Feedback after first 2v2 event

As the name suggest, this is a thread for your 2v2 feedback after the first event this past weekend (double XP & coin from 2v2).

--------------------------------------- My feedback ---------------------------------------

1. Events/activities need to be announced in game - I'm certain the devs know this and are working on it, but it is still the number one item of feedback imo!
2. Coin bonuses aren't really very compatible with how coin pools work in Mythic i.e. the pool runs out even quicker so people then have less incentive to play on - which would be perfect on a weekday but not a weekend. Possibly the prize doubling put the pool depleting by the original amount would be better (making 600 stretch to a round 1,200) - or even standard prizes but with 2v2 matches not depleting the pool at all.
3. The 113 minion target for Halloween sounds a real stretch, even over 4 days (all weekdays mind); 2v2 matches (outside of Discord at least) can be lengthy & elusive. The elephant in the room is that people coordinating on Discord/elsewhere can game this really easily trading kills with orange decks, while others might set aside hours each night in their time-zone and still fall short... Even here on Reddit I'd be tempted to join any community effort to start farming kills, despite the corrosive impact such things tend to have on PvP long-term (e.g. "red resign" from my Guild Wars days).

It might be too late now to tweak anything this month anyway, but personally in future I'd prefer any 'farming' goals/chase goals (e.g. rare random brawl foe or gauntlet boss to beat for their portrait/sleeve) be in PvE while PvP keeps the more general bonuses - the spirit gimmick itself sounds like a blast!
