So those values were from a small but still reasonable sample of squadron members. Squadron members are likely more committed on average than the average player, so they’re likely above the mean. But the curves you can drive allow us to map average relative position (which then tells you the fraction of the current player base that can achieve a given average score per game).
The thing with this is, as you said, you can’t really go by the average player, because the average player might have no interest in the event… A lot of players aren’t even trying to go for this, or would want to, so counting them in doesn’t really add to the analysis.
What I think you can do is look at the hours required and make an estimate of what level of player the event is aimed at. My gut feel is if you’re not pulling down a 65-70 relative position rating already (so about a 1500 score depending on mode, in air and ground) this event simply isn’t meant for you. Which is only about an sixth to an eighth of the total player base for the mode. The rest are basically just food for this. Which offends a lot of people’s sense of fairness… Mine included.
It’s not just selfishness that makes some of us wish the scores were lower. It’s just some of us remember more keenly when we weren’t top-sixth players yet and the effort it took to change that and think the game we care about is hurting its long term prospects by making some challenges and the commitment levels required just too high for the majority or for the newcomer to really enjoy. These new events are exclusively aimed at the keeners and the whales, with all the low tier vehicles now only in the Battle pass system. And we do think for the completist this new higher level of play, extended over a full year and more, will eventually lead to burnout and dissatisfaction even among the most diehard.
I won’t miss the old events, their time was done. But there’s something just ick about Gaijin ramping up the burnout factor just to turnaround and sell burnout relief pills in the form of 999 GE stars every two days. Long term I personally think they’ll gradually lose players over this that they could have kept playing at lower commitment levels.
I am a sample size of one, but here’s the results of someone that is over 50 years old, has a wife, kids and household responsibilities, does not receive content creator bonuses, and has about an hour, maybe 2 if I’m lucky, to play per day.
I rarely break into the top 2/3rds of a game. I do marginally well at Rank III and IV in mostly Air AB and I’m 30/70 in Rank V, and maybe 15/85 in Rank VI depending on what BR I get into. Occasionally I will dabble in Air RB for a battle task or booster but then I am quickly reminded why I don’t belong in Air RB. I’m glad there are people that can succeed in their tasks in a minimum amount of time but I am not one of those players.
I’m over 60, ditched the wife and the kids have grown up and gone away, but still work 9-5 and run my own house.
Playing Air RB an hour or 2 at T V-VI I can get 16k-ish in a day pushing it… but I can’t be bothered pushing it 2 days in a row let along however long this would take!
People complained about the old system, but at least you could get 1 vehicle plus the cheap one fairly easy in that - be careful what you complain about 'cos Gaijin will only replace it with something WORSE!
What about those disadvantaged by Gaijin by distance? I mean, latency is one of the key issues why I personally can’t improve beyond what mediocrity latency can offer.

this event easy…, u only need play wt 2 hr every day for 1 mark, or mybe u guys complain because wanna sell it ? im prefer this event… player use bot cant join this event and spam vehicle in trade market
I’m retired and generally play this game 4 hours a day and the closest I have achieved to completing ANY mark was just under 25%. Where the HELL do you get this “easy” bull$h!+?!?!?!
I have a full time job, a kid, have about 4h of free time a day and I finished the Jaguar 750k coupon in 8 hours total -_-
You are doing something wrong mate.
Nope. Between 110-120k score after modifiers per 60-70 minutes. That’s roughly 750 score in 8 hours give or take. And no, I won’t tell you how.
PS: It’s not against the rules and it’s not abuse.
