I play on a high pop server, one of the benefits I’ve come to expect from playing on a high pop server is that world events are always overflowing with people and content gets done!
Having these sharded, means I have a high chance to show up and no one is there; I should not be expected to do the event all by my lonesome; if the sharding is here to stay, then the reward system needs to change - like that of Grand Hunts - it’s easy enough to complete the objectives solo, and the reward is epic for the first one you complete each week on that character.
