This is a good event. Why all the hate?

You are looking at this event through a very narrow lense. I truly enjoy decorating too. But if you look at the big picture of the overwhelming amount of justifiable complaints like the sluggish progress to achieve crafting currency, the meh story line, the lack of new craftables for 'old' players, the reliance on purchasing the overpriced premiums (I'm sitting on a mountain of donuts currently but have spent zero on this event on principle), the minority demographic of players that care for a Harry Potter themed event, and the genuine lack of HALLOWEEN NOSTALGIA... Yeah it sucks.

Also tired of hearing 'If you don't like it, stop playing'. It's called feedback. Thankfully it's only an event, so in my case, I rant in hopes EA uses the feedback constructively and puts considerable effort in the next one. My two cents.
