I cannot believe I was able to get this one. I only spent 2 of my x5 crops boosts and about 10 gold just to speed a couple tasks up, like the last hour on breeding, evo'ing, etc.
Before this event, the last Tales and the previous Leaderboards, I had around 4.3 million Food in my stock. Now, you can see how much it took just to feed during these events.
I feel awful for the people who were in arm's reach of the final goal, as well as those who were NOWHERE near it. Even though I succeeded in obtaining the final prize, I absolutely hated this event. Probably one of the worse community events I've ever participated in, and I always loved doing the community events. They continue to ask WAY too much of their players and give us *very* little to help along the way.
If this is how S8 plans on doing things for future WE tasks, I doubt many people will be partaking. They continue to stupidly increase the difficulty for events, tasks, etc. let alone the insanely demanding requirements. They never seem to take into account that we are human beings, who require sleeping, eating, working, etc.
And the amount of players who have voiced their opinions over and over, yet it appears to fall on deaf ears. It's sad how much negative feedback now comes around on the forums, simply because they can't seem to be bothered to do anything to address these continuous issues, which is pretty insulting towards the dedicated fanbase.
Sorry for the rant guys, it's just made me pretty bitter when I used to completely love this game :/
