The cost to complete the quests requiring forge points has risen so much that it has become a burden, not a challenge to finish them. They hinder progress with the amount needed to spend and the constantly enacted Events. So much so that I look forward to the end of the event so I can proceed with building my city. I know they are a choice to play but the end prize is not all that appealing and the cost of forge points to get there is tremendous. Especially if the player is in advanced age/eras. It is even more concerning when one wins a large amount of forge points doing other in-game activities and then must use those all completely because a quest task requires you to purchase more if the alternative is not also available to do. Won large amount forge points, like the 200 I recently won, should be placed in the inventory not the bar. You should be able to choose how to use them, not have the game choose for you.
