    Okay, so you might be wondering why I am suggesting this, but hear me out! There is actually a sound argument to be made for boosting the exp and droprate for european primetime.

    Maintenance is pretty much always in european prime time. I have noticed this, because I myself am european, and maintenances always happen when I have time to play which sucks. And they almost always last the entire playtime schedule which also sucks. But I get it, games are hard to patch and so it requires a lot of time to complete a maintenance. TY devs for doing a great job, this is not a complaint about you :)

    Looking at the maintenances of this last year illustrates my point:

    Why not compensate the players that have an unfair disadvantage because of the timezone they happen to live in?
    This year we had 18 maintenance days where the playtime window for europeans are pretty much gone. Thats 18 days out of 365 days in a year.
    18 / 365 = 0.0493 or about 5% of all days in the year. It may even be more by the end of the year.
    Thats why my suggestion is that we give the players that are at an unfair advantage a boost to the exp and droprate in the timeinterval that they would normally play, 6 pm to 12 pm CET.

    Apart from the fact that it's most likely not possible to implement EXP boosts that automatically switch on and off when you log in (6 pm to 12 pm CET)
    I personally think this is a bit of a nitpick over a non issue and also doesn't take into account that some maintenances take a lot longer than the European prime time.

    If you know the exact end times of maintenances that may be helpfull to the discusion.
    If they show maintenances usually go about 12 hours, then that of course disproves my point, but I just dont remember them being that long.

    I think you guys are being a bit unfair calling this "non-issue" or "nitpicking"

    I mean, yes it's not a huge deal, but also I dont think he's being very unreasonable, and worth throwing some ideas here and there, no problem.

    That's said, thank you staff and kimmy I love you all.

    Ironically implementing such a thing would cost maintenance time too, on top of coding it to begin with (events even more delayed!)

    This also means Euro's can get the first area boss picks and timers more often. And with last patch they get an extra raffle due to new event releasing a couple hours before reset.

    It's not all negative.

    In my experience im usually asleep when maintenance ends, so I miss out on bosses and FM spots pretty hard, but others experience may vary.

    game is already too fast paced. Also, the idea is paradoxal- 18 days would be only accountable for someone who plays 24h/h what is impossible. And, if it were possible playing full time, the bonus wouldn't be justified

    Idk about limiting it to Europe, but the idea of scheduled Prime Time sounds pretty great just to get more people active at the same time

    GM buffs aren't announced ahead of time afaik, so they don't serve the same purpose.
