llwater,
First, thanks for the respectful reply. Unfortunately that seems to be the exception here.
I'm not particularly happy with the way too high requirements for the album completion either, but personally I've learned not to care about those. There have been a few seasons where I absolutely wanted them - like with the New Year tower. In other cases I just realised it's supposed to be a highly exclusive thing that I wasn't willing to spend the necessary money on.
I certainly agree with you that they should be more forthcoming about the requirements and what can and can't be obtained. Keeping things constant and not switching between seasons every time would certainly be an improvement too. I've always said so and filed the same complaint in other threads about this subject.
