Talk:The Great Dragon Faire/@comment-27004240-20150920192749

So each phase of the event is supposed to last two weeks? Except you can only get tickets for the last phase for one week, making that phase effectively last only one week.

Look at it this way. For each of the previous phases, players are given two weeks to earn enough tickets for the items being offered as prizes. That means players have two weeks to earn the tickets for the most expensive item for that phase. Often, that item is a new limited-edition dragon, but not always. Even if it's not the dragon, the new dragon is going to be one of the most expensive items. Therefore, if a player's goal is to acquire as many of the new dragons or as many of the new dragons s/he doesn't have and can't breed as possible, s/he has to earn a LOT of tickets throughout the game. With the two weeks given for each phase, this is pretty doable, even with the limit on the amount of tickets players can earn. One dragon per phase.

However, with the Faire dragon being only available through the tent and being so expensive, there's no way to earn enough to get the Faire dragon of the final phase like in the previous phases unless the player buys the remaining tickets with cash. This is especially true with the comparatively low limit on how many tickets players can earn per day.

The Faire dragon may come back breedable later, but ending the last phase early isn't fair to those unable or unwilling to buy the needed tickets. And it is ending early if players are only able to SPEND or BUY tickets in the second week. The game is effectively over for anyone unable to buy the tickets then.

In the end, I find it highly irritating and unfair for the game to end early in the last phase, especially when the game makers are saying EACH phase lasts two weeks. Clearly they do not if the last one is only a week.
