Let me start with a few caveats. I’ve never been a fan of gate-keeping or elitism. I want everyone to feel like their time is rewarded and I want the game to have content for every type of gamer—whether you’re a casual who plays to de-stress, an end-game monster, a Gambit main, or PvP “try hard.” With all that being said, I don’t think that this event was an elitist’s wet dream as some have suggested. This event ramped up rewards for everyone for merely participating and the [i]only[/i] items locked behind skill were a few minor cosmetics. Yes, there were a lot of bugs and the point system could certainly have been executed better but this was a good event for those with a competitive spirit. It’s okay to have those. It’s okay to tell the community, “there’s nothing wrong with rewarding high-skilled players once in a while.” No, not [i]everything[/i] should be a sweaty grind. Most of the game should be fun and welcoming for all most of the time. Conversely, you can’t make everything a pillow fight and you can’t always give in to everyone’s whining. It’s okay to tell us, “For just one event, get good! It’s just a damn helmet! You’ll get over it!” Sincerely, someone who predominantly plays casually and is NOT a “try hard.”
