I have been a playing Forge of Empires for about a year now and have made several diamond purchases. I have gone through the different events and have cycled back to the Spring Event. I have completed quest 51/60 of the current Spring Event. You would think that by achieving this, thus far in the event, that one would receive more than one cherry blossom tree or more than 3 lanterns from cherry blossom trees after each quest is completed. I don't remember receiving so few cherry blossom trees in the last event and let alone the few amount of lanterns. This few amount of lanterns does not bode well when trying to open chests.
This is the second issue. So many lanterns required to open a chest and then the odds of getting a building from the Spring Event are near impossible. I actually bought 400 lanterns with diamonds to start and still ended up with 30min supply clock thing, rogues, champions, 2 forge points, etc. Being at quest 51/60, you would think I would have more than just 2 event buildings. That is it. It should not be based on some "random roll of the dice chance" to win something. If you achieve something, you win something.
Perhaps, making an event that just costs me supplies, goods, coins and forge points, and does not provide the event buildings at the end of the day is not worth participating in. It is actually a real turn off and I found myself yesterday looking at other games online. Being in the Modern Era, these events should be beneficial to the user when they participate in them. Instead, I have spent money and lost a ton of supplies, coins and goods with nothing to show for it. I won't be participating in future events if this is going to be the norm. I have more opportunity to gain ground and quality assets from participating in the Guild Expedition which I do complete level 3 every week and sometimes level 4.
Of course, this is my opinion, but, I know there are MANY others that have the same issues. Perhaps someone will take notice and make some changes to how events are run in the future.
