The last Event ended on November 19th, a week before this post was even made.
There is no forced gameplay, you don't have to do anything you don't want. If you dislike the Event, you don't have play it at all. You can opt out.
Not entirely. EA is using FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which is an actual tactic to pressure people to be motivated. No one is being held hostage and forced to do these events. But you miss out on stuff if you don't do them, and you're actively being pressured to do them within a certain time frame or you'll lose out. And that's assuming you can actually make the time to play, because every time we see these events, we also see people who will have to miss out because of one real-life responsibility or another.
The best thing they could do is remove the limited time aspect. That way, people can do them whenever they want, without any pressure and without having to change their schedule. And this would add a form of permanent, repeatable content.
