**** are people doing shielding on a 25 day event?

I know it has been brought up in the main forum, but I really think this topic deserves it's own thread.
Am I missing something? Should I go buy myself a Stark Salary worth of HP so I can start shielding on Day 24 or a 25 day event?
Quick math here, lets assume you push 1x per day, and spend 300 HP for a 24 hour shield, thats 7500HP... Ok I guess you could pull that off with a 49.99 Asgard Treasure and still have 1K HP left over.
I have not seen this insane shield jumping since the Elite Tournaments where there was an actual valuable prize in a reasonable period of time.

You could buy 3 Heroic 10 packs for the HP they're gonna spend shielding it out.0

I don't know, maybe they go to bed feeling safer knowing they're shielded.0

Could just be a couple days worth of shields to get the top progression awards?0
-
the top 8 in my bracket are shielded , im hovering on 11th , theres no way i could bring myself to shield on a month long event0

There's always people out there that do things simply because they can.0

maybe they think they win nick fury from the event lol0

It's a public service. By shielding, they're inflating the pool of points we're all passing back and forth and making progression rewards easier to attain.0

As flawed creatures we humans can just about talk ourselves into anything. A fictional example:
(Day 1) Non-forum Rube #1372: ****, this tournament only lasts 23 more hours. I better shield.
(Day 2) Non-forum Rube #1372: ****, this tournament only lasts 22 more hours. Wait a minute, isn't this the same tournament as yesterday? Oh well, I better shield.
(Day 3) Non-forum Rube #1372: Something's fishy here. Aw, tinykitty! Those aren't hours its counting down, it's days! ****. Well, I've already spent 600 HP in shields. That HP will be wasted if I don't keep shielding. I really want those four heroic ten-packs - they must be worth a fortune!0 -

I thought it was all silly people shielding, but then I saw CH up there last night... shielded.
I'm confused now.0 -
Came to the forums today looking for this topic, did not disappoint. Moments like this are when I love you, Forums. *single tear drops onto keyboard*
But seriously, I do not get the shielding either. Unless maybe they were like 10 pts away from the final progression award and they or the SO went into labor or something...0 -
Maybe people don't realize that the season winners are going to get their names inscribed on the MPQ Champions trophy?0
-
Shielding for a progression award doesn't make sense, though, as you'll have another ~1000 pts on your absolute score three days later from the next PvP tournament. D3 is laughing all the way to the bank, I'm sure.0
