And one more concern rises with the new mechanics: Whether the developement team used it to again nerf the rewards from an event or not.
and this is a big concern for me aswell, back then in winter 2019 we had 1 KP rewards and players asked if we can go below that reward, and obviously answer is yes in misty forest event, back then we atleast got 1 small reward and 1 small progresion item towards grand prize, in this event we can clear 10 tiles or spend 10 items and get absolutelly zero rewards, no chest, no cats, no extra items to use, it would be acceptable if the rewards were better or more then usuall but that is not the case
imageine winter 2019 event were 8 out of 16 gifts had 0 rewards and 0 progression items towards grand prize in them aswell and you will get misty forest
i would be very surprised if anyone will manage to get grand prize to stage 10 this event, because it has lots of places for fails and zero compensation for that, just wasted resources with no rewards.
getting daily looks in same category, getting one will be very hard
i hope we will see some balancing to compensate not getting anything in many cases (for example adding magic resources from mystical objects, or more quests, or reducing pricing for items)
but i like grand prize and the fact that i can skip all chests in this event
