While I'm still not finding the event as a whole hugely exciting, per-say, I would like to say that it is much less stressful now that all of the tasks are released, knowing now that achieving the higher tasks, at least silver, is possible without sacrificing sleep, and the overtime function is a nice addition.

What concerns me most is the lack of response from the team, despite the changes having been made. I realize that it's the first event and there are bound to be some issues and confusion, but I feel as if much of this could have been avoided from day 1 simply by outlining what the upcoming tasks would be worth, or even as simple as posting a small announcement to acknowledge the concerns of the userbase.
In the future, if these many complaints are brought up about a given feature or event it would likely be a good idea to, at the very least, confirm that you, the staff, have seen the complaints and are looking into it, or just assuring the userbase that, in this case, it is possible once everything is fully released rather than remaining silent.

Nevertheless, I appreciate the town hop change being made so quickly, and the overtime rewards system is proving to be my favourite aspect of the event. I'd love to see more aspects of events in the future that encourage community interaction such as this.
