As the thread title says, there need to be reasonable breaks between the 2nd arena, Battlegrounds and Redoga Drake.
I am on server 1, so I have used PDT times below for example.
As it is, the 2nd arena is at 7pm PDT, BG at 8PM PDT, and World Boss Redoga Drake at 9PM PDT.
However, many teams remain in Arena for the entire hour, which does not allow these players to enter Battlegrounds at the start of the announced 5 minute prep time. Then as soon as Battlegrounds ends, the last world boss of the day spawns about 5 minutes later.
Attending all three events in a row like this is extremely taxing. While I understand that the second arena was added so that those who work could participate when they get home, having Battlegrounds immediately after it is little ridiculous. Then add on another 20 minutes to fight the world boss... By the time a player has done all the events, they've practically been clicking their mouse and pressing keys on their keyboard for a good 2 1/2 hours in a row.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but no other server events are back to back to back like this. In all other cases there is at least an hour between those other server events.
So why does it make sense to stack these events and not others?
I propose 15-20 minute breaks between the events to allow the players' hands to rest and for them to possibly get up and stretch, get some food, answer nature's call, check on their crops, activate a new batch of potions, change their skill set for PvP/PvE, do a daily quest or two, etc.
This would leave the 2nd arena at 7pm PDT but start Battlegrounds at 8:15pm - 8:20pm PDT and the world boss at 9:30pm to 9:40pm PDT. These times do not interfere with any other server events, as the next event isn't until 2 1/2 hours after the end of world boss (Tree reset at Midnight).
