I think events are cool. I admit I get bored without them. It makes me wanna come back and play several times every day, instead of just once a day. And yes, I also get upset when I don't get the final character of the act. But just as some said before me...afterwards they just wander around my town and I don't think about them anymore.
So I would say, just play events at your pace and if you don't get them, don't care and keep playing just for fun.
We are all strivers, we always want to win. I think that's what takes the fun out of the game. It's just as playing a board game with your kids. Crying when they loose. We need to overcome this and play for the fun and not the win. :mrgreen: (and yes I know it's easier said than done)
