The only time I ever had any excess was Christmas 2014. 10 savage scouts made a huge difference. Now I have more grout than I will ever need. Which I was surprised how hard to come by eggs were at Easter.

I agree it shouldn't be called an Event. Should be called Blowout Sale or something. Or Limited Time Currency Removal Shop.

The purpose of this thread is to provide feedback for the "Midsummer Night Event". Please address your feedback and criticism towards this, rather than towards other players. Thank you.

well it's NOT an event. At most a clickfest
I think that this event is a waste of BB resources and a bad move. I'd probably be more worked up about this but I'm fairly busy at work and home right now and I just feel some real apathy instead. I won't be harmed by this event except that it's a bridge to nowhere. What a waste of time and effort. Instead of putting in something interesting and/or useful, we get this.
I understand that keeping around old event resources might be a bit of a pain, programming-wise as well as economy-wise. But I dislike that there is a big to-do about the removal of those resources, that the event is exclusionary to players who either are too new to have many of those resources or who actually spent them all during the events they were introduced during (I mostly gave my extras to guildies but have a few piddly amounts here and there), and that this element of the game is going away. While I am not a hoarder of the event resources, I see the appeal for those who are: people buy stuff and hold it for a whole year sometimes. This means you have either: a player who's still playing for another year, or if that player quits- the old resource removed from gameplay. So, quick, get busy and remove an element that promotes player longevity. Brilliant.
This really seems like an event to appease whiners who complain that hoarding is somehow cheating. As if the hoarding players didn't buy those resources from other players at market prices.
Overall, I'm enjoying many of the recent changes such as entering troop numbers instead of sliders and I enjoy the game. I want to be clear that I'm speaking about this event in specific and not the game in general - I'm not quitting in a huff because I think the event is stupid and I don't want to just sound like a Negative Nancy here, but I'm calling this the way I see it.
i am looking forward for this event, lots of limited gem items to be had, the floating rezzes alone make the event imo- and those are very cheap to get (<--- new players)
I'm glad it will help older players (especially those who mentor us newer players) to unload otherwise useless prior-event geegaws, and to get their umpteenth super trooper general if that's their desire. But how will we new players get these gems to buy floating rezes (or other items) even at cheap prices? We have no tokens, no prior event items, and since we are new, we have precious little of value we can trade. All we have now are very good guild-mates willing to practically give us things so we can level up, and the occasional TO flash sale. We can't do the high exp/loot haul adventures and expedition troops are far too costly for newbies to try to keep up with, so we aren't going to have much of value from that quarter. We rarely get adventure invitations outside of our own guild because we cannot yet afford the super-trooper generals that most older players require in order to join their adv. Tokens won't be available for discovery or in collectible drops, so our only sources will be the rare drop from lower level adv loot (never yet got a token from one), or older players leftovers at likely high TO prices (which again we won't have the goods needed to buy them), or sink lots of real cash (which a lot of us just can't afford to do).
So I have to agree with others, this is not an event, it's a swap-meet for older players and players with deep pockets. I hope there will be a true event later this summer for all players. And that it will have some new and exciting things available for older players as well. Almost all of it is new and exciting to us newer players, but I am sure if I'd been playing for 2 years or more I'd appreciate a new castle, building, or craft/production chain.
