I disagree. In my opinion this new form of event is an epic fail cause it is not thought through thoroughly. It favors the strong cash players and neglects the free ones.

It starts with the completions ... after two days I have managed 2 completions. It's ridiculous when one considers that the top daemon is at like 50 or 60 completions.

It continues with the stones ... they are so hard to get. The idea that somebody can actually steal a "magic" sealstone is incomprehensible. I'm a lv. 105 player with two 5 star cards (cause getting new ones in earlier events turned out to be impossible). How the heck am I supposed to win against a lv. 120+ or lv. 130+. True, I could attack lower levels, but personally, I think that's what cowards would do. A strong player has to search for stronger opponents. I hear and experience it too often myself that the higher levels attack much weaker players who, consequently, have no chance of completing any set. This is neither fun nor fair. I believe that this function should be deactivated immediately or restricted to an attack range of max five levels above and below one's own level. Everything else offers only a plattform for sadistic people who take pride in having defeated a weaker level.

The gemstone events were already pretty badly made. With the new modifications I think it got even worse. The new design evokes the impression that Zynga tried to squeez the gemstone event and the ghost agents do battle event into one ... and it all ended in chaos and disaster.

No, really and honestly, I don't only criticize the implementation. I seriously believe that the whole event has open ends on all sides. If Zynga things that it will motivate anyone to spend more money, they better think it over fast, cause I believe it will keep people from spending money. Sure, I know that people tend to give in when they learned to like a game a lot, but I believe that Zynga has oversteped the line by far and I hope they learn it the hard way.
