For some time I've been wondering why players are less likely to play in the banish events. Due to their not playing, I've been able to advance and get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on a more regular basis. It seems the reason may well be they are filling up their inventory with items they already have or cannot make (areas still closed to grind).

I'm glad you've put some thought into it Matt and hope the devs do take note.
