It doesn't have to be many -- I know that we've done it with only 2 on each banner (only 1 full team).

I'm still going to give this thing a pass though - meaning not go out of my way for it, my play time is too limited. Since the event's been live I've only seen it go down a total of three times and the map bugs I've been getting haven't been helping me feel excited about it, although I don't fault it for those, really. The funniest part of this I've seen: when the big bad turned up he apparently died awfully quickly (certainly before I knew what was going on or where) and someone broadcast "You griefing #&%@*s, stop killing him so quickly!" (no idea how tongue in cheek that was...)
I know it's not rocket surgery, but all the hoops to jump through for it (find an event taking place, rush to the zone, get a team going, direct them how to fight the banners [so is it spread out or not?], then rush to where the guy materializes in time to get the badge before he gets offed since it's locational) don't make it sound like fun.
I'm not crying DOOOOM or anything - please, enjoy yourselves! - just saying it's not what I'm after.
All these event game mechanics are so very interesting and add a wonderfully new layer of depth to the types of tasks you can do to complete an objective. Replacing your compass with dynamic and cool looking graphical slots! Out-of-doors destructible objects -- banner nodes! Little, non-destructible, pumpkin patches and glowing runes symbles and spawning "randomly" in a zone. Taken together I can imagine so many very interesting ways they could be combined into tasks. I know that these mechanics are already available in the PvP zones. I so very much wish they would incorporate these interesting game mechanics into everyday mission objectives. With so much new contant with each Issue I'm not sure
So there's my wish list soapbox for the day. hehe
