I think a lot of the trouble with the last two events has been caused by some players not knowing about events.
Not everyone stalks the Forum or Social Media and an in game announcement of events would help.
At the moment I am sat on a large throne waiting for another player. There is no way to communicate to passing ships about the event on Xbox other than shouting through the megaphone but that only works if the other player has headphones and game chat on.
