I think at this point we're just going to have to disagree. I find FR's constant changing and rapid pace much much more stressful, and that's a large reason why I'm not as active there. I can't work towards anything I want without an event starting and taking treasure and that game takes MORE effort from my day than casual grinding. The events are really Lorwolf's only ask on a player's time, and they seem balanced enough to the rate at which they give out tickets, and enable someone to buy what they need, even without finishing the pebble path. I already have enough tickets though game play to have gotten all the companions that I would need, as well as as least one full set of each apparel.

Like I started previously, I wouldn't be against a permanent task of do other tasks, but at the same time, I also don't really think it's needed, because the event is balanced. It's asking you to be a little more active with the tasks it does offer.

Support. I agree wholeheartedly with the points Pizza has made.

It'd be nice to have something aside from just campaign/seasonal arena to earn tickets with. I know releasing wolves gives tickets too, but new players/nonrich players won't have the funds to blow thousands of pebbles on an extra ticket per wolf. This additional activity is just a nice thing on top for those who play the game with a different playstyle.

I got burned out by Goldsea's event super fast, probably because I participated in both Icerun's and Murkwood's events heavily. I barely even finished the Goldsea path because it just got so painfully boring to go back and forth between just two things on the site. Campaign, arena, campaign, arena, I got so sick of campaign especially! I'm still sick of campaign, and it feels like I'm trudging through it just to open up more tasks for the slightly-more-engaging arena. To bring up the referenced FR, at least you get event currency through interacting with like everything on the site. Bonding with familiars, gathering, hatching nests, trading with Crim, getting items from Pinkerton, bonding with Fiona's familiars, gathering up Arlo tools, coliseum, and I'm pretty sure exalting. On LW you get it through campaign, seasonal arena, or releasing wolves. There's probably one I'm missing, but the point is made regardless. We aren't getting extra currency in fishing trips, or while mining, or any of the professions. Our options for getting tickets on LW are simply more limited. Adding variety to these limited options would be nice.

To me this idea doesn't sound like an intent to speed up getting tickets, but rather an intent to allow a reliable alternative method for getting tickets that doesn't rely on buying pups to release. Of course the grinders would use that to get even more tickets faster, but we can't base the game just around how the grinders act. Casual players should be kept in mind.
