Guaranteed prizes are not a "feature of the game". You can state your non-fact over and over, but it is still just your opinion.
The prize is a feature of the game for completing the Spring Quest full stop.
The event has 1 more attempt with lanterns to get a Cherry Set part.... On the basis that 13 Gold Chest attempts returned 1 Cherry Set piece I am betting that the last attempt will return something other than the Cherry Set... I may be prove wrong on this1) Your complaint is unjustified on the basis that the EVENT IS NOT OVER. To claim you didn't get the prize is meaningless as there is still time left in the event to do so.
WRONG2) The prize will be available in future events. Just because you didn't get a particular prize RIGHT NOW doesn't mean you won't get it in the future. In any case, your strategy for obtaining the prize could be sub-optimal and you may never get the prize.
The only reason it would be sub-optimal is because chance did not fall my way.
3) There are some aspects of this game which require strategy, there are other aspects which require luck. Getting certain prizes (whether in events, GE, Treasure Hunt, etc.) entails luck. In fact, one could say that luck is a feature of this game.
The game is called a Strategy Game. not a Monopoly game or any other game of chance.
Additionally when the ""chance"" is managed in the optimal manner like I did this time through it almost never provides the results it provided me. I would love to see the Bell Curve on how Cherry Set pieces were ""randomly"" distributed according to their advertised chance, because I would bet that I lay outside third standard deviation if a distribution exists.
