Before I begin, I'd like to note that these suggestions are not for the design and functions of the Egg Hunt, but rather ways to ease and even avoid problems like the ones we've suffered in this years Egg Hunt in future endeavors.
Also, these suggestions don't only apply to the Egg Hunts alone, but any large scale event where these principles are applicable.
Thank you.
Here are my suggestions;
[1] Beta-Testers: I'd like to begin this point by saying Beta-Testers will NOT have the advantage of keeping whatever eggs they find; they will receive them in-game, but will not be awarded them.
The benefits of Beta-Testers are to help ROBLOX catch problems like the ones we've been struggling through as of recent, so they have enough time to fix them before the game is officially opened and released to the public. Sadly, this is not how ROBLOX has chosen to handle things this year.
Beta-Testers may receive an award for their assistance like in the past.
[2] Communication: The biggest problem that I have with this years Egg Hunt is that the Staff is saying absolutely nothing. The comments and forums are filled with people raging because they have no information on the state of the Egg Hunt. Now, while this behavior is immature, they do have some entitlement to it.
Just think; how much easier would this process have blown over if ROBLOX made a banner saying something among the lines of; "Egg Hunt will be re-opening soon; sorry for any and all inconveniences!"
I, for one, would be relieved. This tells me that A. The Egg Hunt isn't permanently closed, which is a rumor that is circulating at the moment, and B. That they are working on the problems to make the game a more enjoyable experience. I don't really know for certain, but I assume posting a banner takes only a couple of minutes. ROBLOX really hasn't done a great job of communicating with the community about the state of affairs of this year's Egg Hunt.
[3] Compensation: Yes, yes, I know Telamon's, now known as Shedletsky, famous quote, "No refunds." However, if all else fails, and we find ourselves in a similar state next year, I do believe that we are entitled to some form of repayment for the trouble. This doesn't necessarily have to be in the form of money or even an item. It could be something like pushing the closing date and putting a sale on certain Easter Items.
Think about it; many ROBLOXians have purchased Egg Hunt gear, and it doesn't work. That money adds up, especially the higher end gears. Also, the game has only been released to the public for a certain number of hours, despite the game existing for a number of days. That's an unfair ratio, in my opinion.

Those are all the suggestions I have at the moment. More may come in the future. Feel free to constructively criticize anything here, or add your own suggestions towards next years Easter Event.

Yes. Support. Completely.
Also, I hated this year's egg hunt. It was bland and boring, with you just running around, at least for the first area. I think that they should bring back the non-2013/14 egg hunts, like where the EGGS actually fall, and have "Egg Mode" where eggs fall in your place or "Boring Mode" where no eggs fall, and this would be toggle-able. I really liked some of the previous year's designs, such as the Egg of Gygax or whatever, where it had to roll a 20 in order to be collectible, or that color-switching egg where it would explode on red but not on blue. |

@Myself In like, a "I didn't find it really enjoyable" kind of way, not that I couldn't connect.
I wouldn't have corrected myself there if this wasn't roblox. |

I like how everyone likes 2013 now when they said it sucked back in 2013 and in 2012 they said it sucked should shut it down.
Aah the nostalgia. |
