And you can't blame ET's for hosting when it is right for them to host in their timezone or when they're available :)

A lot of times, Events include more than one chance for players, hence why they might have a rule such as "only answer 1 question" or "only post once every 24 hours". 3 hours is a LONG time and the ET could even forget causing more of a delay, there has never been a problem before.. not sure why it has to change now.
This is how events on the forum should be hosted in general though. Time-spaced for different timezones, if the host can not commit some time to post on the forum I question their duty as an event moderator in the first place.
What I noticed in recent forum events (I'm not sure where ya'll got this from but it wasn't me) was the hints, questions, whatever you wanna call em, ALL being posted at once. Consideration must be done for different timezones when it comes down to forum events. Posting 2-3 at a time and then waiting acouple of hours should not be a problem at all. And if people from the same timezone keep answering? That is fine- at least there is the satisfaction of knowing that the opportunity was given to other timezones and the blame can't be put on the host.
I also told a current ET this but I guess the word hasn't gotten around.
No lol. They could just create a new event another time in a different timezone if they wish to, I think it's totally up to them if they wanna close it or not, events ingame and on the forum have always been that if you're not around when it happens then you miss out, wait for next time.
It's just as unfair Imo that you want to stop the event for a duration and letting some people who just noticed it wait hours or miss it because they're not aware about the event until like 5 people post in it at the same time.
But saying that you question their roles because they don't want to open/close is dumb. Nowadays you should be happy if they even post forum events because I know that we sure never did except for like when Dave was like "i would like a vip forum event", and I'm pretty sure Stephan was the one to help out on that lol.
Adrianshd could have given the spoilers like 3 at a time giving a delay of 30 mins or any time so he can make the event longer.
Thank you.
And ya'll tripping thinking I mean ALL forum events, I just mean some lmao.
Examples of events that have been spaced out in consideration of timezones, even ones that have to do with going in-game:
1. 2. 3. If Zachary can do it, ya'll can too '-'4. F.Y.I when stephan posted these he did them in different times as well.
Some more but ya boys lazy and dont feel like looking anymore lol

exACTLY.
Also forum events are not always like this. I hosted them and made sure trials after us hosted atleast some considering the timezones of the other players.
Okaay, but you know, all I wanted to do is host a forum event for once but you all find a way to complain about anything lmao. Trying to help is one thing but going all like 'they ain't qualified enough' is another. Like for real now?
Anyway, I stated this but you all just pretended to not see it or what? lol.
If I /ever/ decide to post a forum event again, I'll keep in mind that I should make the spoilers so hard that it'll take days to solve so you all can be happy now. :)
Or maybe I'll do what I said in the quote you all decided to ignore.
