I made a thread like this many months ago, the situation is same unfortunately.
There is constant DD almost every day.
They are only ever so popular because of the huge prices.
In a DD, like the one happening now for preparation there is currently someone doing /ad. An admin displaying that yellow footer message (that stays there forever), and constant "DD IS STARTING, GET FUEL NOW" in green, being said constantly - although it's not even starting, still at-least 20 minutes left.
I think there is far too many DD's and it shouldn't always be every day.
I am doing my own event and I must pay $500 every /ad, I make no profit from it although I am role-playing a Farmer - business role-play.
A rp event I do at-least only 2 times a year, Christmas and Easter time - Red County Farm hunting sessions. Then at a time when server is already busy and people flooding the chat constantly (not purposely maybe) a bunch of ads about DD COME NOW.
There is constant DD regardless of if its announced in forum or not.
