I am puzzled. I read that lower levels got to finish, but many, many lvl 50 (including me) did not. So, was the spawn rate different for them, or did they spend more gems? Or am I missing something? Because in my case, it did not matter that I played a lot (more than I dare admit), there was no way my pasture would get past 8. So I made three cats. They at least are cool, if kind of big. They would look good at the size of the were beasts.
At least I got some gems, which I refused to spend, because I did not like that this event was so obviously geared to make players spend gems. I don't mind paying, but just don't like being forced to. Kinda like taxes!
