Why were automated events removed?
They are so fun and since there is never staff on.. I dont see any reason to remove them, how about just doing one per week, not daily?

They were removed due to exploits/non-risk factors. Big scale events like the ones Dupre runs are manually done, so it'd be hard to automate them in an un-exloitable way. Case in point, there was once an event where a huge green dragon spawned in Covetous, and people started taming it. They had to change it on the fly to make it untameable. Things like that would have to be taken into account, and a lot of coding would be required. A lot of coding = a lot of time. Admin here are volunteers that provide a free service, and have jobs in real life. Some of them of very high importance (I know one of them is a firefighter in Texas, for example). Would be great to have them...am just as grateful for the shard without them.
