Sorry @jdweagle1, I don’t agree with you on the 10k prize. I desperately need it for Matilda on my iPad. It will go so very nicely with Golden Turtle Hat & Peacock Fan. On the other hand, on iPhone, I desperately need Matilda Attack as my best is 5* (S)Starry Harp; I have Mascarade on iPhone.

I think it’s nice that they offer a variety of items. It gives a player unable to afford $$$$ for the Gems needed to play the Slot often enough to get the various great SS needed, a chance to get decent equip if they are willing to put in the time & possibly spend some Ship Energy. Since the Event is only 10 days, it will require a lot of playing to get the points. I think I played 6 or 7 Bird fights on iPhone before I saw the 1st Moanter Pig in this Event. To say I was disappointed with the fights needed for a Pig is an understatement.

EDITED: after reviewing points being awarded for the more valuable/difficult Monster Pigs, it’s going to be literally impossibe for an average player to get to 10k in the allotted time given Rovio’s decision to significantly decrease the points awarded for beating these Pigs…..

On iPad, where I really hoped to hit the 10k based on prior Events’ points per Pig awarded, I’m only up to #16. Here are the points: Win for 38, Bonus for 10 & MVP for 19; the total was 57. The equivalent Scorpion Pig was Win for 80, Bonus for 18 & MVP for 40; the total was 138, so it’s 138 vs 57.

I am now throughly disgusted with Rovio. This is clearly a money grab, nothing but pure greed & at this time of year they really should be ashamed of themselves. I don’t envision getting to 10k with these points and Pigs’ appearance rate without dozens of Gems.

It doesn’t really cost them anything to award these prizes, in fact, happy players are much more likely to spend $$$ for Gems, whereas unhappy players not only don’t spend but bad mouth the game to those they know & online. I don’t mind spending some $$$ for Gems, they’re in the business of making money, but this is really a slap in the face to those who’ve been supporting them with Gem purchases since the game launched.
