I wonder if you were to add 1 ally if it would throw things off. I suggest that because I never bothered with allies since previously your help requests were independent of your ally list, so I thought why bother. During this event, I had around 5-7 allies and I was getting next to no help request during the whole event. I was at 14xx when I woke up this morning and I basically had the game on next to me for the next 12 hours and I moved up about 100 places because I was getting so little help requests. There were times when I only got a few for a whole hour! And to add insult to injury, the majority of my help requests were bosses well below what I normally get in previous events at that rank. Mostly, low level slugs that were just out of sniping range for me. I didn't even see many swoops... it was a pretty frustrating day. Then to cap things off, I took a nap and woke up at 90 minutes before the event was to end and my help requests were never full! Most of the time I was looking at 2 or 3 in my queue and just kept wishing I could get request for anything! In the 4 previous events I've played the last few hours were always constant floods of help requests and usually level 6's. I was still getting mostly slugs in this event... needless to say, it was quite stressful as I was on the cusp of 1500, but luckily a few level 6's came through and with 22 minutes to go, I'm in good shape now... sigh!
