When the PQ ended it showed what bags we had won. One gold and about 8 green bags. The green bags were all lost. You can also see in the screenshot that I was told I had not contributed enough.

Killing a player or even an NPC within the bounds of a keep (which earns you keep capture contribution, even if it never succeeds) might seriously fubar this type of event. So, for example, you could solo 99 enemy players in the Witching PQ then accidentally kill the last one in the keeps land which would earn you keep points and clear all your PQ points then if someone else came along and killed 1 player in the PQ they would finish the stage and be the only person with contribution. Well, I dont know obv. but it's a hypothesis. Another could be that the display was bugged and only the winner was seen. Did he win with a very high roll/lots of points? Although the screenie suggest he was the only contributor as he has a gold medal but that with a roll of over 800 would ruin anyone elses chances of the gold bag, even a silver medal with +350/+400 would have less than a 10% chance of beating that.

Also, the boss that spawns is way too easy. But all in all, I think its a fun event. It needs some work, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
