I would be so VERY GRATEFUL if you wrote to S8 about this. I'm fed up with what your upset about, plus several other things. I wrote to S8. I'm hoping if enough people complain, maybe, just maybe, they will do a complete overhaul of the way they plan out these events. I titled my e-mail "Thinking about quitting." Which is the truth. I've got several neighbors in another S8 game that have already quit, or say they are quitting soon, due to these same type of issues.
Plus, I don't know how everyone else feels, but I'd like a bit of a breather in between goals, to stock up on food, and simply play the game! What does everyone else think? Do you prefer goals/Dragon Tales/Leaderboard, etc., after goal, right in a row, or would you like some time between these events. At least one week, or a bit longer would make me SO happy!
Best wishes!
