Goodness, no. Every time we remove anything you people act like we just axed your grandmother.

Wait, that sounded suspiciously like a future release question...

You're right, it did!

Let me rephrase...do you agree that the collectors from THFM event have been useless for several months now?

(Bah! Too slow! :smileytongue:)

While I'm not an LET or LESIG member, and I'm by far no expert at the inner-workings of the LET, I have a few hints as to how to get LET members to show up at your player-run events:

You have to work around their schedule. Player-run events that take place during the week typically have had more success attracting LET characters than those on the weekends. Also, consider what time it is on the west coast...an event that takes place at 3PM on the west coast is much easier for the LET to attend than one that takes place at 9PM.
Make sure wherever you're hosting the event is easy to find. Providing only clues or asking for RSVP-only attendance makes it hard for the LET to know where your event is.
Stay in-character at all times.
Make it easy for the LET to determine which character should make an appearance. For example, an event run by EndlessVoid called for individual meetings for Zion, Machine, and Merovingian operatives, and a representative of each organization made an appearance. I assume they have a much harder time figuring out who to send when it's a mix of every organization in the same area.

Hope that helps somewhat. SMILEY

If by "iconics" you mean Matrix storyline characters, then just send us a couple million dollars earmarked for a dedicated Live Events Team, and you're golden.

Short of that, you can't ever count on it. The event's gotta fit into the storyline, of course; I guess that goes without saying. Or rather, it can't directly contradict the storyline.

Edit: Oh, and you gotta promise to post a bajillion screenshots for everybody. Or at least a couple.
