ophion, I agree with most of what you said, but the event is not free.
It costs us diamonds ( if you play with diamonds ), coins, supplies, goods and most of all with me is alterations of my plans for the town or city.
My big complain about this event is the 1 DAY notice. Letting us know of the start of the event the day before it starts is not long enough to prepare for the event.
Also if the event was tested on the beta server, any player there has the advantage of time to prepare and also knowledge of the actual quests that are to be used.
As the event has previously been played, testing on the beta server is not required. As only the quest should change, the programming software should be the same ( with slight changes ) as the previous event.
If testing of these changes is required, then an internal test by Inno staff should be enough.
It do not need diamond to play unless u want to rush, pay diamond to speed-up scouting..etc
but u do not need to do that...there is plenty of time
Regarding your point on beta tester
You must go into a guild that is not helpful, try to find a better guild
Most guild, i believe, in game world
they already has full details of all the quests
Like me, i pass whole quest-line to guild in game world
All our guild-mate can prepare b4 Hallween Event start
Apart from this, some guild are freind to each other
and they are freinds in this game
They already pass whole quest-line to freinds or freindly guild
There is no particularly advantage to any player in game world except "for those player who play individually < no freind, no guild-mate support>"
In reality, there is dis-advanatge for beta player in beta world as
they need to dis-cover all bugs and help game developer to launch that event to game world
while player in game world always harvest the best
anyway,
if meet any problem while playing Halloween Event
just shout, u will get help in the quest-line
