With just over 2 days to go, I'm barely halfway to collecting items for the Queen of Hearts. A sped up a few tasks with gems to get to welcoming her (spent about 20 gems) as I had a feeling she was going to be harder to get. I've been trying for 2.5 days and so far I have 4 hats and 4 scepters. I'm sitting on approx 45,000 event currency where as usually I would be sitting at 80K+ and already would have welcomed the Villian.
As much as I love Alice in Wonderland, I haven't enjoyed this event. If anything, I found is stressful and at times tedious. Part of this is having to deal with so many characters. I'm sitting at over 100 with the AiW characters and it just takes too long to send everyone on quests. Sometimes, I need to set the game up in a hurry and you need at least 7-10 minutes to collect/end all tasks and send them all on new quests. I just don't always have that time several times a day especially in the mornings. I wish there a way a put characters away we didn't need.
I also have hated the collect items to get items logic that has been prevalent for many of the day events. This time it has felt like a really uneven distribution of tasks. I have plenty of keys now since Goofy and Jessie don't have tasks to get the Queen but only 1 lock as all others characters are busy getting Queen items. I would rather they have quests that take 2-4 hours to get the item needed for the character rather than sending four characters on quests to get the item to go on another quest. I've spent about another 20 gems to get keys/locks to upgrade or welcome a character this event. I rarely waste any gems on these types of tasks but this time it has felt necessary.
They are definitely making it too hard to come up with that amount. I've never thought it was all that hard in the past, but as much as I'm trying to collect I know it's not possible.
