Hey guys. Thank you for speaking up. The /signed stuff is kind of unnecessary. I say that only so you know you don't have to get your whole fleet to mobilize on the forums just to be heard (not that it hurts the thread's profile...). We tend to look pretty hard for any feedback we can get on events, and have lots of CCP'ers who do so for us as well.

I'll keep it fairly simple: we try to maximize involvement, it's a goal of live events, and it appears this time we dropped the ball on involving a whole bunch of you. For that, we're sorry, and we'll be looking to improve in the future (based off the feedback we get, just like this). The documentation I have on the events in question show they lasted for at least an hour each time, so chances are you just missed the boat by a little bit. Completely unintentional at our end, and something that can happen with a shorter event.

Events run for only a certain duration because of many things; how much time the event runner has available (a minimum of an hour), the event has a specific time limit, or because the system is getting overpopulated and we are concerned about impacting performance.

Often in the busy state of running an event, we might not be able to notice that a fleet is forming, particularly if they don't announce it anywhere and rally off-grid or in another system. We'll do what we can to be more aware of gathering fleets, but I have to ask that you guys help us out here too and make it known if more people are inbound. Based on that information, we can often extend the event.

And we'll try run some longer "pew pew" events too.

Hey maybe it issnt CCP's fault. Given that the average live event fleet takes OVER 60 minutes to mobalise.

Live events are done in character, if the Slave is done with its mission and capsuleers still havent show up, why stay?

Stop b*tching and whinging and just get your sh*t together. Back a year ago FCORD fleets took about 30 minutes to mobalise. That time has more then doubled in the second itteration of live events.
