I honestly didn't mind this event being only a week. As long as we get a monster hunt once every three months or so I think it would be fine to be short. I got very bored as well as frustrated with the 21 day event we just had. I'm looking forward to the next challenge now but would be happy to see another monster hunt in a while. And you don't have to get everything during one monster hunt - you can work to longer term goals like the cooking camp and MRC.
I voted for it being the best ever because I got so many more gold tokens this time. Although honestly I think the happiest I ever was during a monster hunt was when Android players were able to generate the glimmer golems and blue boars that had previously been iOS only as this meant we were able to get some gold tokens. We'd all been sooooo angry and unhappy up till then.
And I think if you mixed and matched what monsters you generated it was possible to balance the different token types - I used the silver trade a few times when I got too many shields and swords and got some nice drops from it.
Something that makes me happy to play - and I really do wish I'd got the unlimited energy bundle and gone click-crazy with it - has to be a good thing.
