ask any of the players here. this is not a soul event. not even close to the specifications of the previous ones.
unfortunately, this is true. our prior events (other than hastur's soul box events) have been more enjoyable (to me at least), and i've come to develop a standard on what a soul event is.
i believe shaz has the right intentions but not the right knowledge of our event history, our previous one, the one which required the green gato coins was a much better experience, not because of drop rate, but because it wasn't possible to abuse as the previous one where repeating the mission map caused massive coins to drop.
these events were done quite a while ago, a little over year and 2 years respectively, before shaz's introduction in the game. so it is expected that he not know what our expectations are (us older players anyway). correct me if i'm wrong.
i would fill you in shaz, but the drop rates from what I remember weren't exactly released to us. however I can say this about the current drop rate of the silver coins; it wouldn't even be close even if you multiplied the current drop rate about 5x.
