nice idea!Maybe the challenge points should be pro-rated by number of players?
I've been sick and tired playing for Gernichora to complete the challenge as well as see her as an opponent more often than usual, waiting for the challenge to be finally over, and now I have to keep playing her or lose on the XP bonus. This is not healthy for the game in my opinion when you're forced to stick to a single faction/leader/playstyle or lose rewards if you choose to have some variety. I wish these challenges were redesigned to promote variety rather than monotony.
Monsters is not popular for funny or cute, just for strong. Like the old Jade Druid in HS.
The event is boring because to begin with, it's not a competition, it's just seeing how monsters wins again.
My favorite leader is Franchesca, at least when I lose I am playing something I like. If I have to use Eldain, I am at a disadvantage because of the faction strength and also using something that I do not want to play. What do I win?
If the balance between factions was good I could play it and say, well, I'm supporting my favorite faction and fighting.
Currently it is just feed the bugs.
And for a reward BAN Gernichora for a week!
Francesca has to forfeit to Usurper almost every time.
