It looks like they set it up to force folks to buy the final spark thing.Still missing a Dreamspark for the land.
In the same boat as you and agree with everything you are saying. It is ridiculousWhile having more land and being able to have more (if not all) of the attractions out would be nice, this event really pushed me to manage the number of characters I had out at any given time. While I understand the original reason for maxing out the number of characters (performance issues with game), this issue can easily be resolved by reducing the number of tokens that are Epic, Legendary, Rare, etc. Not to mention having tokens that take more than 12 hours that almost never drop. Characters like Matangi, Edna Mode and Lightning McQueen are going to take forever. That doesn't even throw in Figment (at least there is daily free tokens which helps some).
At first, it might have been about game performance. But then you realize the number of far more complex games out there that far surpass this one. They also tried blaming it on players with older phones, but were they truthfully worried about losing that small amount of players vs risking annoying the majority? Doubtful.While having more land and being able to have more (if not all) of the attractions out would be nice, this event really pushed me to manage the number of characters I had out at any given time.
