I am entirely disappointed in the Winter Event. I loved the grand prize of the Gingerbread Mansion, but it seems impossible to get it to its' highest level, or any useful level, by just playing in the event.
We get 10 Ribbons for each quest, but it takes 60 Ribbons to open a present, and get 1 hammer to fill out the required gingerbread house. Meaning that we get 1 hammer for doing every 6 quests! So how many quests will you have to complete to fill out just one gingerbread house? And then you have to finish how many houses to get all the upgrades? 10? 20? How many Ribbons would you have to get to do that----without buying them with diamonds?
It is ridiculous. It is apparent that you cannot win the grand prize without spending diamonds, and a whole lot of them. While I do understand the motives of the designers, it is blatantly unfair for them to make an Event that requires the spending of diamonds. It does not even make good business sense. You do not discourage your customers from playing an event----you need to encourage them!
A grand prize should be winnable for anyone who plays the game, Diamonds are there for the advantages they can provide. I often buy diamonds myself for that very reason. But lately it seems to me that the designers are getting far too greedy. They are making it so that there is no point to even playing the event at all unless you want to spend a lot of diamonds. This is foolishness. You do not discourage players from playing in your event. Making diamonds all but mandatory to win grand prizes is only preventing people from playing at all. This is the reason that I have not played the last three Events. So that is at least one customer they have chased away from their events. How many more customers have also not played their events for the same reason?
