Honestly, I don't get all the raging butt hurt over this so called "cheating & lying" by Inno...
1. WE ARE NOT OWED ANYTHING!!
The entitlement here is sickening to behold. Am I myself sad that we didn't get the CMS? Sure, a little bit. Do I think it's time to grab our pitchforks and burning brands and set forth in an angry nerd mob to launch the Exterminatus on Inno itself? That attitude is completely childish - stop behaving like a bunch of spoiled 2 year olds! <.<
2. *IF* you're like me and pay attention to Beta and the wiki pages like some here claim they do, then you already knew within the initial 10 days of this event that;
a) While nice, CMS is already going to be outdone by the upcoming Lv.2 Winner's Plaza in the very next event.
b) Carousels are so 2019, and an arguably more efficient use of that space would be to go for a mix of Globe Fountains (better def stats vs. Carousel) + Lv2 Winner's Plazas (better atk% vs. CMS)
Any established player, like those who claim to have been playing for 2-3+ years, probably already have at least a couple WP's from the previous 2 years worth of Forge Bowl & Soccer events, meaning you're already a leg-up on hitting multiple Lv2's in the next event.
3. AD exists.
Sure, we didn't see anything really great this event in terms of daily prizes overall, especially for the late/end game players and/or any of us old grognards who've been around for 5+ years...
but what we
did get was an entire event's worth of AD fodder, which can be used to obtain CMS's for those willing to show just tiny bit of patience.
Now excuse me while I go and finish off my last missing tablet so I can claim the additional museum bonus, and use those freebie tools to get some more AD fodder.
