Even spending money doesn't guarantee a fully evolved bldg.
But this kind of difference means ppl can do everything and still not get the minimum.
Falling short could be due to players' chest choices, though. I don't think we should just make a blanket statement that the system isn't fair, because people have all different strategies for opening chests and that, in addition to the randomness, affects the final outcome. With that being said, however...
That's kind of the whole point; most video games and online industries rely on variable rewards to stimulate ongoing engagement, which means Inno possibly doesn't intend players, even the most dedicated ones, to get the fully evolved building in every event, hence the built-in variability of needing to win back some currency: to finish the building is completely possible, maybe even likely for dedicated/willing-to-pay players, but definitely not assured. Now I'm not saying that's good for us but it's absolutely intentional and probably very effective for their goal of keeping players engaged.A bit to much of the rewards/compensation is placed into the randomness/luck of getting currency from chests. The fact that you can do everything of the event and still come up short.... is a massive flaw.
