight created the content. It's CCP that owes you a thanks. For the new PvP'ers and care bears that showed up- GF's to you. Don't let the people too scared to lose fake spaceships pee in your Cheerios. You came out, fought and died. That's all any of us did. Hopefully you had fun. Hopefully you realize that being blown up in a game is still fun. If just one care bear realizes that losing internet spaceships doesn't matter and moves out of high sec, then the live event succeeded.
