I do enjoy the events for the most part, although I do miss planetaries where there was something going on around the the whole map allowing for everyone to go their separate ways and complete their own objectives. Of course most of the time it was a couple regiments going for the same objective but it felt more unique and gave fleet a bit more to do when giving orders. Right now it is almost always one big frontline pushing to a rayshield, breaching and pushing to the next about 4 or 5 times.
That being said I do acknowledge that map wide events are not realistic anymore with the current server performance, and that staff have no other choice than to section off the map to save performance. And one of the easiest ways to do this is using those rayshields.
