small event improvement suggestion

Hey, i am having a total blast so far Still got a small idea for improvement of foremost general happiness.


The /autogroup happiness:

Simply change the group class assignment at lvl 49-50 to generate autogroups of this type:1 speedclass/1 healertype/1 demezzerccer type, 2 dps types - and best group stealthers with other stealthers automatically, that's not only good for the other autogroups but especially for the stealthers, as fg stealthers do rly well adding fights.

After a given timer of waiting for filling the group (2 or 3 mins per slot) /groupclass assignment could go back to the old way to fill groups - or not, for both ways theres good arguments, i'd actually personally prefer to wait longer to have a more balanced group and i guess most people would too.

------------
That small fix will probably dramatically increase the happiness of /autogroupers, while it will not take away anything from discord pugs or premades, as their communication superiority will still let them roll over every unorganised random group. - That said some well played randoms can surely offer much better competition than now. - i played in both worlds in every event so far and always had one or two /autogroups that beat premades and discord pugs, but it only happens very rarely cause of the groupclass problem.
I played yesterday at 20-40k/h in /autogroup and at 58k/h for 9h in 3 different discord pugs. Not to speak of the fun.

As mentioned on Discord, I think this is a good idea, if it can be implemented. My experience as an infiltrator in this event was that solo in general worked better for me than autogrouping, apart straight out stealther groups.

For stealthers it would be better if you got autogrouped with other stealthers, and this would also alleviate some of the irritation that visi classes can have being grouped with stealthing classes.

This would not remove the advantage of premades, but it would level the playing field a little bit.

Another thing that came to my mind is the group assignment could preferably put melee dps into groups with shamy/bard/pally and put shamy/bard/pally into groups with melee dps preferably.

@stealth groups, i don't know if the stealth group stealth penalty is active in the event? If it is i suggest disabling it.

I was able to often see stealthers from quite far, as a visible, but might also be due to lack of +stealth on their random items.
