All events available at all times
Like in the special event a few weeks ago... Make all events available at all times.

1) many people need stuff from events that are currently not available

2) people are bored by playing a single event for one week

3) doesn't make any sense anyways to just have 1-2 meaningful events up per week. The only idea behind this could be that they want to make sure that you'll have an easy time finding members for the new quest.
I'd like to see numbers for "players online in a normal" week and "players online during that special event with all events available". Probably like 80-90% of the players aren't active right now... Just waiting for AT Xeno, decoration events, AT Kulve and Iceborn. So all of the advantages you think you would get for matchmaking by just having a single event up at a time... You simply lose by a way higher amount of inactive people...

AT Zorah set finished? Check!
Farming investigations? Nope, so much less efficient than Lavasioth quest.
Soooo... Offline till next Friday.

Just give us all events so we can do the quests we need OR enjoy the most...

it's time limited to get people to come back from time to time, if the events were on at all times they wouldn't be events

you do realize you're still going to have to do tempered investigation if not AT events to even get hero stones to augment weapons right?

1) you could have different specials for timed events like unique meal buffs, higher drop chances for rare material and so on

2) you don't need to "get players back" through such events by artificially locking already existing content... Make all the content that's already developed available (or was already online) available and for timed special events you add some unique ideas instead of "wow we activate quests that are already there and we just took offline for no reason".
It's like WoW would would implement a new raid and after two weeks Blizzard takes the new raid offline again... Saying "don't be mad! You can play the cool new raid you would like to play right now in 8 weeks again!"

Nope.
Have the best weapons already augmented since in Monster Hunter Raw like 99% of the weapons are outclassed anyways by a single BIS raw weapon.
Farming would only be a thing if there would be build variety.

Dunno why they locked AT Elders and Extremoth behind a time wall. You have no incentive to do them after the 7th (depending on your ticket luck) or first (in Extremoth's case) run. But there are players who enjoy fighting them.
The only events that should rotate are the crown ones and HR XP ones, imo

THIS

I also enjoy some of this fights more than others. Also like some variety. Don't understand why I am forced into very specific fights when all the other fights already exist and they were just taken offline for no reason

The AT fights in the first place were just there to give extra depth to the game, a bit more of a challenge, and really...filler till iceborne comes out/g rank or whatever it may be called...frosty rank.
When you think of it as an extra challenge,then yea, it's reasonable. it's also a bit less load on your side when you're not loading multiple pages of quests, which annoys people.
events are special because they are that, events. "Let's make it like all others and have them up all the time". They're taken down so they have more worth, and to breed excitement. Is it necessary, maybe not. But, your annoyance proves it works.
They're supposed to be added fun, a cherry, special raids. Not everyday things. And there's reason behind it. If you're young/never played an mmo...or just can't see it, fine, but the events are fine as they are.

+ if you haven't noticed, leaving up events, that crash, would be be adding negative publicity. Remove it, fix it, and bring it back when it's fixed. (Granted, I assume most are from people using mods and not blaming them, or the steam server problem that's seemingly happening recently).

If you have chocolate every day, you'll get bored of it in a week, and ever come back. If you have it once every few days even..it still retains that it's a special treat.

Most of these events are just to make it easier to farm some parts/items, they're special. And this game is easy enough as is. I like the events, because simply put, unlike most games nowadays, and even with this one dumbed down and made easier than old MH games..

These events are something worth looking forward to, and a challenge.

Dude, if u had googled like 1 min you would know that there are times where ALL EVENTS are online. Last year 4 times - every season 1 time. Next time spring around 06.04-20.04. & summer 13.-27.07. (dates taken from last year)

Oh good. Another "Smaddi knows better than the devs" post.

Just what we didn't need.

The one thing we dont need are blind fanboys like you who worship devs without looking at them objectively and pointing out what they do wrong or handle in a bad way.

You think devs are God's? You think they wouldn't make mistakes? Just look at Destiny 2, Heroes Of The Storm, Octopath Traveler, Gwent and you have a few examples that flopped right from the start OR (even stranger) were popular and successful, then implemented very bad changes and became obsolete.
Devs from Hearthstone recently even asked the community directly why the community thinks that the game isn't so popular anymore.

So you're wrong again like in every thread you comment. And your rhetorical style is the same. Someone else brings up good arguments you can't say anything against. You feel offended but you don't have any arguments yourself. Then you start to flame.

So yes, we do need people like me. People that look at a game objectively and then point out the biggest flaws, come up with ideas for how to fix these flaws and varify these points with facts and arguments.
What we dont need at all are kids like you that can't debate with arguments, are triggered by suggestions and then start to flame. You're completely unessacary for this game and community.

"Dude" and what exactly is your argument?
My argument is that it's bad that all special events aren't available at all times. We have zero use from them being unavailable. ZERO. And your argument is "but they're all available more than once a year!".
If you would've googled "whataboutism" you wouldn't have commented.

You constantly imply that I'm some sort of fanboy who sees nothing wrong with anything the developers do.

You're quite incorrect there. I just feel no need to make an extensive argument to someone as blinded by their own ego as you.

Timed events work better for retaining a playerbase than just dumping all the content at once. This is a fact that capcom has long since figured out over fifteen years of these games.

Seriously, pull your head out of your ass for once. You might realize not everything is terrible if your head wasn't constantly embedded in manure.

1: yes, that's the point
2: good thing theres like, 5 a week
3: except, all 5 are meaningful, just not meaningful to you
According to Steam DB, MHW is in like the top 3 played games on Steam and has been since launch except for for 2 weeks, one which was when there was some giga sale for I think the Civ series, and one week before Kulve Taroth when there was a huge surge of connection problems;

There are 5 Season Events a year, when ALL events are available at once; The only reason why theyre spread out normally throughout the year, because if they were available all the time, they wouldnt be special; Past Monster Hunter had event quests available all the time, and guess what? Nobody played them past the first they were added because they just turned into regular ignored quests, cause there was no need to do them after you got the special reward

World's playerbase model, thanks to being on a live-updateable online group of systems, PS4, XBOX1, and Steam, their goal is to get players to play more frequently, more than have more time playing; thats why events and weekly challenges change weekly, thats why festivals are limited to only 5 times a year, thats why Kulve Taroth pops in and out; they know a majority of their playerbase doesnt have time to play the game 24/7, they have to work, so they set things up to be sprinkled in a bit at a time so players have a chance of getting everything they want at a leisurely pace
