Player Run Resist Sessions are a great way to benefit the shard. The last one that was held, bloodclan (via muguk) donated 20 platinum coins, 5k cooked fish steaks and 10k bandages. I think with events like this, those that run them appreciate anything that can be used to help it out. They are definetly worth going to.As for getting dead, there's usually an order guard or other spawn placed so it will ghost players so they can enter the event.
