    With this 3 vs 3 event drawing to a close, let review it. Again the developers done an outstanding job of introducing new contents for the game making it more enjoyable. I would like to say thank you to developers for their hard work. Back to the matter at hand. Firstly the responses from players about it has been negative due to a range of reasons:-
    1. It is a win based reward requirement where the number of requirement is lower than star based contribution but require the players to win therefore players on the losing side are not rewarded for their effort thus frustrating especially DMG based users who may put out very high damage but loss is a loss not counting toward overall reward. I can sympathy with this. This is just like last event where star contribution system for fixers was 'diluted' making it very hard to gain stars for loss matches compared against other boat even though fixer may have put a lot of heal.
    2. Matchmaking in which the MKs of ship can be a decisive in pairing against each other. Where there have been players complaining of other higher level users purposely using lower MK ship and equipping with high level and power weapons, thus result in unfair advantage against newer players.
    After thinking about the reason listed above. Is there is a way to mitigate the issue at hands. Here is my attempt suggesting possible solutions.
    1. After playing through two events, the result are the Star contribution system is geared toward DMG based boats (Shooters, Defenders, Enforcers and Speeders), whilst this event I feel is geared toward Fixers. thus the possible solutions is. Should there an option implemented in future event for the players to choose from on whether players can choose at the start of each event on whether they prefer to do Star based contribution system or Win based system? in order balance the event so it fair to all players in different boats. Then the question arise in which players may want to change the reward requirement midway through event. At this point the developer either can the option permanent for the duration of the event or implement penalties in doing so. i.e. players may have to pay a certain numbers of pearls to in order change the reward requirement and the player event progress is reset as the nature of each reward requirement is different.
    2. A system in which it look at past battles player to see the highest MK ship that the player has or played i.e. A player highest MK ship is a MK6 ship, then the threshold is set at MK6 in which the player cannot participate the event unless they have selected the ship that is on or above the threshold. Any ship below the threshold can be "grayed out" until it is either upgraded to MK6 or error message appears preventing player from entering event with ships below the threshold.
    Thank you for reading and what do you think of this?

    I am not that keen on solution 2
    I main a fixer and I find the experince of the events terrible in that class. You get use to team mates playing with a particular ability but with the gear score match making skill/ability is removed and you are usually matched with the illiterate knuckle draggers who charge and don’t know team play.
    As a result I jump to a different ship and have some fun normally a mk4 speeder.
    My reason is for disliking it is purely selfish. I don’t have the loadout/training required to play other ships effectively. Also forcing a costly upgrade to a boat I don’t plan on using as a main seems unfair. I can’t keep up with the epic and rare parts I need for upgrades let alone upgrade spare ships.
    This event I would of preferred stars as there was actually a perk I could use this time and I would of had a shot of the epic one and possibly the legendary one. Instead I have a lot of 1 Star defeats and only managed the rare.

    You don't have to upgrade a boat to use it in the event. That's a benefit to you as you may not need to equip as many items in lower MK boats.

    I know, that’s why I was saying I would rather not level it. Still waiting on some high impact weapons, rng likes giving me only mortars.
    I use my mk4 speeder as half a decent loadout for it. But nothing spectacular.

    I think its fine that events require different things and favour different boats. This week was defender week.

    The win requirement felt worse because it was much more harsh than the first week, but thats a tuning issue not necassarily the win requirement being the issue.
