I?ve 12 bitty blades (of the needed 15) collected. Not a chance I?ll finish this. Had half an inclination to buy the last few bits but then I realized that would be falling into the trap.
If there?s another surgery after this bit I?ll add my two cents.
I agree. I get those same drops from other places. Just irritates me that I spent so much time on the earlier goals and got stuck on 10 because I don't have time to babysit the game for 120 gnomes. (My work schedule changes daily, and for the past few days, I haven't been able to get on much.)
I feel myself such a fool to have spent so much time on the earlier goals, getting up at midnight sometimes, now that I see, that there is no way I finish the goal 10.
I enjoy playing this game, but the events are just impossible for normal people, who work and sleep.
I agree with you, HuckleTown, I refuse to use gems to finish, although I am just a step shorter of finishing it.
S8 madness! It's too much.
I made it (not that it matters now) to goal 12 this morning, and with much sadness, threw in the towel. There was no way to acquire 3 more bitty blades (30 broken) plus the 150 pollen needed to craft them, and the extra 30 for the spell in 12hrs time when it takes about 6-7hrs just craft one blade. I could spend $10 and buy the stuff, but there is NO WAY I am giving a penny, this was just too energy intensive for a normal player. Congrats to those who finished.
I am glad I stopped when I did. I agree ? what is the benefit to making it require such frequent check ins? Do a lot of people spend gems at the end to finish? Would these same people spend gems on other cool decorations if advertised through initial game opening pop ups? Seems much simpler... make the goals attainable for more people and you?d have happier customers.
I?d like to see in the survey something along the lines of ?I intentionally stopped partway upon realizing time commitment was too high.?
Agreed. I have 19 weekly alicorns, an adult destrier and a sweetheart unicorn (which give energy like the weekly alicorns), 29 daily alicorns and 4 daily unicorns. And I didn't finish either. Energy obviously wasn't the issue -- collecting gnome pollens every two hours just isn't practical. This event was ridiculously tedious.
Toward the end I thought I'd just buy the Gnome Kane for gems, but then the event ended and he was no longer available! Very poorly thought out by Storm8, making the item expire as soon as the event ended. I was ready to buy the Gnome Kane for 180 gems, but now they've lost their chance to sell it to me.
