As of Saturday morning (from 5pm Friday evening until 10am Saturday morning) there were over 2000 drops of the rewards given out.
Considering there were only 260 active bounty volunteers, I would say it is working just fine.
I understand you may not be happy because you think we made it "too hard" but the bounty players were told to NOT just give way their ships. Why? Because they are on a TEAM.
Also, this was not a promotional event, these are community driven events for the community, by the community. We just provide the framework and rewards. The volunteers were randomly selected from the large amount of players that applied, ALL levels of skill, some were Alpha testers, some were fairly brand new players with barely 2000 battles, some had W/Rs of 60% some the server average. They are no different than the normal community player base during peak times. They are just being asked to play A LOT more battles than they normally would.
Furthermore, MANY of the volunteer bounty players have mentioned that their W/Rs appear to be higher overall in these accounts. Many of them have been showing screen shots where they have done VERY well, pulling off krakens etc. I have even seen one Leprechaun division have 8 kills between the three of them....
