Merged a few threads into this (this thread was moved to Feedback by EA)
If you don't have all the packs or decided to not do all the tasks, you won't get all the rewards.
The rewards you are not getting are consumables. You can buy them through normal game means or in buyDebug.
You will get all the rewards that are only available through this event up to the magazine. If that's not the case, please create your own thread.
crinrict, the big issue I have with the event thus far is that I have 2 of the packs, and to my recollection, I only had one optional quest available and it was the only time I could participate in an optional quest. The rest of the time often, I was hit with the Horse Ranch stuff, a pack I don't own. I don't recall if there was any other optional quest (if I did it at all), but I only recall consciously doing just the one.
IDK if this was intentional or RNG, and whether this is what everyone got, but this is pretty much some kind of bias one way or another. What I do know is that at the end somehow, I ended up getting 2 beans, saw a mention of a PlantSim which left this event with some kind of lore cliffhanger with that which made this feel incomplete/premature, and have one uncollected reward. IDK what part of the math here doesn't add up, but there are some obvious issues involved that make this pretty messy.
It is understandable for people who don't have any of the paid packs or completely skipped out on them in spite of it, but if it doesn't cater to people who do and but can't actively participate when it doesn't offer it at all the entire time, what is the point of the event? I noticed a few times as well I was able to "complete" some regular quests automatically and because of that, I was careful to try to avoid triggering that before the optional quests were done. Every other time, i just obviously couldn't get past that stage. So it's possible this is also one other element that might've also accidentally skipped out or completed an optional quest on me (which if that were the case at all, I didn't see it). I just do know that often it didn't look like i could do the quests except for the one. Overall in this run, this was an awful way to run an event besides every other issue with it. In fact, I agree it does look dirty. It doesn't look like this event was tested well, if at all.
Personally not a fan of any of the events at all. The main goal of them probably is to get people engaged with the game and buy packs because of that.
You will receive all the exclusive rewards even if you don't own packs and this was communicated ahead of time. I agree that the ending is pretty abrupt. If you don't do the optional ones once you finish the last non-optional one, they disappear. I've also missed out on one because of that.
I don't work for EA or can change anything about this so I'm a bit unsure why you tagged me. It's good feedback for EA but I don't have anything to do with it.

I know you don't have anything to do with EA. The issue I was responding to was what you were saying.
The issue isn't for those who don't have the packs, or don't participate in the quests at all. It's for those who have only some of the packs and whether they get the quests they could do. The way this panned out, you aren't guarenteed the ability to do so in the first place, and there wasn't anything in the description of the event that this would be the problem. If you're not getting the quests for packs you do have, you can't do any optional quests. In fact, as one has implied, it's no longer actually optional. So even if you did do it once, apparently you don't reap all the rewards because it's stuck in a points based bonus, which is only tied to the optional quests.
Heck, again, that's not even touching on the automatic quest completion that happens that would nullify the ability to do optional quests at all. That also locks you out from the bonus points, if that also happens with some people. So, merely having the packs isn't enough. It's a bad way for the event to be set up with the mechanics of the game.
