my only complaint with the events as of late is that casual players can't get half the stuff that the more... non-casual.... players can get. i've been on both sides of that coin.... when i was playing obsessively (checking in every hour) i found it easy to get everything during clash of the clones and THOH 2014 (and multiples of a lot of stuff)... right now i'm more of a casual player cuz, you know, life, and am finding advancing taking FOREVER. at least with the wheels of chance and stuff it felt like i had a chance of getting cool items, now it's like, okay, i have to devote x amount of time to this game in order to get these items. it's becoming a bit much.
i still love the game, but the new event format still needs a little tweaking, i guess.
