Keeping it permanently is a bad idea. It's the biggest event on the shard and making it rare is what gets people excited. Its like the newish doom system. At first it was huge n now its slow again.
What I'm suggesting is keeping it on at a much reduced drop rate and during events (possibly more often like you suggest every couple of months) turn the drop rate higher.I would def. Vote to have it more often like every few months
lol why not leave it i mean seriously its a great place for new players to camp and gather items think about it
Not to mention the number of new players that after getting geared up with a realative steady stream of tot artifacts, would possibly get into pvp. My experience is the only people who don't want this to happen are the ones who already got them when it was active for a long time.Paragon arties are crap and not worth crap. This shard seriously. Needs some. Improvement to keep. Players new players and such. Shard could. Be so much bigger if tots were open players would be able to get gear faster better gear could start spending and so much more without starting then quiting days later. More players more donations bugger shard. More. Fun and more. Improvements

Have you ever actually looked at the paragon artys?
Wrath of the dryad< the only way this could be better is if hci was hld or hit lighting was higher.
33% hit lighting 1 mod at 60%
15% hci 1 mod at 100%
50% mana leech 1 mod at 100%
40 di
100% poison damage 1 mod at 100%
this is on par with a weapon crafted with a heartwood kit but good luck actually rolling up these mods.
Titans leg bone > mod number is on par with a gold / aggy / verite hammer and intensity pretty close to it only way this could be better is if it had mana leech.
40 hit lighting 1 mod at 80%
40 hit lower def 1 mod at 80%
10 hci 1 mod at 66%
20 di
10 phys 1 mod at 66%
heart of the lion / violt
total of 55 resist + 15 dci on par with a 4 mod item sold for most non lrc suits or any suit not using a rbc.
Nox rangers xbow 6 mod heavy xbow stam leech and poison resist not the best mods but still makes it a 4 mod weapon on par with a heartwood kit lacking on 20 di.
sc no pen 2 mods
40% stam leech 1 mod at 80%
30 ssi 1 mod at 100%
di 20%
Poison resist 10% 1 mod at 66%
50% phys 50% poison 1 mod at 50%
Shield of invulnerability 5 mod shield effectively 4 mods tho so this is also a gold - val hammer item.
sc no pen 2 mods
15 dci 1 mod at 100%
rpd 1 mod at 66%
physical resist 8 would be on par with a crafted shield with dull copper
100% lower req 1 mod at 100%
The other minors have their places and uses these items are not perfect but are far form useless.
This may be the case but these are the people who sell them for 1-2 mil takes 1-2 days to farm that up if that as for myself before this last release on tots i owned 6 gtots and 3 ltots 1 rbc 1 horse lord 1 set of grips 1 tolk 1 set of sops and 1 mempo 2 flutes of renewal 1 daemon 1 undead.( This is 63 ltots worth of tots anyone should have been able to easly farmed this up in the week that the event took place, As you can see in my post here http://www.uogamers.com/community/index.php?threads/551144/#post-4048559 i had 64 ltots on day 2 of this event.) There will be a lot of people who farmed it all week so there should be no problem for a new player to farm up 1-2 mil gold and buy a gtot at most someone would want maybe 3 gtots for as suit so 6 mil, This is less than a week of farming 1. elf bods just from tailoring alone.
Tldr
Gtots where selling for 1-2 mil before event if someone is to lazy to farm that gold up i doubt they would stick around on the server anyways.
I am by no means advocating having it at the high drop rate that they have during events. Dial the drop rate back to the same percentage as doom. This will allow someone to bust their but to get enough minor artifacts to trade for a greater. I think it would be a great balance. The drop rate for tot is a multi level system that can be adjusted up, down or off. Set it at the lowest level and they will remain relatively valuable, at the same time giving someone who really wants them the option go out and work for them. Please think about that.I think the current system is fine, I believe tots right now are at the optimum price, not too expensive but not ridiculous cheap.
A casual new player will easily farm a few tots and other goodies in the special events that happen during a year, when tots are not available they can also be bought by a reasonable price, long gone are the days of rbc costing 40kk, nowdays you can find gtots at very cheap prices.
In my view having more items to trade is also good for the "economy's flow".
I have played in shards that put tots all year round and what happened was that they simply went the route of marties, they became worthless and players no longer traded them, after a while people no longered had interest in them and tokuno was deserted once again.
Forced??? Nothing forced you to go out and do it, other than the fact that if you wanted tot's you were forced to have to cram it all in a short period of time. Wouldn't it be much more pleasant to go do it at your leisure rather then over do it to annoyance... Just a thought...Keep ToT's the same.
This ToT did nothing but annoy me.
Forced me me to kill anything for ToT's.
I got bored after a couple of days.
ToT's forced ppl to play, I've had no enjoyment out of it. I doubled my stored TiT's.
Anyone fancy Torchlight 2?
