Unfortunately, I didn't join the community until after this event, but I've heard enough grumbling in this forum about what happened to know that my not being around was probably for the best. These same newbie trivia nights happen in other MMO's I've played and they're always someone's attempt at giving their twinked friends more valuables. It's like Bush and Haliburton after 9/11. That's an extreme comparison obviously, but the basic idea still holds true. In reality a true newbie isn't going to know the answers to 90% of the questions, which means that the people who really need the money and gear are at a disadvantage to the people with knowledge who don't need the money and gear.
