new PvP idea for events

The idea is partially inspired by a post by Moose.

Everyone is always wanting more rewards for PvP participation and not just "EB noobs" as they say. Moose had the idea to have to current special event item, like the current feather hunt, drop from hitting another player just like gold does. I like this idea in its principle but there are a couple things I'd like to see tweaked. Instead of it just being a free for all with every player, why not have players sign up to participate specifically for it, similar to wars. This won't keep players from doing EBs, it will simply add a new way to obtain the items. It also doesn't keep them from hitting non-participants, but they won't get the items by doing so. However, by participating, it will limit what participating players they can hit based off their size. I'll explain more on that in a minute. This will keep the PvP only people happy that they have a way to participate in the event. This will also keep the EB only people happy that they can't lose their items by getting hit. They still might be butthurt from being hit but at least they can't whine about losing items. As I mentioned earlier, by having players sign up, you can create different groups based off the players' size. You can have 4-5 groups of different size ranges. 0-900k, 1 mil-3.9 mil, 4-7.9, 8mil-11.9 mil, and 12 mil-BC. For example a player with 9 mil stats won't be able to hit anyone weaker than 8 mil stats. That will prevent a BC player from totally crushing players that, while they may not be a weak noob, are otherwise defenseless against them. This should help keep things fair. I'll leave it up to the devs to decide on the specific size ranges. To top it all off, the players that sign up for this PvP event will have their own rewards for collecting the items, AS WELL AS the items for everyone doing EBs only. So if you manage collect enough to make the highest reward section, not only would you get the rewards that everyone else gets, but you'd get a special reward(s) as well. Perhaps just double the non-equipment rewards, or maybe just a really awesome piece or set or equipment. Or, perhaps both. I think would make for an interesting shake up to the next event. Let me know you're thoughts and/or other tweaks.
