I can't actually find any information about the Shop but I was a little disappointed (understatement) to realise that what I thought was a voucher for +1 Larger Harvest from Workshop Buildings was in fact an instant buff for ... drum roll ... 2 hours! For this I paid 2 Season Coins.

To be fair, when I run my mouse over the item in the Shop, all is revealed but unfortunately I had already bought it! This was extremely expensive for what can only be used for one harvest of most Workshops and not even that when I am holding back my harvest in order to get more drops for the event starting over two hours away!

I am sure I paid for a similar voucher for animal pens and it was something I could activate when I wanted but perhaps I just never noticed it started immediately.

 

illy is right - the cost is too high for the meager rewards. Not liking this new "pass" much at all.

 

I agree with the above that a 2 hour instant buff is extremely irritating, especially for how difficult it is to earn enough coin things to buy it.

That said, I have found this Season easier to get through the levels than last season. I felt I really had to give everything to progress through the levels last season, whereas this time I have made it through to level 36 with very minimal effort and without giving up anything I would be otherwise using elsewhere. It is certainly nice to get extra bonuses without having to go out of my way to get them, so that is a big positive.

 

The amount of Season reward points required for the upper levels is ridiculously astronomical.
It requires 1380 to get level 52, and that is up by about 180 on level 51. So level 55 is probably about 2400 or more. That is about four days filling orders!
Edit: ... Level 53 needs 1660.
Edit II: Level 54 needs 1980
Edit III:Level 55 needs 2360 (OK, I eggsaggerated ...a little)

 

I felt duped when I purchased the package for the Halloween season, so I felt smarter about NOT purchasing it for this Holiday season. But, I think in the future, I'm going to be even smarter and not bother with this thing at all. It really isn't worth it for higher level players.

That said, I can see where it is geared towards newbie players. And it can be serious boon to them. But, not past about level 70.
