In my experience, Cathedral of Pain has been run (by us) such that participants are actually walking away with *more* reward than the effort put in. You are spending about 5-10 minutes worth of effort doing something that is now so easy. And, for that effort you can walk away with a pretty nifty week-long accolade-level buff. I've looked at the buff numbers too and they are on par with the buffs you'd get from acquiring badges like TF Commander, Freedom Phalanx Reserve medal, Atlas Medallion, and Portal Jockey. I used to just shrug them off until I realized that those little boosts were actually more useful than they appeared.
But, it is one of those things people may decide they don't want to get. Certainly, there are people who don't even bother getting all the accolade badges on each character.
Likewise, we normally have Hamidon Raids now down to a science so that it usually only takes about 30 minutes. Yes, you can get similar rewards from running STF/LRSF. But, to me, I enjoy running the large-group raids and having an extra opportunity to score either 53 merits or add another Hami-O to my collection. There are still some HO that are quite useful.
Again, I'm simply encouraging people to participate in these events when the opportunity presents itself. Whether you do is up to you. Yes, we do have some occasions when some idiots show up and cause problems or we take longer to get organized. But, over all, I'd say we have a good group of people who make COP and Hami enjoyable.
Oh, and just to put some perspective on it... I have people who threaten to eat me if I *don't* run enough events for them on the weekends!
Sorry, I just can't sit by and watch someone spew all this negative attitude when the majority of experiences I've had with these events has been nothing but positive. So, I encourage those who've had negative experiences to try running with us and experience some great stuff!

As lot of ppl know I play on both Justice, and Freedom and I have the pleasure of running it on both servers where we did complete them with in 10-15 min each time 1 thing drgemini forgot to mention about the rewards is that you get a choice of 3 things for the reward 1 is the merits, 2 u can get a common for it for your alpha IE the Pumb one, or 3 the alccolade power like for 7 days. But like he said it can be done with in 10-15 min I have done it like that on both Justice and Freedom.
Sorry to ask what is probably a well-known fact around the Freedom community, but I only transfered to this server recently, so...
Where do I go to get notified of those and other events in advance? My Channel-fu is of the Weak.
