I will put up a suggestion here that Plarium might be willing to do and players might agree on.
Since there are 20 Champs, Plarium could create a chart with 20 different squares with a picture of each different Champ.
Then, let's say... at the begining of the month, this chart comes up upon your login.
You are asked to select the ( 2 ) Champs you would like to see in the next Champs for Bonds event and you only get to select your ( 2 ) Champs ONCE.
( Only players who have gone over level 40 and completed the Champ Tutorial would have this selection choice come up )
This makes the selection process way more important by limiting the number of days to make your choice.
Plarium leaves this chart up for... say 3 - 5 days. If you make your choice on day 2 of 5, then you would not see the chart agin, whatever day you make your choice, it is locked in and you cannot choose again.
Those that miss out on the choosing of ( 2 ) Champs in this 3 - 5 day window... miss out and are stuck with whatever choice was made for the event by other players that actually took the time to select.
And this dosen't have to be at the begining of the month, it can be random when this 3 - 5 day window of selecting ( 2 ) Champs occurs.
Now Plarium has some " REAL ACTIVE PLAYER " data to go on. Out of the 20 Champs, Plarium can see from the selections made which 2 Champs garnered the most choices. Then they would know which ( 2 ) Champs the majority of players are looking for.
Plarium can either:
1) give us the one that had the most selections if they have 1 event in the month or
2) have 2 events a month with the 2nd event being the Champ that garnered the 2nd most selections.
Plarium has already created a chart for the Imperial Loyalty Roll. They could just use the first 20 squares and put in the picture of each of the different Champs and then when we make our selections, a green check mark would be placed over our 2 choices we made. And we have to Confirm these choices.
Doing this would hopefully make all players feel like they were actually having a say, instead of complaining about the same Champ being offered 2 or 3 times in a row on the Forum**.
And since Plarium seems to like the "RANDOM" effect... by doing this, it would be actually "RANDOM" because the Champs over time would change.
** NOTE: There would be the effect of the first several times of choosing... it would more than likely be the same Champ, because there are many out there that want to have between 2 to 10 of the same Champ
(like the Cavalier - so they can get more resources faster rather than being limited to working with only 1 of this Champ)
(like the Werewolf - so they can do more Offensive BG's faster than one-at-time with one Champ)
(like the Reaper - so they can do more Defensive Bg's faster than one-at-time with one Champ)
etc... etc... etc...
you can see where having more of the same Champ will benefit many players, but over time they would aquire the number of Champs they want and then the "RANDOM" choice of what Champ would be in the Champ for Bond event would truly become "RANDOM"
