No, not trying to be rude, but we see people come in here all the time that have rushed to LMA or Colonial and only have an Oracle great building who think that they should be able to complete all of the event quests even though they have neglected building up their cities even a moderate amount vs. the era they are in.
I'm not sure what your situation is, but it certainly sounded like the classic complaint when someone has put themselves into that position. This is a strategy game that requires at least some thought into how to balance all of the game aspects.

Ok, I just got curious, and looked up @haveacigarrr on foestats, and low and behold 2 cities. One in MK, and I looked at it... 14k, EMA, and only an Oracle. The other one is on H (which I can't look at) and is the most advanced with 77k points and... an Oracle. The one in H is obviously the one they are talking about due to the amount of coins needed for the quest (I'm guessing LMA?).
So there you go. There is no way they should be expect to be able to complete all the event quests with such an undeveloped city.
Nothing wrong with either city, but they really need to park for awhile and build up their city. I suggest they build a Zeus and maybe Lighthouse of Alexandria, and update all the production buildings in their city to current era if they haven't done so already. Not trying to be mean, but this is simply a case of someone rushing their city forward through the eras way too fast.
Unfortunately InnoGames makes it way too easy for this to happen, and in my opinion leads to more people quitting from frustration than probably anything else. An underdeveloped city doesn't produce enough coins/supplies/goods/fp/etc. and usually ends up sitting in the bottom of the neighborhood getting hit over and over by people needing someone to attack for quests/dc's/gb's/ect. and plunderers.

Just want to point out somethings:
1. The name of this thread is Winter Event 2019 Feedback, nowhere does it say Positive Feedback only. SO even though some might not like what I had to say, it was my feedback.
2. Many replied and countered respectfully, thank you so much for that.
3. Others were so stuck on pointing out I have not been playing long and should leave, let me clarify something. I have been playing INNO games since 2011. So NO I am not new to INNO; just new to FOE and the other games don't try to always be in your pocket.
I will take your advice to leave the game under advisement for exactly what the advise is worth to me and hope someone from INNO itself sees that any different opinions are encouraged to just leave the game. (I am sure they will appreciate and agree with that sentiment being great for growing their business and positive branding.... NOT)
thank you all respectful response or not. Enjoy your day and your gaming.....

You used the term scam twice in your first post. and implied INNo has done so more then once. Accusing INNOO of stealing isn't feedback, it's libel.
2 is many?
I count 3 posts that replied to you and I don't think you could call my reply to yoour first two posts respectful else you prolly wouldn't have posted this post.
Me = others? While I'm a big ol' kodiak of a man, I still only get one ballot come election time. I'm not plural, I'm a singularity.
You got things backwards, I said you should quit first. After all, if you believe INNO is stealing and you keep playing then you are aiding and abetting before, during, and after the fact which makes you as guilty as them.
Then I said you were new, then said why, because only players new to FoE have the mistaken mindset that they have to spend to do well at the game.
It's irrelevant that you've played other INNO games. You still have that same new player mindset:
Uh-huh.
Lessee, in three posts you haven't said any positive thing about the game, threatened to quit, characterized their legitimate sales efforts to support the game as 'always in your pocket' and from your first post 'shamefully greedy' and 'money grubbing for little things'.
And accused them of repeatedly stealing.
Just who is trying to do more damage to the game here?
Your comments about respect and your well wishes and such have all the sincerity of a crocodile's smile.

Maybe "evil" was the incorrect word..how about not specifically singling out diamond players at all? If they can afford the advantages and choose to pay for them then they are supporting the game for the rest of us who either can't or choose not to pay to play. Lots of people like to single out people who plunder, or snipe, or obviously build their cities with "diamond assistance" when all of them are only using the mechanics of the game provided by the game creators. I give diamond players the credit for me not having to see banner ads in the game or have a McDonald's sign flashing atop my town hall.

I can't speak for him, of course, but I think he was just analyzing how the topic would affect the game.
I think you read more into his post than is actually there. Again, I can't speak for him but I'm familiar enough with his general attitude toward the game to guess that he agrees with you on this 100% and has no animus toward paying players.

@Graviton is correct in his assessment of the intent of my comments.

I just wish the Rails counted as roads so you wouldn't have to waste a road!
Coulda put Watchfires, VIC Towers, trees.....

You do know that only the Winter Train (front) section needs a road, right? The following cars do not need a road.

Though a basic road (same function as Trail with no cost or happiness) that acts as a railroad crossing with tracks and crossing gate in both single and double lane would be a nice addition.
And also a couple of bridges over water that act the same (in both horizontal and vertical).
While neither is functionally needed, it would be nice to have to have something that doesn't have to be min/max but is chosen for looks in my city again.

Yes, that is correct, but if you build a rail system to the bottom left, you need a long road.

??? Trying to make sense of this statement.
Yes, you would have to have a road that touches the locomotive part of the train, but don't you have roads in that area for existing buildings anyways?

Yeah, that did get pretty tedious at the end. I'd prefer to see something a bit more automatic myself,
Like everyone else said, you've probably rushed too far ahead. I don't even noticed the coin payout amounts, because I have so many and make them far faster than I can spend them. The only thing I spend coins on on a regular basis is recruiting units and when the most I have to spend on a unit is about a thousand or so coin when my city generates several million a day, it adds up quickly.
I suppose it was okay for a Winter Event, but given that there were 5 dailies of interest, the cars, the tower and Spire kits, it was a bit much. The Winter Event format is okay if a player is looking for one or two dailies, but it's not so much fun when there's a lot of good dailies to shoot for. That's the same issue the 2017 event ran into with the massive 9 piece set. At least the Tower is a non-seasonal item that has potential to show up in more events.
