If so it probably proves the point about not hoarding [/quote] Yeah, I'm feeling it was going faster than before. Though people mentioned people may be getting on in the east coast or something like that.

Everyone realizes it's slow because y'all ain't donating right

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if the final milestone added different items to collect or something. the only event items I'm saving are the ones I'm gonna throw in my vault for good memories of the anniversary and the event

I throw everything i have into the unfilled bars until i have one of each thing left for the next stage.

To be blunt I just didn't have the time to grind for this stage and I cant guarentee I'll have the time to grind for the next one. It took me over two hours to rotate through my familiars for stage one and after that I was like yeah this ain't worth it.

It also doesn't help that we're able to see the rewards ahead of time and I'm sure people just go 'ill let someone else grind for me today because I don't need food or eliminates'

Really sucks that that can't really be helped because people are going to drag on any prize that isn't a new breed and tidelord help us if the final prize isn't one because people will just give up on the event and it could stretch on for weeks lol

[quote name="Oranitha" date="2021-06-10 09:09:58" ] I agree with the points against hoarding (even if it would give me the dopamine to dump so many items I got the bar to move), but I'd also wonder if the slowed progress bars are due to the hype cliff. On the anniversary, we had >5k people showing pretty much all day, and I'd bet a pretty sizeable portion of them were hype as hell. If staff used that rate to set the second milestone, well, we've lost over a thousand folks and the shininess has worn off a fair bit. I don't have any idea how to express that as a malus modifier, and I'm sure the staff's already thought of that, but it could be one hell of a cliff, especially (no offense, staff) if the folks who were coming back just for this opened the chest, got a few food items, and were like "meh, not worth grinding to get the rest faster". (Semi-spoilers: second chest contents are exciting! More casual folks may not know that, though...) [/quote] It isnt, at least for me, due to the fact that the hype fell off, it is that the rewards werent worth grinding very hard for. Why would I put in any effort for stuff I dont need besides the bare minimum? Going to hold onto the chests in hopes they become worth something, but the inner contents arnt really much for me (as a veteran player). However, I am eagerly awaiting the final reward which I plan to grind for. I am glad, and have no problems at all, that these rewards are good for people who play different than me and have no problem with this, however I dont see any reason for me to personally grind for the current rewards, to speed it up to the end or not.
