No. Easter was bad because it was all chance based. You couldn't even spend donuts to complete it. This event is all achievable through grinding it out. And if you dont want to grind you can either speed up with donuts, or skip certain prizes. No comparison.

Everything you said, plus we have some control over the crafting materials because there are so many jobs to earn stuff!I haven't crafted anything yet, either, but I don't despair that it will be impossible. I'm leveled up as far as I think I need to go, and there's plenty of time to get materials for stuff. Even if that weren't true, though, the characters are all prizes or unlocked through questline or premiums, so if I can't craft everything I don't miss out too bad. Might not get a lot of cane or walls, but that's fine so long as I can get the characters.

The comparison was more based on frustration and lack of achievability. I am grinding as much as I can. I've got every member of my town on short tasks for 4 bags and hour and I'm still so far back I'll never craft any of this stuff

If/when I go for the gas and grub, I will not end up with a cane field instead. I will get the building I want instead of a random number of decorations I don't want. And with most of my characters now able to earn at least one crafting material, I'm not worried about numbers at all.

Not remotely anything like Easter 14, at any point you can decided that you've upgraded enough for now and craft whatever item you fancy if you so wish, also there's around another 5 weeks left to gain supplies so no need to despair just yet.

Definitely nowhere near as bad as Easter, I've been upgrading and tasking and only just scrapped by to get FM in time. I've made sure my mutant seeds go to people who I know play several times a day to get the max

Is this event worse than Easter '14??

Easter was frustrating and this event is boring. I did enjoy the added sounds of nature during Easter 2014 (someone is currently holding a gun to my head screaming at me to say one nice thing about that #@$% event). At least this event is better than nothing.

True. That said, I'd be much more bored without it. :D

I'll let you know in five weeks - if I'm not in a straitjacket by then.

Simplicity.
I concur.

At some long if you really want something in this event you can throw donuts at it- easter had none of that, so a lot of people were left out on things- because of the chance. And while I get you weren't comparing the chance part- that's why most people hated it. This one has complaints based mostly in confusion and complexity....
And like many have said in many threads- I Really feel it's waaay too early to panic about this one.

trouble is I'm not panicking just bored silly and couldn't care less. If it wasn't for the fact I'm recovering from an operation I wouldn't be playing it much at all. It is marginally better than daytime tv!!

Not even close. As for being able to craft everything, I'm not even sure I want everything. I have a short list I'm focused on and will be happy if I get those. :D

No from me, I am enjoying the update so far.
I just don't like whiny crafting in this game.

No, it's nothing like Easter's prize system.

I was eventually able to craft the Farmer's Market without donuts, just a couple days ago. It was probably because I spend more time playing Tapped Out than I do complaining about it on the internet.

No. This event is not that good but EA would literally have to TRY to make a event worse then Easter.

despite tapping several times a day since the event started-I have crafted nothing. Anytime I get close to crafting an item upgrading the Monsanto building wipes out my stash.

I literally have no idea how anyone was able to craft the farmers market without donuts.

Some events are just harder than others for a lot of people. I've crafted the Farmers Market and another building and that's without the assistance of donuts. I like this event because it's keeping me active and busy (and providing a lot of free content).
