User blog:9miho/Thoughts on Orochi's Winter Vacation

For me as a pre-81,low cash player this  event was really well done. It's the first time im really happy with zynga's efforts. I think the previous events were focused on players spending a lot of money to get the top demons.On the last tower event i bought 2000 gold if i remember correctly, mainly for holding my FH place. Sukuna is awesome btw.^^ Orochi's Winter Vacation was a different story for me. This time i did not spend a single cent for the whole duration of the event. I managed to get into FH #1822 (Miriam+3 mags), into SH #1726 (3 large beef bowls) and into total rankings # 1572 (Ikutachi and unfortunately no mags QQ). I saved most of the SW everybody got as compensation for the SCQ. I think i only used 2 of the 5 we got.

Altogether, i think this event was largly aimed at free players at lower levels, which in itself, is a move of zynga i applaud to. My lower guildmates did not have as many problems as my 81+ guildmates. One even managed to get orochi and ikutachi as a level 44 player. Kudos to you Kaizen! Another one managed to get into the top 500 as a level 69 player. Congrats BakaBaka! On the other hand, my high level guildies had a hard time getting to 60 completions. Many of them did not even try anymore at some point since competition seemed to be pretty fierce and volatile in the 81+ battlefield. Anyways, kudos to Zynga for giving low level free players a chance to get top demons. Especially considering the last tower event desaster, this is the right move to do. At least one type of event of the many events we get flooded with should not be based on the greed we have seen in previous events.

To a better future for all of us. This is 9miho signing out with a happy smile on his face as he waits for total rankings rewards to be calculated.
