Additional stat breakdown based on the stats provided in update:
Top 20 highest averaged (with rounding) 42,731 points each, which over 15 days, means an average of 2,849 points a day.
With user id's just reaching the 48,000's (based on intro forum), about 14.5% of site accounts participated in the event (not necessarily people, since some may have multiple accounts). When you consider how completing one task and submitting it in the event was enough to qualify as a participant, this likely reflects the max percent of accounts actively used; a user could have spent one day on Dappervolk, decided it wasn't for them, but would still be considered a participant if they submitted a task.
Now, for critique (all personal opinion):
First and foremost, please improve communication on this site with your user base; using offsite means, such as discord, does not count when a chunk of users do not ever go on discord. Dappervolk is still a new site and can't afford to develop negative reputations, such as uncommunicative staff, if it hopes to continue to grow and bring back inactive users.
Next time this type of event is held, please make the tasks known (even if not yet available) from the get-go so people can plan accordingly and not panic or begin unhealthy habits (such as minimal sleep) in fear of not making a certain tier. Maybe experiment further on the time lock versus daily amount for tasks, depending on how accessible you want tiers to be.
As someone who didn't make elite, I appreciate knowing that the summer items (wings in particular) will return next year along with new items. Since there are already monthly limited items, having event items return with new sets (and allowing choices so old players still can get something new) seems fair. However, reading the comments, I recognize how some players who went beyond to ensure they reach elite are unhappy about the items returning; as a result I wonder how different the elite percentage might have been had it been announced from the start that the items would return. I suspect a lot of the upset coming from some of those who made elite stems from the emotional turmoil they went through for the first week, and what life changes they may have had to make out of a now-or-never mindset for the items, rather than the actual idea of not limiting the items to this year alone.
Finally, thank you for the work you guys do. <3 Please continue to create a variety of events so that players of all play styles (from casual to hardcore) can find events they can partake in comfortably and enjoy.
