I found this event to be boring ·monotonous deadly dull uninteresting unexciting
lacking variety mind-numbing · mindless · soul-destroying soulless · humdrum · dreary
· ho-hum · mundane · wearisome · wearying · tiresome and soporific !

​

On the plus side, the drops were easy with three fields contributing with trees and crops.
And I learnt a new word! (soporific!)

 

The graphics are super cute, and the drop rate has been wonderful, but otherwise, I agree with the above... boring. The prizes are nice, for the amount of work, but the mechanic is just grow and mill, which we've stated again and again that we hate having to do... it's tedious. I prefer the ones where you have to turn in three or four different things for each step, but the mill is not involved.

 

While this event was not too challenging for more experienced farmers, I would bet that the newer, less experienced farmers are finding it challenging enough and the prizes enticing. Myself, I found the event to be a nice change from the stress of trying to time harvests and making sure I have enough other stuff to fulfill other requirements, especially with all the growing pains of switching to a new platform. As far as the prizes go, I don't play the events for the prizes, but rather for the personal challenge of completing them. I usually don't remember to put up my cloud rows (when I do get all the way through an event) until quite some time later.

 

While I agree that this was not a challenging event I personally enjoyed it. In this time of transition, I thought it was great not to have a difficult or overly complicated event. I was also happy to be able to work towards other goals and not stress over completing the event. I liked the prizes.

 

I enjoyed this event. RL is so stressful for the last year and adding in all the hassles with the change from flash that this has been a blessed way to destress from everything else going on. I really enjoyed being able to do the event and build up my farm at the same time and not needing to get up during the night to tend my virtual farm and actually being able to sleep for 8 hours straight. I really am starting to hate all the events that require you to do so much thinking and stressing to get done and playing multiple events at the same time. I play to relax from doing all that in real life.

 

I really liked this laid back, simple (not easy) event.
It was good using only one field and doing just what we wanted on the other fields. Drops were good and prizes were okay.

I do agree with what has been said above, with many farmers struggling to do anything on their farms, an event like this may have been possible/do-able - I hope.
I try to limit how much time I spend farming (not very successfully I might add!) and this event gave me lots of time to do other things. Another bonus!

 

Greetings lovely farmers,
