They do, though. While I was SA I don't recall ever being approached with "hey, I want to run xxxxxxxxx event at xxxxxxxx time, can you guys help". Of course it's not as simple as "I wan't to do this" but when nobody asks....
I doubt anyone even realizes they can ask for support with an event. Maybe there should be a system that makes this fact more well known and more approachable?
This is what made the server a bit more interesting, because it's mostly the same thing every day, all the time +1 Although I'd like more competitions that don't require any set skill (unlike building and survival game events), I don't know how they'd be implemented, so witnessing the events take place is enough for me.
Stay tuned for some big events announcement coming in about 5-6 days guys. (psst. I got a lot of support from staff team, SAs, Andrew, Jamie, etc about these plans. We have something pretty cool coming up. Yes... you can ask for support as @kukelekuuk00 said, as long as you have a good idea/reason)
Not sure exactly what you mean here - I have never seen staff not allow community members to host events on the server. I have seen many events hosted by members of our community. Be creative and host something in your town - if you build it, they will come
