If one of the large ones wanted me, I'd probably break down and join it at this point, but I don't particularly feel like paying my way in, and I like being to take events off if I feel like it, so it's not fair of me to expect that. I also resent the whole HP sink and naked cashgrab aspects of it, where within about a week it went from "Hey, these are a fun thing you can do" to "they're mandatory for several of the prizes" to "a 20 person alliance is necessary for the decent prizes" and I have no illusions it's going to stop there. If they had spread it out more, it might not bug me as much, but they clearly introduced this as a monetization stream and I liked the game more before it was there. And I'm ornery. 2) Eh, maybe, but, once I thought about it a little, I realized even top 20 on one of them isn't going to happen, because I'm at work when the PVE ends, and top 20 is impossible unless I'm out that day (and there are lines I won't cross for this game). I might put a fourth yellow on it if I get one, but I'm not going out of my way to get one.

It is a little tedious at times having to participate in all the events but the team aspect is good though, less like we're playing alone (although that might be a good or bad thing depending on the person).

Most of the rounds, the only one of my characters who had any damage coming out of it was rags (who usually was down like 5k if the enemy ares got an ability off). Hell, for a while I was leaving ares at half health to use his boosted red

Maybe this was just D3's way of saying, "I'll give the forums something to complain about! Take that, and that, and THAT!"
