[Suggestion] Ways to facilitate event participation (particularly for more casual players)

The events we have on Royals are a special effort by the staff, and I believe everyone appreciates them, in their own way. That said, when an event comes out, there's always grumbling (and overt complaining). I'd like to present some ideas to make events more enjoyable, for both staff and players.

1. Reduce delays. For example, in boss killing events such as the 4th Anniversary, spawn the boss every 3 hours instead of every 6. For "turn-in" events such as the current Thanksgiving event, allow players to hand in items once every 3 hours instead of every 6. Many players simply can't log in on at set times; while many players are willing to set an alarm, interrupted sleep is lower quality sleep, and it would be kinder to the server population as individuals to reduce that temptation.
2. Increase event monster spawn and event drops. Ideally, to the extent that non bossing players can get the drops they need while going about their usual grind. If a higher level player has limited Royals time, having to grind at low level monsters to farm event drops is a source of frustration and disenchantment.
3. Place event NPCs in more towns. The idea of putting NPCs in the FM has been suggested. A good rule of thumb is that a player shouldn't have to spend time traveling on boats or buy a fast travel ticket to access any event NPC.
4. Increase the rate at which events give chairs. This is minor compared to 1-3, but would certainly increase satisfaction.

Of course, I realize that implementing any of these suggestions would make events very easy for players who do have a lot of Royals time, and possibly create a financial advantage for them (e.g. more Cake Boss times, more event scrolls). My suggestion for that would be to remove the financial motivation from event participation by making turn-in drops and rewards untradeable. I realize this will be a very unpopular suggestion, but I feel that events could be the perfect opportunity for Royallers to relax and take a break from the constant drive to make money on an already flooded server, even if it's imposed upon them.

I know that one or more replies to this thread will be in the spirit of "I easily complete events the way they are now" and "the events are there; take them or leave them." Please keep in mind that your experience isn't everyone else's, due to IRL differences and the luck factor. The suggestions are aimed at making events more enjoyable for more of the population.

Event NPCs at uncommon towns...

I've been buying this for 6 months...
I don't think the adms/gms are blind over this, but I didn't get any answer from them so far.
Any Yes or No would be cool.

 

This would be something that can be easily added. But sometimes things are rushed out and we forgot about it. Apologies, we will keep this in mind.

 

Thanks.
Remember about it the next week, when you're starting xMas events.
The NPC to enter xmas town could be in FM
