Mega-Lairs

What would you like to see in a Mega-Lair?

what do you mean? I think a great example of a mega lair is like the
Rift Lord.. the prizes were cool but not overpowering. It took
everybody alot of time to take it down.. I think rather than you
having to personally give out every item to each participant.. An NPC
who can dish out the rewards.. you speak to him.. he gives you a
choice and once you pick.. you are flagged and cant get multiple
items.. maybe have the npc in a secluded area that you can transport
the participants to...

However.. id also like to see artifacts return in some form. People
say its not fair for one person to get something that others cant get.

I'm inclined to agree on Artifact items. I don't like it when large
events occur, where large numbers of players take character damage and
only a few are rewarded. Everyone should get some sort of appropriate
reward. That doesn't mean something special cannot be awarded.

One of the things I struggle with atm are how to automate item
distribution. Measuring player participation can be difficult. Just
because they pop in and die 1 time, should they get same reward if
they then go and wait for the monster to be defeated to claim their
prize vs. those who return time and again to help out?

I agree.. there would be those who abuse a system of the sort.. Perhaps there could be some sort of scoring system.. dont know if thats possible.. Perhaps time spent within fighting range of the monster.. that way healers and damage dealers get equal opportunity.  List could be xxx.........24000 rounds.. Have to have some minimum amount of time  spent within range to be rewarded for participation.  Scale it for who participates more.. Just an idea

Or an event where killing a monster isnt the requirement
