 @Binaditch – perhaps it’s not even true that ‘so many people‘ hate events. Yes, it is a very vocal group, but that doesn’t make it a majority.

 Everyone plays the Game as he pleases. Some may enjoy the opportunity to decorate Islands and change the decorations for every occasion that comes their way. Others may like the various kinds of Dragons and their life is a happy one if they breed one they haven’t gotten yet.

 And then there are players who want, no need!, to have at least one of everything that has ever been released in the Game: Dragons, Twins, Eggs, Decorations, Event prizes – whatever.

It’s this last group that is the vocal one regarding Events. There is just too much new stuff available. Some Dragons, for the Dragon collectors; some decorations, for the decorators – for the last few Events each of these could be picked up in any order a player wants. And these compulsive collectors: They Have To Get It All!!! Which is impossible without spending an enormous amount of time, or some real money, on the Game. Fewer (or no) Events means that they don’t have to miss out on anything. I’m not saying it’s logical, but then again: it does make sense in some strange way.

 And of course there are those for whom an Event is the equivalent of a red flag. The mere hint of an Event, even an entirely harmless one like the ‘mini Event‘ we had for Thanksgiving, causes them to start howling at the moon. Which is just quaint…
