Umm -- Fyrosfreddy?
Where is the NPC hunt listed as a repeating scheduled event?
Answer: Nowhere that I know of.
Therefore I do not think that the event team can be faulted for trying to do an event on a weekday to interact with people who can't/don't do it on weekends. (I presume that was the idea behind doing it then.)
Ummm .... Correct Answer:
a) IG App /appzone 1976
b) Discord sends out reminders
c) Guild MOTDs
Of course, this is a player scheduled event and if you are going to tell me that the Event Team doesn't know about an event that happens every 5 days for the past 5 years is something that the staff "doesn't know about", then there's bigger problems than I had realized. Ya can't blame the player base for not putting it on the Event Calendar since they have no access.

Perhaps the answer to the problem is to set up a Forum entry or other record that includes player-organized regular (and irregular) events so that if the event team decides to conflict with them it is with full knowledge of what is going on and if they decide not to conflict with them they can do so because they have knowledge.
The answer to the problem,as you have described it, already exists and has existed for years. I don't see how the In-Game App (and the website with which it is associated), doesn't meet each and every tenet of what you just decribed.
a) The record has been set up
b) it's easily accessible IG
c) It's easily accessible on the Ryzom web site
d) It's accessible to the Event Staff
