The idea of weekly challenges for all is great. We do need something to do. Everyone was looking forward to this.
The result is really like giving us all a very very cold shower after letting us think we would get something fun and enjoyable.
The resource demands:
I cant see it as anything but a way to strip us from resources and making us pay gems if we really want to solve future quest where we would have used all the resources. Either that or someone put a few extra zeroes on the demands by mistake. It is not something anyone can keep up for more than 1- 2 weeks.Repeat this every week - just forget it.
The adventure demands. Either there is someone who forgot something on all the one item lists. You cant chose from a list of one item - then it is not a choice, or the person who made the text, is not very good at English and should maybe get someone else to make the translating of the texts.
The one picking the adventures does not have a clue how the game works - or they would have picked adventures people have a chance to get hold of, and have a chance to do within the time frame of a week even though they have day time job also.
Yes we can chose not to do this. But many people feel cheated,- they started this thinking it was something that was possible to do- used the resources thinking that it would pay of- ending up feeling it was all lost because they end up with a more or less impossible task.
