Geesh, what the hell are you, people, thinking with. Keeping the looted stuff of an full-scale totally-epic combat event? And a promo item for participating...? Man, you get an epic event of epic proportions, and it still aint enough for you? Greedy bastards.
I assume the number of weapons is unlimited so that we don't fight bare hands
So, you just show up prior to the event to participate?
