The varied requirements is a curious decision. I can only believe that ultimately all players use the same energy, resources, etc. in the end or there would be an outcry of, “That’s not fair.” And that really would be unjust.
At a first glance, it would seem that the choice to vary requirements would be an attempt to disempower the forum, right? Coming here at the start of an event often makes it possible for me to finish an event, something that is increasingly difficult to do. I often don’t have the time required to chop, collect, or craft all things necessary to make it to the last goal, and inevitably I have to spend gems.
I even stockpiled energy for the first few days of the week in the hope of helping myself. I was up to 250 energy on Thursday morning and down to zero by this afternoon.
I’m also unclear what the end goal is.
