/em puts on his snooty dick-shaped hat.
So far, I'm seeing a lot of ideas from people on what they want to see in events, and besides the Murder Mystery thing, not a single person lifting a finger to actually do anything. As someone who's ostensibly an event planner somehow with the Grindstone, it's frustrating to read vague criticism that might be leveraged at the show I'm running by people who don't attend. Not showing up because you don't like the premise/theme/time/whatever is one thing, but going full hipster and saying you don't go because the Populars run it or attend is something entirely different.
/em removes the dick hat.
Running an event is a lot of work. People who are inexperienced in doing so can very quickly become overwhelmed, which torpedoes a gathering faster than mass-disconnects will. It's not surprising to see the easiest and "laziest" way out for folks not used to running something for fifty people at once.
There's an argument to be made that, if that's the case, maybe those people shouldn't be running events for fifty or more people. The issue is that there's no easier way for a nobody to make gil hand over fist, which was the precedent set. Making 12,000,000 gil an hour for doing some /y and collecting the money is a pretty sweet gig, and people know it can be done. Even if it was lightning in a bottle, the premise isn't going anywhere.
