Unbelievable!! We haven't even finished this event yet, and another one is starting??!! AND it requires (according to Decree's post) 17,500 crops!!! After we have just depleted all our "grow stuff"?!!
NO! I'm sorry to say this, but it is becoming just too obvious that this is pushing hard to make us spend more and more of our RL$$ on these 'Events'...especially since there are too many of them now, and they are slowly requiring more and more expenditure of real $$.
I've been playing this game for almost 5 years, and I have loved it - BUT if this keeps up, I am leaving...taking my RL$$$ and finding a new farming game...which is why I came here in the first place!! And - yes, I am very upset at the way this beautiful, fun, farming game is being turned into something else!!

Sorry, but I am sitting this one o-u-t in peaceful but strong protest!!

 

I like the PF as a prize in light of frog breeding coming up soon but that's all. With the current event ending (Perfect Pea) and immediately starting Little Helpers, it doesn't give those that are still working on Perfect Pea an opportunity to prepare their fields with long crops to get that so very important first harvest for drops for the next event.

 

This event comes too close on the heels of the other one. Most of us like time to prepare a bit and to do some "regular" farming between events and this leaves us no time to do so.

EDIT: although it appears that the rewards are decent for the effort, the fact that this comes so tight on the heels of another event AND with frog breeding right on top of it just means too much.

This game is no longer a casual farming game, its becoming an "event after event" game. You put a lot of effort into these events, that is obvious, but having so many means we just cannot appreciate any one.

Further, all this push for EP/TEP and then when you reach level 96, its.. what now? The answer is "nothing at all" .. except those artificial goals we wish to set, such as growing 5000K of everything, etc.

(note - if anyone is interested, I did post a suggestion for a new land for higher level players in the suggestion forum)

I will likely participate to some extent. I have a hard time just staying away completely, but I am definitely not buying Supergrow or any baskets. In a way, that is good. I think there was too much pressure to finish and spend money earlier, but back to back to back events is really going overboard. One a week was too much.. this is waaaaay beyond that!

EDIT 2: What frustrates me the most is that I really want to appreciate all the hard work and imagination that goes into these events. Its clear that you are trying, are coming up with new things. But... just way, way too many.
That said, if you MUST have that many events, having just basic ones with moderate givers, etc as prizes is best. At least folks who cannot participate don't get so upset. When you do have a super event, it really helps to give more notice.

 

I'm out, not playing that game BP. I need time to build up my stock so you won't be getting any of my hard earned cash here. Give us a break between events please.

 

nice finished perfect peas so ready for this one
looks quit easy crops can be grown on all fields and futher it depends on a lot of drops

i think there will be time enough to get the animals

 

Oh Great...I forgot the animals! 450 animals to donate/giveaway right before a Breeding event!! No, thank you.

 

I like this event and the rewards too. I have a lot of animals in stock, and the lemons growing time, it's ok. The only problem I have are the feather dust drop amount. The requirements for the feathers are way, to high. I will not be able to finish this event because I can't get so many feathers.

 

I could like it, but the dropping rate of the feather dusters is really too low...

 

not worth the time , or the effort. this one's a stinker, the cost stink's, on a scale 1/10 this one is a 2 it's stink's

 

Drops are awful, not going to be able to finish

 

This event was just "ok" for me.
I liked the power feed, much needed for the breeding event coming up.
The cloud row is just another cloud row with nothing special about it.
The drops were horrible- but I grew all my crops early and have been planting carnations
for the last 48 hours and that saved me, so I was able to finish.

 

I targeted the PF, got it and then switched to 2x2s so I didn't need to use harvester. I didn't worry if I would get anything more but went ahead and grew more organic lemons (regular lemons grow on trees but organic lemons are a "crop"?). Got the CR just because I already had earned the givers with the PF. Used the last of my lemons getting one harvester coupon and some more SG. Won't complete the event because it isn't worth it to me. (Drops would have been okay as I still have over 200 feather dusters and almost 300 sprayer bottles.) The rewards on this one were poor compared to other events.

 

I have to agree this was not fair to start this event before the other one ended. How were players who were trying to finish that one supposed to get prepared for this one? And the amount of event crops and drops for this event is high for having 1 less day. Why do we have all these animals and trees if we don't get more than a few days at a time to have them out? Sure we can use buffs but I don't like using buffs unless I know I will be able to harvest on time to get the full benefit from them. Moving forward with these events I will try to get my FOCD under control so that maybe my animals can at least take turns to come out and play longer than a few days!!

 

Likes: Fairly simple to understand. Rewards: Cloud Row, PF, PS and HH.

Dislikes: Drops are lower than usual - have more than one farm and don't think I will be able to complete this event on them. Hate having to ask for help on drops on events when they first start -- like to try to complete by myself but then it is too late because you can't get enough drops to finish.

 

This Event is just a Normal Event, Nothing New Concept, or Fun Mini Game or Enjoying This Event. No Fantastic Prizes or Rewards.

This Event was too soon after previous Event no time for Event Break or allow back to normal farming. I keep Giving Feed Backs to These Events, plus many other farmer gives Feedback to this Event too.

Time, Time Again Farmerama Team not listen to our Feedbacks to Made much improvements to Enjoy Events Better. I am starting to think i will cut down on giving Feedbacks to Events it seem i am wasting my time posting here.

It would be nice if Farmerama shows us they do read and listen to our Feedbacks. Overall it was bored, Poorly Rewarded Event.

I dislike getting any more Cloud Rows. They are becoming a Bore !!! They are useless combined with Pets and Buffs. Need something New and Exciting ASAP.

 

I agree with all the other comments about too many Events too soon after each other - so I sat this one out! Had a good time relaxing on my farm, and growing many, many frogs for the breeding event.
Sooo glad I did!

 

I will concur with my contemporaries. I have been around this farm awhile...nothing earth shattering or exciting. I said this with the pea event...nothing that makes want to harvest in the middle of the night. The crops were significant, the lemon bottles required way too many lemons, & the prizes barely worth mentioning.

To be frank, I come on the farm, lately, to interact with some very nice people I have met and spoke with.

 

I remember when event prizes always included something new, cute and exciting. It made you want to finish to get it! I've seen nothing of the sort from this game in a very, very, very long time, yet the events want to steal more and more and more of our RL time and our RL money.

Events back to back like this are getting beyond old. I very nearly threw in a bunch of animal pens and trees and called it quits the during the pea event.

Time to go back to the casual game you used to be - where when we had that big event there was a big prize worth the time and effort. Now, not so much.

Casually grew some things and got what I wanted. Still seriously considering dropping this game.

 

Just finished with 9 hours to spare.

I liked this event, it was easy to understand with only one crop to grow while taking an effort in time invested to finish. The rewards could have been a little better but not all events can give bananarama type rewards.
