Changes to Easter that might have decreased frustration

I don't agree with permanent baskets as people more than one town would have been granted essentially unlimited eggs.

Being able to simply plant eggs (like Whacking Day) would also have been a good fix.

Sorry, I'm not clear on how permanent baskets would have been different from being able to drop eggs with no baskets.

Higher drop rate for baskets would be my preferred solution, anyway.

how about when you clear a handshake from a neighbor visit you get an uncommon egg.

Less eggs per spin would have been great.

Sure, but not entirely necessary if we could earn sufficient eggs. I'd take four times the earning potential over half the cost any day.

Or they could have gone this route...

Well yeah, of course it would have been better if it were a completely different event. I was attempting to work primarily with what we actually got.

True.

Egg boxes costing less would have been the one thing that would have probably made it better. 100-200 eggs at most for each box would have substantially increased the number of boxes for everyone and given much more opportunity to hit the fabled "80 guaranteed".

Even with the Faberge Delay, this would have helped, but that too was atrocious. Some people never even got the Faberge Egg. This severely hurt their chances, and maybe it should have just been the reward for finishing the quest line instead of a tiny chance or something to purchase.

For me Halloween 2013 was an ideal event, you were awarded for dedication and frequent game visits. Unlike Easter which was based on luck or a minimum of 80 or so spins (for Sharry I think). So if they used Halloween 2013 as a template for all events I would be happy.

I think the odds should increase depending on how much you play the game. For instance, if you play everyday and tap all your neighbors, then you would have a better chance than someone else who plays less. Just seems like it would make it worth it for those everyday players.
