I understand what you're saying @SimKitkatz, and it does seem pretty daunting (especially all the LlamaZoom tasks). It's a lot easier when you have 4 playable characters, which many veteran players have. It's also a matter of using strategy to optimize your time. I think what's considered "hard" for some is "challenging" for others, and if EA doesn't make it challenging enough, people will complain that it's too easy and boring.
Keep in mind that these are special events; if you don't feel you're up to the challenge, you don't have to participate. Especially if not being able to complete the event makes you dislike the game enough to quit.
