Way to many HC PVP events for there player base

"

(but really for LLD i think all leagues should be allowed to participate in all events)

+1 for challenge leagues(still not one for cross league SC and HC together) The fact that people that primarily play in the temp challenge leagues cannot compete,without taking ALLOT of time away from their normal league grind,is kinda weird. If the HUGE amount of people who are in the temp leagues could play,there would be so much more competition in events for the lower to medium-high brackets. Thus,making it MUCH more enjoyable and easier to get into for newer players IMO.

Not to mention que times for the 6v6 daily's (or any que for that matter) would be actually something you can achieve quickly and not just sit around until you get fed up and do something else ;/

speaking of cross league trading. Im fine with having some events that are completely cross leagues or just temp leagues cross leagues or perma leagues cross leagues. But You really can't compare the economy of SC an HC in any way so keeping the competitive events or at least most of them contained within the league is best.

The problem with HC economy is that shops from temp leagues get deleted on merge instead of transferred to HC trading and as a result you get the huge portion of the items rotting in remove only tabs never to be seen again. SC has a much more "alive" economy and a much larger access to pretty much everything.

To answer the OP's initial question on why there are 50/50 HC and SC events: The whole point has been discussed ad nauseam here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/616321. GGG originally wanted to implement cross-league events but after a lengthy discussion went with the wishes of the playerbase (well those who were posting there) to have league specific pvp.
Opening that box again is kinda moot. Like discussing yesterdays weather.

This is a thread from A YEAR AGO. Back then I barely started playing PoE and didnt give a flying fuck about PvP. Now with PvP being officially a thing stuff like that has to be revisited.

There is absolutely no reason for a HC/SC split in LLD. At least I don't see a valid point for it.

Yes it is old, but the main point of there being a huge disparity in item availability still stands. A little example: lvl 2 empower offered in SC: 99+; in HC: 3.

yes a very good point bada_bing. A lvl 2 empower on hc is worth 4-6exalts. On sc its worth 1 exalt.

It can be fun to have some non competitive pvp events cross leagued but in reality sc and hc pvp is like comparing apples and ....potatoes
