I’m just going to throw this in because my first impression with events was really bad. I won’t be actively participating in them unless they fix the pvp state. Which they could easily do. And I thought they were planning on doing it when they originally announced the event system about a month ago. Apparently I misunderstood bc I thought one of the goals of this event system was to freshen up pvp. Hard to do when you’re facing the same annoying opponent. There needs to be an incentive for changing your defense. And you should be putting out strong teams not cheesy one troop teams so you don’t have to face annoying Mantibore teams. The only way to get people to change their defense is by rewarding them for doing it. So here’s this - > [@The anti-meta is the new meta...and it's even more boring](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-anti-meta-is-the-new-meta-and-its-even-more-boring/16551/81): > > I have to say I’m a bit disappointed by this event system because I guess I was hoping that there would always be an event directly related to defense. Like put up a defense team that includes this week kingdom event and gain a reward or event point for every match / person that invades the defense and a bonus for winning. > > That stacked with the stat bonuses could make for a really interesting and dynamic pvp system in my opinion. I hope someone takes this into consideration. In short, a permanent defense event should be added --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/a-first-impression-about-events/16664)._
