The 'taxes' quests in the last special event (herds) were just too much, I quit the quest, i play to have fun, not get stressed trying to keep up...
--The Masquerade has a couple of the quests that need items from non-boosted goods. I no longer have these buildings; in fact, I thought it was recommended by the game to produce boosteds, encouraging trades. This feels like going backwards, usurping space that is difficult and expensive to come by if I do build to complete the quests, too. It just doesn't makes sense to me that some of the quests being so extreme that 'only 13 quests' which actually will also take extra time to do, isn't such a small amount of quests to get done....
--I will really need to see if the prizes are worth it for the level i am on; for some, it may be great, but the last special-Herds...was overwhelming and expensive as far as goods, supplies, and such, am currently working at the beginning of Ch6 and paying out goods as if everything has already been upgraded and i can make goods all day long...
--All players being at different levels, and each play a bit differently, so although not speaking for everyone; I do feel these two points, the 'taxes' and items from non boosted factories many longer have may not just be an issue that i disagree with....
--all this being said; I really enjoy this game and just won't do the special events if I can't afford to do them the way they are set up at this time...thank you for listening!
Have a great day!
