"forcing" co-op participation to add peer pressure and competition and that is how GGS works - @tessa17 given the nature of the beast recently you can be at ease knowing it will be one glitch you don't have to encountertessa17 (US1) said:Don't want to be in a Co-op. Can't do spruce. I will just ignore these new events from now on.
It is a shame as I enjoyed the novelty of it.

Was looking forward to this new event. Then I find out 3/4 the way thru I need spruce. Not in a Co-op so I'm out. It would be nice to know in advance what farms /co-op are required for these events.

Even if you were in a coop, some of us are finding out that the spruce is more beneficial elsewhere than for this event -- too expensive to donate for "junkie" rewards.theric (US1) said:Was looking forward to this new event.

While I appreciate new events and its good to have something new and interesting to do here, the thing that stands out to me is the average rewards. A lot of these rewards are not even worth the effort.
Another thing, why does the final event reward always have to be a decoration?? High level players already have A LOT of decorations scattered across their farms so there's little motivation to play this event. Why can't it be like other events where you are offered a few rewards to choose from at the end, for example seaweed, mystery boxes, an appearance perhaps??

I, like others, do need decos, even if to feed to Greta. But I agree with you wholeheartedly that a choice would be very welcome. It would be nice to complete appearance themes, for example, or be able to choose even gold or deco parts (skipping the middle man).gizmo22 (AU1) said:While I appreciate new events and its good to have something new and interesting to do here, the thing that stands out to me is the average rewards.

To find the answer you have to think like a GGS project manager, for example:
"where can we add a hurdle for solo players ? edge plants ..."
only solutions for solo players: buy gold when the hot deal offering village items is active, or spend gold to buy edge plants in their basket offers

I like others was part way thru event before realizing I had to be part of a co-op to finish.
Normally GGS will make note if you need to be part of a co-op to participate. I don't read up on events I take that there will be enough info on the game. Lately there seems to be more reason to quit that keep playing.
I don't want to join a co-op just to finish the event. I was looking forward to something new but again disappointed. Of course there will be no reimbursement for donkeys donated.

Very unhappy and disappointed that was not able to finish the event. I am not interested in joining a co-op.
I felt this this was unfair to everyone that could not complete the event and lost what they had donated.
There was no information saying the event was not open to everyone.

Food truck is asking for so many donation. It's not worth doing just to get the deco....:((
And I was so excited with this new event but I think I wouldn't be doing it in the future...I prefer to sell my products.

Truth be told.....ive family that were addicted to this game and played on the same Internet Address night after night,
Come and visit us and look again all are playing BF. I was only starting out with a small farm.
Weve all lost interest. As my Uncle says: "dont let this silly game take over your life"
He used to get cross.
He knows. Now we talk and are a family when we are together. Not watching Big Farm. Its not worth it. We go outside now and play like we are supposed to.
Maybe a good thing.

overall I have quite enjoyed this new event. It has been nice to have gourmet farm used for an event and have liked the variety in the products required.
however, it is not perfect, some things could really do with being changed ... in particular there are way too many tasks requiring the donation of products, at least some of these should be collect instead. If it stays this way it will probably make this event not worthwhile from a cost perspective, especially the higher difficulty levels. Also, there are no WWC event points showing & as it looked from the schedule that this is replacing the normal themed event I would have expected it to have points.

this is a much needed event but should NOT replace the other weekly event on the main farm - it should be open to all and not just co-ops or paying with gold for edge crops as the only alternative
no event points on the USA server as well.
