    its not all about paying attention , enemies cross in front of each other with diferent polaritys , they bunch up with diferent polaritys , and all of this while you are trying to hit that one polarity with an automatic gun at 20 or 30 meters away , and you loose the buff , not to talk about all those times you didnt even noticed the enemie just randomly changed polarity and you are now shooting marshmellows at him , its just not fun.

    I'm not sure why you insist on an automatic weapon for this event, but as has been mentioned before, the GE's are designed to encourage people to try different things. Just disable the event if you want to continue playing the way you always have. Or run a status build if you want to earn stars without engaging with the mechanic. Or use a rifle if you do. Plenty of options.

    "I am not sure, why are you still not playing that build that I ordered to you" - translated this for you, no need to thanks.

    I am playing rifle/pistol mostly and everything what he said is 100% truth. Monsters are constantly moving, trying to flank, hiding exactly when you aim on them etc etc etc etc etc

    It's strange for me, that I need to even say about that monsters behavior - are you playing normal mode only or what?

    Skill build was fine for me, when I was starter and didn't had better gear. Now it's boring.
    Status build even worse and barely viable for solo Heroic.

    Golden Bullet was awesome event, every other - crap for autists

    All other events should be replaced with Golden Bullet.

    Then switch off the event and move on with your life. I just find it amusing that people come up with all sorts of excuses not to engage with something different because it pushes them outside of their comfort zone.

    That would be boring. Different events encourage people to try different things. You don't want to? Then feel free to ignore them.

    I would like to if there was stars rewards at least for leveling.
    Why not? I'm playing while event active, why not reward me? It's not my fault, that their event designer did his job bad, at the end.

    Nothing boring, I'm trying different things every day.
    There is a difference: try on your own will, or being forced to play few pretty boring builds.

    i already disabled it ASAP , as soon as i got the last reward on the track, and i used a pyro eclipse to get through it .

    i know very well how to meet what they are looking for us to use in events , that is not my problem , in fact i dont even have a problem , just an opinion , and using something that completly negates the GE purpose just to overcome it and turning it off as soon as its done make this a bad GE, IMO , that is all.

    In other words you want extra rewards (stars) just for playing the game the same way you always do. LOL

    Welcome to the real world where different incentives exist for different behaviors. You wanting something for nothing isn't going to change that.

    I don't enjoy using rifles normally, but the GE has made them fun. I don't have a problem with dropping them once it's over. It's accomplished it's objective for me at least.

    You're not forced into anything, the event is entirely optional.

    You can't win the lottery without buying a ticket, so if you decide to not play the event for whatever reason, you can't claim it's prizes.

    Because we DON'T want to be told how to play FYI.

    Also, rifles suck!
