Mask drop rate is pathetic

In two days I only received 1 mask and I'm wondering if others have the same problem. This has been going on since the start of the event. I actually play every 4 hours because of insomnia so it's not for lack of trying on my end. It's really hard to make the daily task when you're required to send three crooks to a friend and I seem to get this task at least 4 days out of the week. Sorry if someone else posted something similar, I read back and didn't see anything.

    Ya, just X it out. Also when you get masks you could save them just for DC and not for random handouts. Also also if you save a completed DC but not claim it, you won't get the same one.

    Since "Send Crooks to friend's towns" is not claimed it won't come up again.


    I did not know that. That would explain when i x'd it out today i got a SH job for oscars.
  • I stopped worry about them after getting (and completing the Daily Challenge) requiring them. I'm up to 52 or so. Since it's not zero I thankfully don't really notice the low drop rate.
  • Also when your friend taps the crooks no paintings are yielding in the message box, just the amount of the award of the pillage.

    I have dropped lots of them in neighbor's towns but I rarely get notifications that they were found, probably due to the 4 hour expiration time. It should be 8 hours at least. Also, I dropped 5 of them from my second town into my main town. When I immediately looked for them in my main town and couldn't find them, I went back to my second town and saw that I was able to drop 10. What happened to the 5 that I had just dropped only a few minutes before? I'm wondering if the 4 hour expirations are at pre-set 4 hour intervals?

    never found one from you, i did drop 2-3 a few times in your town and never got a notice that you cleared any of mine, guess bad timing
    i tried the same thing and only found 1 of 3 from one of my towns to another of my towns
    i haven’t gotten any drop or clearance notice in 2 days

    I know I dropped some in your town early on but don't remember if I got a notice that you found them or not. I did find some you dropped last week. Lately, I've been giving what pitiful few I get to neighbors who are a bit behind, hoping they will find them in time. I'm still getting notices in my 2nd town that my main town found them and also from a few neighbors.
