honestly, I think we were partially wrong to disagree with cross server sage. Of course, the primary reason is because nobody really likes the way that cross server matsuri or cross server arena work, so why would sage be any better?
But Sage is much more flawed an event than Arena or Matsuri. The reason is that Sage only really rewards top 3. When you have a few whales or spenders on a server, they will automatically get the top 3. If they're in the same group, they probably wont fight each other at all except at the end. It gets very boring because most people know who they can beat and who they can't beat. I get top 1 on sage every week, it is boring though I appreciate the big rewards of 15 adv runes and 1 seal scroll.
if you know you can't get top 3 on a server, there's honestly no point except to queue for sage and go afk. Half of my server does it. We're a product of a merge between three servers - two of the servers had paying players and they all maxed refine and purification (for the most part). The other server had paying players but they did not max their refine and purification, instead they got ninjas. Most of the playing payers from the weak server found early they really could not place in sage without a lot of luck so they have either quit or afk during sage. I don't blame them, feel bad.
Unlike matsuri or GNW or nine tails, sage gives BIG rewards to the top 3 and meh rewards to everyone else (yes you can get the field win, but when you have ~10 per field, it gets predictable which field you will be on and which field will win, usually the strongest players field).
First, rewards honestly should be expanded to top 5 or top 8 on a field. Even seal fragments or 1-2 adv runes would be nice to keep people interested in Sage. Second, Oasis should at the least implement cross server sage for servers that can't get their own sage battlefield going as a trial run. Maybe thats not possible but why not? Cross Server sage for those servers would definitely be better than no sage. If it works out well, then it could be expanded to other servers...?
