I'm averaging one expansion per week lately which will likely slow down once I move to those last few spots that require Explorer's Permits. It still feels doable with all the 'extra' materials these newer items are dropping so I should keep to my schedule with little issue.
With all that in mind, I still feel like these Birthday Goats should've been on a 22 hour timer and guaranteed a Permit each collection, simply because this is meant to be an anniversary event. I feel like these events and the prizes we obtain during them should be more special than any other for what they represent, 6 years of CS. But apparently s8 doesn't value their own anniversary as much as I do, lol.
