Please confirm how the candy sharing rank works
I was wondering if the candy sharing ranks are per world/alliance or are per service region (ie. GMS/EMS).
Furthermore, if they are currently NOT per world/alliance please consider changing them to be.
It's not even remotely fair for people on low population servers like grazed or mybckn to have to compete with full servers like bera. You're limited to -receiving- 5 candies per day and there's only so many people you can share with.

You're completely right anyway, it's broken by design.
My personal suggestion would be to change it from a ranking system to a flat amount of candy (e.g. share 25 candy for the first tier, 100 candy for the second, and 250 candy for the third.)
I really hope Nexon considers changing it as I was really looking forward to this event but as it stands I and many others have no chance in competing.
However, we do see how placing low population servers in the same bracket as a high population servers can be unfair.
We will pass along this feedback to see if it can be addressed.
I hope the ranking bracket gets addressed.
Unless they change it to count per server/alliance, this event can be thrown on the "Good idea, horrible execution" pile.
There's literally no reason not to, since all the rewards are cosmetic and don't affect the game no matter how many people get them.
For once, please, show some backbone and fix yet another one of these glaring mistakes instead of flipping off the players.
You're right.
You also missed this text.
In short, Halloween Candy and Suspicious Franken-candy have a chance to give an Oversized Halloween Candy Chair. Since I'm currently the only known person who has it and it is still a Top 100 Ranking Reward you can expect the rates of obtaining the chair to be as low as the Ancient Guardian Chair or even lower.
EDIT: Seems that another person went public.
Oversized Halloween Candy Chair lookin pretty good
Another perfectly good event gone to waste.
The thread started a day or so ago. Even if they're planning to do something there's no way it would have made it to the game within a day.
Do you remember around how many candies you opened before you received it?
Also, I had noticed that bit in the notes but there was a picture of another giant pumpkin underneath so it was unclear if it was the same chair
I've opened around 400 Halloween Candies when I got the chair. Much less than how much other people have farmed which are by the thousands by now.
The Giant Pumpkin Chair, Halloween Candy Hoard Chair can be obtained after sharing 50 Shareable Trick or Treat Candy.
and by the time most things are answerd event will be near end ....
i just hope we dont see Maple World record-Champion issue going again (wich most like it will ... )
even tho we know the end issue after few month they "lost" data and very few won include some hackers

again same type event world competion (include hackers) and no track of ranking
hope they learned mistake with last events and make changes to this
Might I make a suggestion? I understand that it would be difficult to change the rankings mechanism at this stage of the event, so:
Would it be possible to instead increase the chances for getting the chair directly from candy?
The current population situation does cause a huge imbalance in who ends up getting ranked, and I think the best solution would be @Matty's suggestion above:
But if it is not possible to change this aspect of the event, I think increasing the chances of the chair from candy could be at least a way to improve prospects of getting the chair for people in small servers who are already severely disadvantaged.
