Talk:Star Fall Event/@comment-24027651-20150427222815

I hate to say it, but this is the event which has finally gotten me to stop playing DragonVale. I've been playing for more than 2 years, gotten all the dragons & eggs, gotten almost all the bonus content, and I'm just tired of the daily grind of event after event.

It makes me sad, especially because the content they added for this is really pretty and I love the new glow effect. But the string of events this spring, with hardly any breaks in between them, has just gotten to be too much for me. Even if I spend half an hour a day grinding away at food production and track everything, I still have to spend several hundred gems to get the last reward for the last couple of events, and my gem stockpile, carefully hoarded to get me those last pieces of bonus content (like the Lost Island), keeps vanishing in the face of this spring's constant event stream.

I used to use gems occasionally to get limited content, like the Love dragon (I was travelling with no internet for most of the time it was released), or the Leap Year dragon (in the 24 hours it was available for the actual leap year). Now I'm stuck burning 320+ gems during the two bonus weekends of each event to try and keep up.

It was fun to have the occasional event where this happens for 2-3 weeks, but I haven't even been interested in opening the game the last several days. I loved it when it was a fun game where, if you played regularly, you could get all the limited time content without spending 30 minutes harvesting & entering the details in a spreadsheet to make sure you got all the possible eggs / flowers / dust, every single day, and spending $5 in real cash for every day you missed.

So, I'm off to go play a couple other games that are still fun for me. I don't know if I'll try to come back to DragonVale after a couple of months and see if things have changed, but I'm just not enjoying it anymore.
