Title Counter Suggestion: Make the Pinata spawn randomized in PvP and Spawn

Description of suggestion
I would like to propose that the Pinata Party's spawn location be reverted back to the PvP area. The recent change of spawning the Pinata in the Mob Farm Area, where PvP is disabled, has taken away a crucial element of fun and excitement for many players.
Below are some key reasons why this change should be reconsidered:

1. Encouraging Active PvP Participation:
Moving the Pinata back to the PvP area encourages more players to engage in PvP, even those who may not regularly participate. This helps keep the PvP Area active and creates more diverse content for all players, from those who enjoy combat to those who prefer other aspects of the game.

2. Maintaining the Spirit of the Event:
The Pinata Party has always been intended as an event where players come together to compete and earn rewards in a PvP environment. By moving it to a non-PvP area, the core aspect of what made this event special is lost. Without the Pinata Party, the PvP area no longer serves its original purpose. It was the one event where a large number of players actively participated in PvP, and without it, that level of engagement will no longer take place.

3. Feedback from Players:
Many players have expressed their desire for the Pinata to return to the PvP area. Ignoring this feedback could result in decreased player satisfaction and participation in future Pinata Parties.

4. Long-standing Feature:
The Pinata Party has been a long-standing feature of the Oneblock Gamemode, and its placement in the PvP area has always been a core part. No one really asked for it to be moved to a non-PvP area, especially not for Oneblock. The only suggestion for relocating the Pinata Party came from players on the Survival Gamemode, not on Oneblock. Moving the event away from the PvP area disregards the preferences of the majority of players who enjoyed it as it was.

In conclusion, reverting the Pinata spawn location back to the PvP area would not only restore the excitement but also revive one of the PvP Area’s core purpose, as one of its functions is lost without the Pinata. I fully understand the concerns raised in the other suggestion, particularly regarding new players feeling frustrated when they are constantly killed by others guarding the Pinata. To address this, I suggest that the Pinata spawn be randomized within the PvP area, as it was before, but with an equal chance of it spawning outside of it as well. This way, we can balance the event's excitement while ensuring a fairer experience for all players.

Actually, the suggestion came from me, and I play, exclusively, Oneblock. I can understand your points, but it also brings me back to the point i made on my original suggestion. That there are certain people, who will straight up barr people from even hitting the pinata event 1 time.

What i see happen a lot of the time is new players, begging to not be hit, as they just want to get to the pinata, only to be head hunted, before even getting there, by way better geared players.

In terms of your player satisfaction, I can also understand that it does and will leave the pvp area, unused, as pvp would be entirely voulentary and no longer forced.
There are several people currently on OB that i know, just gives up on the pinata, and does not even bother going, simply because they've experienced time and time again, that they get camped and ganked, just trying to get their voting rewards.

Perhaps a better sollution would be an entirely different event for the pvp area, or a change in the rules that gives people a protection untill they've hit the pinata at least once.

Like, insaine regren and weakness, untill you hit the pinata and all those effects will go away. Along those lines. Only then would it be fair to force pvp on a rewarded event.
