Something that should be relaxing for all players turns into a competition when the event comes. People jet-packing and using speed shoes to rush from one chest to the next and some players lose out on the event in a server with 15+ players going for the event. It’s a nice event but a lot could be …

I’d say have treasure appear normally on the beach but at a much lower rate and then have the event happen as normal so that there’s loads available during it. I didn’t have too much trouble getting a fair bit on a full server last night and I …

I was about to suggest this exact thing! Like you said I’m a little disappointed the metal detector only works with a specific event and not something you can just casually use.
