To answer some previous replies:
I realized early on that vases were a distraction from getting the top prize. In any event my main objective is a complete event building. My problem was choosing the wrong strategy for buying and digging. Nothing to be done about it now at this stage. A lvl 9 WF is still a darn good building for 24 tiles which how I will have to look at it.
As far as coming to the forum in order to do a event correctly- why should I have to? I would guess that the majority of players never darken the doorway to the forum. Sucks to be them I guess. There was a time not long ago if you completed an event you got a complete event building, often with upgrades to spare. If Inno wants to turn events into secret balancing acts that's Inno's prerogative but they shouldn't get too surprised when some of us complain. And that's what the forums are for me, a place to bitch when Inno pisses me off. Like now.
Hmm, I didn’t pay a single diamond and I’m getting lv 10 after I finish the quest line. There might be luck, but I’m quite certain you did it wrongToday after carfully and skillfully playing this event that unless your willing to buy diamonds you cannot get to level 10 fair, the best you might get if your lucky and have a few diamonds you won , is maybe level 8. so in the end this is a DIAMOND BUYER EVENT to complete. don't think will don much events after this one. When it becomes a diamond buyer only event, then i loose interest in the game and don't recommed it to anyone umless they got lots of spare change to spend on it.
well i don't know what you mean by wrong, but i do believe there might be built in a small element of luck.Hmm, I didn’t pay a single diamond and I’m getting lv 10 after I finish the quest line. There might be luck, but I’m quite certain you did it wrong
My complaint is the portraits. As an Indian woman, I was excited about the avatars. Finally something that I could really connect with. Instead I get white washed portraits. They look like white women dressed up to go to an Indian woman's wedding or to a Bollywood party.
For a game that encourages cultural exploration, it was really disappointing.

You sound so confident in your wrongness. A few direct quotes from the Event page on the fan wiki.Today after carfully and skillfully playing this event that unless your willing to buy diamonds you cannot get to level 10 fair, the best you might get if your lucky and have a few diamonds you won , is maybe level 8. so in the end this is a DIAMOND BUYER EVENT to complete. don't think will don much events after this one.

I think you are not quite as skillful as you think you are. While there is an element of luck involved, it is a very minor one, and can't stop skillful play from getting a level 10 fair. 10 grand prizes are needed for a level 10 fair, and I got that without a single diamond involved several days ago.Today after carfully and skillfully playing this event that unless your willing to buy diamonds you cannot get to level 10 fair, the best you might get if your lucky and have a few diamonds you won , is maybe level 8. so in the end this is a DIAMOND BUYER EVENT to complete. don't think will don much events after this one.

I am new to this forum, and want to begin by saying I really love the game and am enjoying the Event. I even got my sons to get me some diamonds for Mother's Day to make sure I could get close to completing the World's Fair as I had a rough start lol

Sucks, but it's the way the world works. Horses are more likely to see the world from a horses point of view.
She’s pointing it out so that once people are aware of it, it can be changed. People aren’t horses, and if they want to be more inclusive, which seems to be the case with Inno, then they can only be helped by this kind of feedback. How hard would it be to include some darker-skinned avatars? They add new ones all the time.
I'm completely for it.
I was just citing a common problem with representation- especially from western markets. The problem is they could-have, sure. Would-have, maybe. But they didn't. I've heard that Hollywood often favors lighter-skinned ethnic people that look more White than most because it goes over better in terms of sell, and this was because they believe people do not really empathize much with people who look too different. There are exceptions, but this is the general norm.
Except they didn;t make it this way. I already have a level 10 WF in the bag in one city once I get the last quest upgrade, the other city I expect the same thing, I'm just waiting for another SoK DS to use my 1.9k of remaining scrolls.I get that Inno needs to have revenue coming in, but to make it where you have to buy diamonds to get a fully leveled event building is extremely discouraging. The ones there after... sure, why not...

The key was to dig only for Idols scooping up whatever tangential vases got uncovered along the way. Those who didn't remain focused on Idols will likely moss out on a level 10 without diamonds to make up for it.
