Personally I like that longer events give you more time to do what you want to do in the event. I want casual games so I get aggravated when they make something where I need to schedule my life around the game instead of the game around my life. When there are at least a dozen different things I can be doing or have to do at any given time I don't want to be getting all mad because I forgot to check in and now fall behind and hope to get everything before the deadline. I play games to have fun. Leave annoyances and stuff that makes me mad to real life. In a game if i have everything done and there is still time left I just do other stuff and come back when there is more new stuff to do or get.
