Weekend Event Top 100 Not A Good Idea

He does have a point, but it is a way to draw people into the game.

This does involve, no live, hot pockets, various energy drinks/coffee and lousy parents.

Would it have been better to add a second threshold for the mod reward? Instead of top 100 (which is a bit over-competitive for a several-thousand-large community), maybe give the mod to all players who get, say, 500 kills?

Several thousand? Try tens of thousands. The game saw over a million players when it first hit open Beta. Sure, they aren't all active and I'm sure many haven't played since. But add in casual players, new players, and the fact that it seems to have a large amount of players all over the world and we are looking at tens of thousands of potential players participating in this event. No, not all, or even many, will care to go for the top reward. But lets give a generous guess of 20000 contributing players who actually care about their skill and collection in this game. (please, tell me, politely, if this is a gross overestimate) this would mean that the top 100 players are less than .5% of the active event community.

Then why do they take sniper ammo....

With that logic, thunderbolt should apply to sniper rifles as well.
