Good day,
Alas for all that lament or not this event, I remained utterly unmolested. What be the point of experiencing all this game has to offer if mobs will not have the decency to trample all over me? Must I be ignored so?? Rue you, you unruly mobs!
Ignored,
Arden

I didn't get mobbed either for some reason, despite being thoroughly active in-game and moderately active on the forums.
When does the Day end?

When does the Day end? It's been over for several hours. And my two non-Agitator accounts didn't get mobbed either, despite even asking for it here on the forums!
I don't think this "experiment" was a success, my personal impression was rather that a lot of players explicitly ignored the Day of Agitation.

Personally, I found the Day of Agitation incredibly anticlimactic. It was nice to see what dealing with a mob was like though.

Anticlimatic doesn't begin to describe it for me, especially after reading this thread and getting the impression it was going to be the coming of the antichrist or something.

I believe you are right about people staying away from the event. There are players who see this type of game-play as invasive, and they will do what they think necessary to avoid it. I do try to take special precautions to stay hidden. I keep profiles private. I clear contacts so that only acquaintances were listed. Though I'm not sure how helpful these steps are. When I am ready to make new acquaintances I come looking for them here in the forum. When strangers do call, I check their profiles and look to see if they are registered here. When I socialize, I want it to be on my terms. I don't want it forced on me.
It was relatively easy to avoid being mobbed. My gang and I started Flash Lays before retiring for the evening, and we simply rolled in and out of them throughout the next day. As a test, I purposely left myself vulnerable before shutting down for the night. Low and behold, there was a strange mod at my doorstep the next morning. I dispatched them quickly and painlessly enough, but my alts would have had a much harder time of it.
As I said before, everyone has their own way of enjoying FL. It was a good experiment, and that there are components of it that appeal to some players - it enhanced their experience. It just needs a tweak or two so that players like me don't feel they have to go to extremes to avoid the event.

In my case, I already had all the campaign resources I needed without doing any more Flash Lays or Cases.
And good grief, I wasn't going to go out of my way to do a Flash Lay *on purpose* to be mobbed...

Haha, now I feel special. I actually got mobbed twice.
...I sure hope it wasn't anything personal.

My thoughts exactly. It took me hours to get mobbed in my main (my alt, while notorious, was left completely alone), and once I was, all it took me was 5 actions and the (relatively low) cost in suspicion was cleared at once by a friendly fixer. I get it that being mobbed repeatedly might be irritating, but, as just an experiment for one day, I thought it was at least different.

Maybe this late in the event, most of the most active agitators are already topped up on agitating influence, and so eligible targets aren't being mobbed with mobs so quickly and often as in the first few days?

I think people were a bit more conscientious about mobbing people who didn't opt-in to the pvp aspect. I didn't get mobbed either, despite being spammed with menace clear offers.

I was mobbed with menace clearing offers but not once was I mobbed despite constantly being notorious.
I'll take this as a compliment.

Because there's no time limit on the mob, only on the option to set it on you?
