I'm not saying that all events should be that way, there would still be room for the normal "kill eomon/warlocks/trox majestic/whatever, where your ubergear would very much come in handy, but for this kind of event - kill the most mobs in a period of time - the suggested idea sounds absolutely brilliant imo, and would for sure liven things up for the masses, and give them a chance to compete with the gods of EU on a more level playingfield.
Sorry, I have to disagree, and I am for sure no elitist, don't own mod or imp anything. For an event where the prizes are this big, there should be no major leveling of the playing field. The biggest prizes/events should reward the players who have invested a lot. It makes sense and is fair.

However I am not at all opposed to many other events having the playing field leveled more, and I take part in some of those because my chances are better.
