This isn't sour grapes by any stretch - any event is a good event - but I personally found the difference between the World Cup event and this event quite marked. I'm not in a guild and the local economy is a bit jaded in my neighbourhood, so I found some of the tasks put the hand-brake on my progression very early in, and I spent maybe 3 days at one point not getting very far at all. I certainly didn't finish.
The World Cup event at least allowed steady progress (or at least the illusion thereof
) where you gained footballs each day automatically, and I felt like I was participating fully, even if some days I didn't really win anything. It might have been good to get a ticket on the wheel, for free, every day or every second day, so that people who were struggling to complete their tasks at least had some incentive to push on.
Having said that I still won a couple of things that I was pleased with, so am generally grateful for the event.
