I been feeling the same way the game has been stressing me out and I'm so tired of all these endless timed event I have has so many neighbors quit on me because of them .
Your so right about the outpost, I can't even send it out any more because of the stuff it asks for.
This event is to much like the last event , the rares yellow stone only ivy can give twice a day and may be just may be one come in the little adventure we go out in took me 4 tries before I got my first yellow stone ,,
