Perhaps make it so players need to get a certain score for a prize and it would be so high that its impossible to get their alts to get the score too?

But thats not the point, if there is no fee for entry then they just need there alts to be online, they don't need to win, they just need to activate the system so the main account can win and get the rewards.

So someone has to have 4 extra alt accounts, (Don't know if the accounts from 3rd party websites still work?) and of the remaining players not a single one has to notice and play the minigame.
Now if you add a rule stating its not allowed to use multiple accounts to manipulate these minigames and enforce it, I dont think many would be willing to take the risk.
You could also up the players online to 25 or 30 to make it even less probable for someone to cheat.

^what he said. If it is announced in global a few times before it starts and maybe once or twice as it is going on it will not matter that someone has alt accs on in order to make the game mode happen since other players will join and make it too difficult for the person trying to boost.

I remember 2013, and Craftland was already on the downfall in terms of fun

Pig and Nick i got your point. what you think about this?

What if "white stuff" tickets were given out to anyone participating in the survival/quake game in the same way boss medals work. And only if 20 players or so take part in the game the first two get an additional random better price. So white tickets will have a similar role as the boss medals and you really need a lot of them in order to get other colored tickets... So giving out one for everyone will create an acvtive market for them.
The two requirements , minimum players online for event to start and if and only if x players take part better prizes are given out for the first two.
So why this? boss medals are given out to everyone. i could use all alt accounts and hit EDIT: The boss and get medals for all of each player. so here for the white tickets its the same. And these white tickets are enough as a prize. Its just to create a little incentive to play. And only if tons of people are perticipating you can win better prizes. So I think having the requirement of x players participating in order to unlock better prizes this will elimenate easy cheating wouldnt it?

EDIT: maybe make a requirement that you need a minimum of kills in order to get a white staff ticket. Same as the minimum damage you need to do in the arena. I dont say we need extra good prices. For me a white ticket for everyone participating and reaching a minimum of kills would be fine too.

It would elimenate the "easy" cheating :morons: I think events or community projects can also be fun without getting a special reward ;)

I agree. However, would you do the boss fight without getting something? So receiving a ticket for a game would be a little incentive to play for some players.

Just to make the idea clearer:

1. If minimum x players are online -> event starts randomly
2. A minimum amount of players need to participate in order to unlock any prizes for everyone
3. participating players killing a minimum of x players, receive a white ticket. (are people abusing the arena for boss medals with alt accounts? if so im not aware of it)

Having the requirements of minimum players participating in order to unlock white tickets as a prize and the minimum of kills you need to get are strong enough to make cheating pretty hard. Better prizes are not necessary. One big reason would be to decrease the incentive to trick the system.
