There comes a time where a games devs completely screw things up. And it seems like the time is now. Prior events were too easy and you were able to build up a stockpile of most event items pretty easily if you were a decent level. Now, the devs have taken it completely in the opposite direction. Instead of making it a challenge, they made it darn near impossible to do anything. 10 adventures in a row out of the minuscule adventures allowed with no pumpkin drops, 14 out of 15 run in total the last 2 days without them. Only 5 pumpkins total on the collectibles. And the pumpkin patches are basically worthless unless you babysit them constantly.
I play this game for fun. Heck, I play any game for just for the fun. If a game ends up turning into more work then fun, I drop it. And this game is on the verge of doing so. I've already decided not to drop any more money into the game after the 2x gem debacle when I am running no blockers or adds on my browser yet still couldn't purchase after the other times I was able to with no problem. I already decided to cut my game time down as I am not going to spend countless hours following the stupidity of the devs on keeping a balance between needing to stay on the game constantly or failing to get much done.
