Another thing to mention it's the few (or none) appearances of World Bosses while at Raid Events.
I ...
Thats not true. The WB spawns during raidevent just like it does during island events. The only issue is, that he usually dies within 5-10mins due to the dmgbuff of event advantage items. But thats another issue and not really related towards whether raid or island events are "better". ;)
@spike:
I can see it being a bit more difficult to find eventraids when you're highlvl, since you need only red/purple ones. But I know several people in that lvl area who have no issues killing enough raids to at least get the item. As for high ranks... yes, thats more tricky - but thats true for everyone. As a highlvl u have the advantage of recieving more EP / kill and most likely you will need to gold-spawn some. But how is that different to spending gold on hope refills for island events? In both cases u need a deep pocket to rank high.
Island events on the other hand have NO benefit for newbies, since they'll have trouble to even kill Tunam - not to mention farming Irkalla. Its disadvantageous doing islands as a midtier / kinda newish player, since u dont want the xp and need to spend hope for other things (feederXP, hellforge) - even if you just want to get the items. I'm not even talking about high ranks here... Thats a large portion of the playerbase that is effectivly excluded from doing the event.
Summa summarum:
Islands are slightly better than raidevents for highlvl players, but *much* worse for low/midtier players.
Raidevents are useful for ALL players, while being a bit more tricky for highlvls.
Ergo: Overall, raidevents are better the "The Players" (in general)
And if u read my initial post, I didn't propose to do raidevents only. I'm fine with alternating between raids and islands. I did critizice the decision of SH though, to have a series of 4(!) islands in a row (and who knows how many more to come) since it excludes an entire generation of players from doing meaningful events. And if they are excluded, thats detrimental to a healthy and active community and thus bad for the game and SH overall.
