Hello Capsuleers,

I am writing this thread to highlight a major inconsistency regarding the Crimson Harvest event mechanics and to ask the community if anyone else is experiencing the same issue, as customer support has provided completely contradictory information.

**1. The Inconsistency in Event Site Spawns** Official responses from the GM Team (specifically GM Stark) explicitly state that **Dark Blood Gauntlets** and **Tetrimon Frontline Bases** are strictly exclusive to Blood Raider Low-sec space and Delve.

However, after running extensive exploration routes across Low-sec (including empty 30-to-70 jump runs with zero event sites), I repeatedly encountered Dark Blood event sites spawning in **Aset (Metropolis region)**—a system controlled by the Angel Cartel, completely outside of Blood Raider territory.

When I brought this discrepancy to Support with supporting screenshots, the response shifted to:_“It is the design intention of the EVE developers for those details of game mechanics to be discovered by capsuleers through trial and error…”_

**2. The Support Experience** Over the course of a single ticket, the response was passed around between **four different Game Masters** (GM Ophis, GM Stark, GM Gestral, GM Kami). Instead of addressing whether the geographic restriction mentioned by GM Stark was factually accurate or a bug:

- The initial response stated the sites are restricted to Blood Raider space/Delve.

- When presented with evidence of them spawning in Metropolis, the response claimed site locations are a “secret game mechanic to discover.”

- Subsequent responses repeatedly pasted generic boilerplates instructing me to submit an in-game bug report, completely ignoring the documented evidence and the direct conflict in their own statements.

**3. Questions for the Community & Devs:**

- Are event sites actually region-locked as originally claimed, or is the spawn distribution broken across Low-sec?

- Has anyone else found Dark Blood Gauntlets spawning deep in non-Blood Raider regions while massive stretches of Low-sec remain completely empty?

I have fully documented this with over 150 screenshots and route logs. I am posting this here so the community can assess the event’s actual behavior versus the official explanations provided.

Fly safe, A concerned Capsuleer
