all the quick negative reactions to this event.
Purely personal opinion:
Folks who have done other Events but not Winter Events are going to go bonkers about how tough the Daily's are, the Reindeer, the Shuffler, the quality of the Presents and Grand Prizes and Daily Specials, the new Calendar, and, well, pretty much every aspect of this Event.
In other words, the normal reaction posted in any Event Feedback thread.
There is a nugget of truth here though.
The Winter Event is the toughest to get a lot of high quality Daily Specials, always has been.
That is the nature of this Event.
Grab some popcorn and enjoy?

My gripe is the same from the last few Events, that the explanation + tutorial is not up to the complexity of the Event interface.
I'm experienced with a proven history of doing well in Events and I'm spending a fair amount of time doping out what to do. That's my fault, I don't do spoilers.
Yeah, there are spoilers and you can get advice from folk from beta, but maybe that is indicative of the problem that such are somewhere between really useful torequired to not screw up in the first few days?
I suspect a lot of new folk will make critical mistakes that prevent them from doing well in this Event, same as the past few Events.
