Re missing socks (can't blame the washing machine for this one!) ; ) ... in these chapter events, when I get too tired or stressed with waiting, I just gem ahead. Totally worth it to decrease aggro for me. Although this event was fine - socks all came in eventually - others I have fretted so much I just gave up and gemmed. If you get a few in but not enough, it's cheaper. The prizes are so fab I don't mind gemming through a bit. I do hear what some are saying about compensating us for the emotional stress of things not working and lack of responsiveness. I hardly do events anymore because of these things even though they could be fun. I REALLY like shoes tho so love the idea of my own magical shoe shop! Oh, I wish I could visit it and out in multiple orders! : )
