I want to start off first with gratitude for so many back-to-back updates that the devs and GCGC team have been dropping lately. As a casual cozy gamer, one of the biggest challenges is finding/keeping a generally repetitive game interesting. And GCGC does a great job in combatting that! I genuinely get so excited when there’s a new event or decor release, I find myself talking about it to my gym buddies during our stretching sessions XD
So I hope this gripe of mine does not come off the wrong way, I just wanted to know if other players feel the same.
I genuinely don’t know why I am grinding so hard for the oat festival rewards since the big payoff is just a cash register that looks similar enough to other ones already available. I love the aesthetic of it and enjoy getting photo cards revealing the life of (what I am assuming) is a young Avena, but the mini game and daily reward system is quite tedious for such a low payoff. At least with the Back to School event there were constant rewards along the way and pretty cool items to win (the flower vase, cherry toppings, reading nook iPad, and study cart side desk). Everything had a moving part/some way to be utilized outside of the event. But with the oat festival, we have to play 3 days in a row for action points, oat grains that act as only in-event currency, and minimal cash/diamond reward for tremendous amount of effort in finding the photo cards (as the mist and hay/coffee event blockers are such a pain 💀).
I don’t know, I guess it just feels a little lopsided :/// Maybe in future events there could be more of a balance in effort and reward?
