Why is it we get 7 events on a Friday, and 6 events on a Tuesday, but only 2 events on a Sunday?

I'm sure I'm not alone in having more time to play at the weekend than during the week.

    And are the "12 days of Christmas" events going to be structured like the song in a similar manner?

    I just got matched up against a player who has 20 points in Training Grounds. Boredom is a thing, apparently.

    Midweek days should only be reserved for the non coalition PVE events and the daily events like TG, TotP, AX and now RT. Any other events should all be scheduled for the weekend. We can take two events even, ZvE can run alongside any other coalition event since it doesn't take much time even with the new 3 hour node charges. Same with AWR.

    Events like TS, NoP, ToA, FirF should be shortened to 24 hours again and scheduled on the weekend. Any weekend coalition event plus a 24 hours version of one of these should give people something to do in the game.

    Haha was the player ItsWhatever by any chance? Just nabbed BSZ and been going nuts on the TG, I’d say my motivations are evenly split between boredom and the high of testing out a fun new card. I always get slightly embarrassed when I think about the look on someone’s face when they go up against my stupid TG points 😋

    Y’all aren’t wrong, it’s definitely a downer to see just two little lone windows on the events page on a Saturday/Sunday, one of which I can only play a couple games in the next 8 hours.

    I can't remember the name, but are you using Tezz 1? If so, then it was you. Never got to see BSZ come out though.

    Congrats on getting the most busted card in the game! Enjoy abusing it while you can!

    Definitely agree, never understood the lack of content on Sundays... I may have had 48 in TG a month or two ago.

    I understand it is a problem in general, but this weekend in particular may be due to preparing for the new update or something.

    There has never been a lack of content on Sundays for Australians, we have a lack of content Friday Night and Weekend events end on Mondays nights.

    @Kinesia, I know we're married and all, but do we exist in the same house?? Sundays are usually boring. 
    Saturdays we have lots of content.                                                                                                                              Some Sundays I am so bored I farm runes with Story.  I will agree that we get the tail end of the events on Mondays, but the boredom is offset by running Across Ixalan.  The "weekday" daily events will robviously run Tuesday to Saturday here, so now our Sunday and Monday will be boring.

    Once again, just 2 events on a Sunday. The Training Grounds isn't the same format as the coalition event, so it's no good for training, and the coalition event has an 8hr respawn.
    Which is a monday for me. We have to consider these ridiculous time zone differences with schedule. Your boring sunday might be my busy monday. 

    EDIT: that said, i wouldnt care if there was any noncoalition event in that dead day. As long as it doesnt force me to play, i am okay.

    Do events with no leaderboard need to begin and end at the same time around the world?
    You lost me.

    But to answer, it could be nice although impossible without multiple servers?

     But either way, i was just highlighting another point of view that may have been easily missed. 

    And as i said, any noncoalition event with or without a leaderboard is fine.
