I can clearly understand why Makoto got so disappointed.
This event was to raise funds to the drop party, why any1 will bother about get 300k of a dragon axe? In first place events should be fun, not a money maker. If people think "im too weak" why not try bring 3 itens and a full inventory with lobbies? This could help but they arent even trying. The motivation to be present in events should be fun, not money, its just a game. If people can come to drop parties they should be able to help raise funds for it. Im not saying all had to be with DK group but must part yes. Theres no excuse to have 10 people meeting to raise funds and 70 coming to the party, most of people could be there, just wasnt interested.
Last event was the snowball fight and i remember just a few people was present. People just come to drop parties?
Maybe im wrong, in true i hope to be wrong and yesterday was just a bad day and time to most of the rw community.

Im with Mysticallity, only option left is KQ but we need a lot of people to do this an efficient way.

Well heres my view on the way the whole thing went down.

First of all, only about 8 or 9 people showed up, I was PMing people and telling them to get to the Seers Party hall, and either they showed up late or didn't come, and then some regular people we didn't know showed up (Dilbert invite one of them) and she came.

Then theres was when we teled to WaterBirth, we didn't even stop outside to do checks or anything, we just ran right into the dungeon which is a bad thing to do, and it's reckless, because there are monsters down there that were hitting 15's and 16's on some people.

Then once we got to the door to get down more, it was locked and we had rangers shoot the backs of the opposite doors, so then of course, the brave ones (me included) ran to the other doors to get them open for the RWers, then we declined.

I found myself running around aimlessly (this being my first time) with T-Ball, and Dilbert's invited friend who I think I remember is from The Others? Could be wrong. But as I was saying, we were running and running not getting anywhere, then we ran into Makoto, who was killing off monsters to get them cleared out, but they respawn anyway, so I just kept on going, and then after a while I just said whatever, and let them kill me.

As for donations I myself have already donated around 3 mil worth of goodies, and I will be dropping more, but yeah, if you fellow RWers feel nice enough to donate some unused stuff for the good of the RW Drop Party, it would be awesome.

As for the DK trip, it's a good example of why we could use a good Events Staff, who knows how to run a group of people, and we don't have to rely on one person to do most of the work for us.

I'm thinking Mysticallities idea is better, KQ may be done to death, but it's fun, and it drops Dragon Chains, so I can't wait for an event like that, and if there is an Event Staff hired soon, SCHEDULE ONE , I think KQ is much more fun.

If there is a KQ trip scheduled sometime in the future, please make sure your over 90+ combat, and we are going to need a few Verac wearing people.

Yep.

An event staff is simply not needed if you can't even get enough members to participate in a simple Daganoth King trip..

Mystically pretty much said it all. I agree with all his points and also think a KQ trip would be sucessfull and a great event to do next time. It's fast and simple and has the possibility to pay off greatly. I have been there a lot myself and could help first timers to make it run more smooth.

Btw Makoto, if you feel that it is your fault in any way that made the DK trip a failure, it was not. In no way was it your fault. The lateness was due to unprepared members and the coordination was tough for first time dkers. I was one of the ones that went the wrong way but quickly figurd out where to go. You tried helping everyone and did a good job at it.

Only thing I could suggest was slowing down through the tunnels and I and many others, had no idea it was like that. Also, writing out what items each class should bring would have saved some time. Almost everybody did not have the needed supplies or enough supplies to continue dking.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the low turnouts for fundraising events are from lack of motivation and reward. Of course, dedicated members will/should have no problem giving 90% of the item to rw for drop parties. I think the newer and less dedicated members are not with that idea. Most people like going to events that they gain from right then and there. Maybe a post showing how important these fund raising events are and what could happen without them. Maybe get some peoples oppinions purely on events and what they think would be the best way to fundraise.

I think an events team is a great idea. It will give Makoto (as he is usually the one organizing events) less work to do in which he deserves. Makoto does an immense amount of work here at rw and an events team can lighten that load up a bit. With an events team it will be far easier to host more events in which a lot of people here at rw want and more events does attract more members.

Hunter forum would be quite useful as well.

I also think the introduction of the RW Graphics Staff team would be useful aswell, it would get sigs to people a lot faster.
