Oh boy...I'm going first for this one.

#1 - A flower spray art at #160? Really? Get to the bitter end to get that? I'm not saying that it's not a nice giver (because it is and I appreciate them very much), but in past versions of this event, we've gotten jumbo trees. And I have a farm that is "jonesing" for a Suzy's Super Grow jumbo tree...but since that farm has a couple flower spray arts in the inventory, there's no reason to strive for the bitter end is there?

#2 - I get the itty bitty prizes at the start of the point rewards, but by level 100, you can't see your way to giving us something more than a handful of BBs and a few SG/SSG or a couple party tickets? And then there's the BEP...useless BEP. My farms that play events have been maxed at level 800 since a few weeks after BP released the last increase in levels, so that is absolutely NOT a prize in my opinion.

So am I complaining? Yes and no. This is a fine event...done it before, tends to go off without a hitch, so thank you for all that. But, when you use new players as the common denominator for determining the prizes, you're leaving us long-time players with a huge feeling of ennui and having been forgotten. There has to be a happy medium - this event isn't there.

 

You'll "jonesing" for 5 flower spray arts and get instant stalls.

 

I have to agree , there are many old veteran players still playing this game

1 Flower Spray Art + only reduces stall times by 20 percent , We can win these with our Piccola Wonder Boxes

We cannot win Any Suzy, Super or Jumbo Trees using Piccola Wonder Boxes ,

For Example I have already got the prizes therefore it not very appealing to do this event , meaning there are other farmers who in same boat as me , Us older farmers is not showing the appreciation and make us enjoy this event

 

The prizes are not enticing to me and could be more well-rounded to benefit both newer and older players.
The only reason I'm doing this event is because I like the hidden item game.

 

I agree with the above comments. As of late the prizes in many of the events are not very enticing. This cloud row is a little better than most lately.. it seems that Bigpoint is set on giving cloud rows that give % of ep and if lucky maybe a crate or two. We used to get some pretty exciting cloud rows.. Its been a while since it has given something really good.

 

I hate the sparks, when I find something.

 

This event is the one that challenges me the most. I haven't even really checked the rewards. I appreciate the detail that has gone into developing the mechanics - to 'click' and the item disappears - and the graphics are extraordinarily requisite! And while I groan at a new scene, I am pausing to think of it as a new and exciting test.
(and it rewards me with the knowledge that my alzheimers hasn't fully taken over yet! -I am assuming it is lurking)​

 

I have always enjoyed this event, but have skipped it a few times because it does take a fair amount of time. So I was very much looking forward to this iteration, and it has not disappointed! the "clickability" is much improved over last time I played, and as said above, while I groan at the new ones, they have been very enjoyable as well.

While the prizes might not be "exciting" for everyone, the event is really not that demanding, and to my mind, the prizes and the requirements are in line. I know there are many who will not agree with me, but there are so many ways to win wonderful things now, compared to the way things used to be, so I prefer to see it as "opportunity" rather than "deprivation". When I think back to the days when Mystery Trees and Stables, PF and BBs were next to impossible to get in any way other than by spending real money... and the harvester coupons allow me to go about six months out of the year without having to purchase the harvester.

It has been said over and over that one of the things that makes this game so great (and hence why there are so many of us ten year veterans) is that there are so many ways to play it. In my view, this event is a perfect example - play for the CR, play for the points, play to the bitter end... no matter your style, there is something in it for everyone, but nothing so desirable as to make it stressful. I, for one, much appreciate the opportunity to play for my own challenge, rather than to have an additional stressor in the form of "must complete". More like this, please!
