Very uneven distribution... and its not only about randomness because almost the same ratio/distribution holds for other people too as you can see in TO. More exactly there is more canes than bells and more bells than gingerbread in Northisle world (not only my case)

Think yourself lucky Bart, have managed 2 sets of collects every day and sometimes 3 sets, still on 16/25 bells so not even made first basket yet.

44 bells
114 canes
34 gingerbread

If this is not bug than im convinced that this is BB trick forcing us to use gems for achievement

every single event there is some problem with collectibles... but do you know what? i could easily buy those gingerbread and bells for achievement (i have or can make enough gc) but its not worth of it and in addition this achievement is boring so no reason. (except to see some full achievement progress bar - you look at it once per year maybe

and few achievement presents are not worth of paying 15k gc per 10 gingerbread)...

happy xmas all

Would be interesting to know whether the people thinking they wouldn't make the achievement a few days into the event last year did or not

Every year people get frustrated and annoyed at this feature (it's been like this longer than just a year) and every year they wheel it out again in the same way.

Searching for collectables is not enjoyable BB (well, after the first week ever that you play and it adds a bit of depth). Making a random factor a vital part of progress (in the event chain. Held me up for 2 days. Not exactly a lifetime I know, but was it enjoyable?) is just stupid and likely to add to other frustrating factors that lose you customers eventually.

I mean come on! TSO is a very predictable game, that's it's strength; you can organise and plan and forecast (if you want) and you'll get the reward. Adding in dumb random factors (I include stupidly rare adventure loot drops) is a big negative and nobody ever enjoys it.

Well maybe it is all done on purpose. If we did not have the collies to be mad over - we might have more focus on the fact that there is more or less nothing to do in this event. Or the fact that the xmas adventures(scenarios ) are really really boring and meaningless. Only reason we do them is to get the prezzies. Or the fact that this event does not bring anything you can do active to get prezzies - you just sit and wait for explorers to bring. If you played long enough- you get more than you need by just sending explorers. If you are new you must be very active in trade or use money on gems to get much out of it.

But all of that does not get much attention because we are freaking out over collies
