A Different Approach

I strongly agree with the OP.

In another topic, I wrote:


"A day away from the end of the event, and because it was deliberately designed to not give baskets until the Faberge egg is found, I have not had baskets in 20 days.

I have done everything to earn as many eggs as possible; I have been in my town constantly, but without baskets, I have lost out on potentially thousands of eggs.

Dropping eggs in friends' baskets was difficult because:
a- so few people had baskets
b- few who did had the right color
c- for days they were broken

And most importantly, when the only source of eggs from friends is to give, with the inability to receive, it is an action of diminished returns. I lost out on thousands of eggs, by only being able to receive half the quantity in return.

Add to the above, the dreadful odds of getting good prizes from the boxes.

I wrote emails to EA, explaining the host of reasons why this plan did not work. Quoting one of the emails:

"I do not expect an event to be easy. I want it to be fair."

I am willing to work and grind away to have a fair chance of attaining goals. I do not expect to get everything. That is acceptable, however, I expect a fair chance. That was the original draw of this game. An event like this one is like banging one's head against a wall."
