Yeah, I'm a little disappointed too. At first I was thrilled that they kept the same format as the Faire event, which was wonderful. But then I realized that by doubling the daily max while keeping the individual collecting rewards the same, they've brought back grinding. It's going to take some planning and time to get the daily max every day. Some things are harder to collect, too, like the pumpkins - way more of them than the banner bearers and each gives much fewer points, so a lot more work for less payoff. Then the dragons are much more expensive than in the Faire. The overall effect is that even if we manage to get the max every day, we'll have to spend a good bit more real cash to get all the new content (about $50 on double weekends, it looks like). Ugh. I'm just not up for either the grinding or the cash outlay. For the first time, I'm thinking I may skip a dragon. I'm not crazy about Ortreat and I think I can live without it. Besides, BEB is right around the corner and it might be breedable then.
