I'm also just gonna call this a language barrier instead of you being sassy & negatively accusatory to me directly (for whatever reason), which is how you're kinda coming across here....
1- I didn't use gems to buy all of my alicorns.
Some came from the Baron's Tent, some were in-game goal rewards, some came from the Mythic Center, some were purchased on sale with gems freely earned.
I don't have the Love Shack and don't have *nearly* as many weekly white alicorns as some of my neighbors. But regardless, the number of alicorns (or any other energy animals) that ANY player has or how they acquired them shouldn't be a matter of contention between players.
Frankly, what I do in my game, how I play my game or what I buy with my money is my business. Same applies for you & other players, too.
2- You're right; extra energy doesn't matter with an item like the Woodland Bloom with a max of 6 and with a 1.5-hr timer. But extra energy DOES come in handy during events like this for chopping rocks and trees for mossy ore & mossy wood among other things, like attending to the REST of the kingdom.
3- There is no comparison between when a player finishes an event and the point of my post you're addressing: different requirements for the same level players to build the same thing. In fact, I don't believe "fairness" even applies to a player with less alicorns than you finishing an event before you. Numerous reasons can account for when a player finishes: the number of times they log into the game, the amount of time they play the game once logged in, using gems to speed things up, using Elven boosts, buying sidebar bundles, etc.
Those aren't "unfair" advantages; they're matters of personal choice & strategy.
But requiring some level 50 players to craft 2 Woodland beams and blocks in order to build a Woodland Tower while other level 50 players like me are required to craft 3 of the same blocks & beams to build the same tower IS unfair because it's not the acceptable reason of lower requirements for lower levels and no level of personal choice or strategy is even involved or matters at all.
Speculating that some players were asked to build 6 total blocks and beams while other same-level players only had to build a total of 4 for the same goal is because of the number of alicorns & energy sources that player has or the amount of stored energy that player has hoarded or that player's XP level or the amount of money that player has/hasn't spent on the game in the past or any other reasons posted here by my fellow players are just that: Speculations.
The only people who can truly tell us why, if there even IS a true reason for this disparity or if it's just random, are S8 staff that frequent our forum, one of which is PikaSquirrel.
Since we were only told that different requirements for the same actions wasn't a bug, I (& other players) still want more clarity on this matter because we feel we deserve a better explanation than that.
SpiritWind ~ Can you please forward our additional inquiries about this matter to S8 staff, so we get a better answer after the Easter holiday than just "it's not a bug". Thanks!
Otherwise, vitorfelix31 ~ Let's not allow inequities in the game (whether actual or perceived) *or* S8 to pit us players against one another!
