Whilst I know what your saying fishybreath, I have to say your not correct about having to do PV? to fully upgrade the Easter residence. I did not do any PV? and managed to fully upgrade mine You had to do everything else in the achievement line though including the `gem bought' scenarios ( I used my weekly gems for those ). I agree they are pushing the PV? a little too much and are irritating a lot of players by doing so, if they step over the line of `optional' in any event rewards I'll be gone too.I have played very little since Easter. This event killed the game for me. Initially we were told that PVP was optional but it was impossible to upgrade the Easter residence fully without doing PVP. This in essence made it compulsory. Now there's more PVP upgrades while the rest of the game has been left to stagnate.
