    While I can see that people would abuse the squad feature, I also think it is important to leave it in place due to there being an instance limit. I usually try to go with anyone in faction that is going so that I can minimize the amount of instances being opened, and thus allow others to have a chance. But even on my own, I don't find it a problem. Like someone previously stated, just remember that the first NPC gives you a reward of teleport stones and make use of them.

    As far as mobs go, if people actually have to clear this instance beforehand that is pretty sad. Personally I like the fun of racing through all of the mobs. xD But even on a slow character it is not difficult with holy path, especially if you bring one apoth pot to boost in between. The only annoying part is when the ranged ones won't group after you kill boss so that you can aoe them.... but even hitting them all one at a time I never managed to be too slow on a turn in.

    And now about access-ability of 99 rewards ...

    As you may be know at least at Raging Tide server Quick as Wind Event starting at same time as Auspicious Contest event.

    So, almost all able to win players ignore Auspicious Contest.

    How else I can explain my increase of total damage in Auspicious Contest (from 518k average to ... 779k) ?

    My result in Auspicious Contest (among Wizards).

    The title says it. Yup. We're supposed to be quick as the wind. Start the event at the same time...go to the respective fb19, and kill the boss...and be back before the others. Simple...except this last one. Now I don't normally run it this time of the day, but I'll say that this one was ridiculous. Less than three mins in, 9 people already reported back to the agent of thunder. 10 secs later is was 29. 10 more seconds it was 49, then 69, then after 5 mins of the event, the event is over with 99 people having turned in their prize.

    Did they run it fairly? No. But this is human nature. Things like this are going to happen. But lets be realistic. There are things that can be done to make this event more fair.

    *DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN SQUAD TO DO THIS. This should be solo mode only, so no squadding with your alt as they wait inside of an already cleared instance, both taking advantage of the speed required and of the instance limit...since tons of alts are clogging up the traffic.

    *Make it so that if you're engaged in this event, the halls are always full. Even if you just cleared it, the second you accept that event, every mob should reappear for you.

    Just some things that I feel could be implemented or addressed to make this event more accessible...and not let a few people taking advantage of the limit, ability to do this in squad, among other things mess up what is a very nice event.

    Feel free to add anything that you feel the need to.
    It's called holy Path and charger orbs.
    My slow as sheet wizzy made the top 49 today.... :D

    Thank you all for your replies. For those who recommended the usage of the teleport stones, I tried that, and that resolved the issue, and helped with speed, so I'm back in the top 99 for this event again. :D Using them helped greatly, and your replies are appreciated.

    Glad that I brought this to the forums. Your replies brought much improvement.

    Yup. Those help immensely. I've been using them both since I first started the event. ;) b:chuckleb:laugh

    I think some ppl are missing the point. OP is complaining about this:

    bringing 6 of your own characters into the dungeon to kill the boss
    one player claiming 6 of the LIMITED rewards

    I actually avoided telling several guild mates about the event or how to do it because they are alt-army people who would run 6 toons each of the 3x a day the event comes, and because they're rich enough to afford it, they summon their toons with squad signets to the npc, to the mirage stone, and to the NPC to hand it in.

    also there is a way that "clearing the dungeon" would make it faster, but I'm not gonna say how because others will catch on and do it too.

    i beg ur pardon for not reading any other posts than the initional one

    i dont see the problem here tbh, i mean, it makes no sense to let tons of alts wait in an already cleared instance when u didnt even accept the quest with them oO

    Sancutary has officially hit the point where you can't even complete event alone, without any lag, using all speed items and tele stones. lol

    Use Psys to summon.

    The cheating part is when people overload the instance count and nobody else can get in. There are only 99 prizes, yet a lot more instances are held just so other people can't enter.

    As I said already - this event is unbalanced.

    It is matter of time only to see how it is unbalanced for you.

    This event give unpredictable winners until moment, when some players start to use exploits.


    In any case ... today my character will get rank 7

    Now I try to get rank 7 (have 70k of reputation, so few weeks later I will have 100k).
    so I got 30k of reputation during 1 week (not using rewards from Quick as Wind and Auspicious Contest events).

    Alright so this event happens like 3 times in a day, at a random original starter city. (Plume, Lost, or Ether for those brain dead *******). I've only ran into not being able to do this event on multiple toons once. Utilize your Teleport Stones, the event gives them away for free even if you don't get the main prize from the first 99 turn ins. Alright so, how I do it, once the NPC spawns in a city, I telestone to that city and grab the quest if I'm not already in the city it started. If its in Plume I put my flyer on accelerate and fly into the fb19. If its Ether, tele to Timberfield and fly from there, Lost Tele to Wellspring Village and fly from there. Once inside, I exhaust all my speed options available to me, Holy paths, Elven Alacrity (on my archer) and Charger orbs. Having a fast regenerating genie helps as well. The only one that takes forever from my experience to get through is Untamed fb19, also the human fb 19 is rather large. But once you've killed the boss, telestone to North Arch and turn in your quest for the reward. Then go back to the original npc and collect your Hasty Man and telestones. Also no one said you can't do this in a group to preserve an instance. Ran into the problem where there were max number of instances reached during this event. So I squaded with some friends and it went smooth. Also remember this if you've done it once already in a city where the npc has spawned already you cannot do it again on that character in that city. This is when you log your alts, I log my sin and do a quick run.

    Do you realize that even if you leave your instance immediately after you kill the objective , you will be holding it for 10 more minutes?

    There is no cheating or malicious behavior in this event, just a bad design.

    People assume that because other players are smart enough to use advantages known to them and other players aren't that its cheating and unfair. Sorry I just tend to call them idiots.

    I think, that players, using different exploits of game can be banned sometime.

    Also it is not honest to scam in contests.

    It is my own opinion.
