I kinda feel like this "event" should be level-locked

Lower levels kinda depend on traders for their attachments and weapons/gear. Me, I can go into a raid with nothing but some keys and come out with a full kit and having killed the boss, guards, and maybe a PMC or two. This event seems rushed and detrimental to the new players- you can't even let people do their quests in the current state.

People who are of a sufficient level (let's spitball here, maybe 30+?) should be the ones who are restricted to this event. I don't think new players who barely have their toes in the pool, who are unaware of reddit or who even follow mega streamers, will get anything out of it.

Since it's beta I'm fine with them testing new things out, but if things don't work i would consider adjusting the parameters.

* **edit (2:20 PM EST):** I'm opening this up to Nikita to improve upon this event, there is a lot of potential for this event. I've left you a twitter post with suggestions but sadly feel this could be a shot in the dark since I don't use twitter much. Currently as of this edit, there is over 75% of the community positively reacting to this opinion, with nearly 300 upvotes (I realize that by saying this, I may be tampering and people may -1 if they disagree with what I am about to say). * Some points of data you should be collecting are how many people are playing vs pre-event, what levels they are, what maps they are playing, if you can try to see which boxes are being opened to determine areas where people loot and maybe enhance or create obstacles around that (i.e. change spawns up if needed), **how many dailies were incompleted despite being ready or near-ready to turn in,** and you should be collecting feedback from the trusted people in the Sherpa program who regularly help players with new missions but are unable to perform this function now. I am but a small level 61 streamer near kappa with several thicc, weapons, and items cases full of gear, weapons, and ammo and even a max rep scav that I can salvage stuff like pistol grips if i need it, so gear is literally never an issue for me (I am not saying this to brag, just to illustrate that even though this event doesn't effect me as I've progressed and understand the game, I do still see it as detrimental) but the bulk of people I interact with and care to help with the game are in their low 10s and 20s, some in their 30s, and they need a lot of assistance with just going from point A to B sometimes, getting guns and figuring out the right ammo can be very difficult for these people. * By no means am I calling for an end to the event, you have your vision but the players and the community have their expectations. I do think you have a good idea but that some things could have been polished better. You may have even seen people resetting their accounts or buying new accounts, or even high level players interacting with and needing low level players for attachments if you played this right. * I was contemplating making this another post in this topic, as I sort of contradict my previous point here, but another thing I wanted to point out is that while some of the big streamers were calling for an event like this to add to the excitement, some of these kappa streamers asking for or allowing fully decked out viewer kits. Because of the free access to top-teir items and ammo (these same people were turbo farming daily for boxes full of meta ammo before the nerf) like this they are able to play at high levels through this event without being effected by it, and it gives off the impression that you can outsmart developers around an inconvenient event so long as you have people feeding you free items. If we had some lower tier things still available (to all), we might not be seeing as much of this, but even if the lower level players had access still, you may have been seeing them get the chance to bring in the non-meta but functional attachments and have the opportunity to interact with higher level players in a more organic way and having a better experience playing the game. * edit 2:52 PM If this event is indeed planned regardless of the number of likes on your tweet, and you have some things you are tweaking while the traders are down, remember you are still in beta. We are seeing treatment of this game like it has already been released- yes this is your game, you can shut it down tomorrow if you want or sell it off to Tencent or Pearl Abyss, or even Nintendo if you wanted, but the community should have disclosure on some of the changes you are doing and direction you are going, rather than being left in the dark and observed for negative/positive reactions.
