Two different subjects: cumulation and event development (your 'prizes going up' remark). One easy, one a bit more speculative.

Easy one. 'Cumulative' implies that there is an order to things. There isn't, as far as prizes per stage - and an argument can be made that this is true for all prizes of the event, as none are supposes to disappear until a week after the event finishes - go. There is no reason why this balloon can't be the first prize I claim.

Speculative one. Unless something changes it proves to be far too easy to collect the daily maximum of tickets. I'm not sure how it is for lower level players, but for me it's neither challenge or chore. I wasn't even able use the Challenge Tent for a third time yesterday - and the second 100 tickets are all waiting in social for the next reset. If it turns out to be possible to collect all prizes (or at least one of each) while achieving every day's cap, where is BFS making any money here? Surely not from the handfull of impatient big spenders that had a Midday up in coop within a few hours after the event started? Those are the cherries on BFS cake, not the cake itself!

As implied, I'm not finished with the second part yet. Seeing what happens when the next stage is revealed might help. I have a sinking feeling that the first five stages will be more of the same and that only the final stage will be what we will truly remember from this event. And before we get there I may be bored to death with this event - which would definitely be a first!

Along this same line: anyone not willing to spend any money on the game shouldn't turn in any tickets until the last stage is revealed.

I agree: too much elaboration. You caught me at a bad moment...😋
