Im actually finding this one easy (at ~1650 stars without spending any gold, with 4 days to go), but I agree about the prizes. Removing tickets as a prize is very irritating. I will never spend gold on an event if I can't win tickets towards a gold producing dragon. Now the only way to get tickets is the very expensive tales events (at least increase the number won for this. It is sooo expensive to actually complete, due to food costs), or bingo, which is impossible because you are competing against people with seemingky bottomless piggybanks who never sleep.
