I agree with the frustration. This and several other events are already a few years old at this point and many players have been able to consistently beat them every time they show up, sometimes on various degrees of auto. There is no reason we should still have to spend additional time playing them manually, especially when we already have TB, GAC, Conquest, whatever else to worry about.
I realize CG mentioned that the sims would be implemented in a future update. I/we've waited this long, I/we can wait two or so more weeks. On the other hand, they were able to implement and change so many things at once - UI changes, Episode tracks, the new Marquee and GC system, Daily Quest changes, toons becoming accelerated or being added to shipments/nodes, etc. They really couldn't find a way to include simming a few events, which is miniscule in comparison, in that update as well?
