I say this because there are so many players with negative attitudes toward an event that might be a bit more challenging than what we've seen so far.
To be honest, I don't think this event or any previous events are supposed to be completed by all the players. And by completing the event I mean that you've got all the outfits, illustrations, bonus gifts etc. What is the possibility that everyone would have the skills/time/money/chance to buy GC to complete it 100%? Everyone participating the event however will get some rewards. Everyone is still given the chance to complete it fully, but not everyone is going to succeed. You play well, you win. That's how pretty much everything works in real life too. By succeeding in something you're likely rewarded better than others.
It is possible to complete this event fully without using GC. If you use all 17 days to play all the games possible and get average scores, you'll get most of the rewards from the event, if not all of them. And if you use help with the dialogues, the chances to complete it are even greater.
@Revel
I totally understand where you're coming from but unfortunately I must say I've had quite a different experience. *^*
So far, for all of the past 3 events that were similar to this one (I think it was 3? More or less around that number) I've been able to 100% complete them without the use of GC/maana/potions with little to no difficulty. I received all illustrations, unlocked all the clothes, and all the extra gifts/eggs~ O w O
Never before in my experience has an event been unfinishable (not a word but I couldn't find something better) or unattainable (a word xD) like this event before!
I always knew I could 100% complete each event under the knowledge/assumption (in my experience, at least) that they could be completed.
Even if players try to "play well" to win, this event is majorly relying on a difficult (near impossible for me and players it's non-inclusive towards, which is a staggering majority) game for the event to be completed! >_<
I don't think this event "might be a bit more challenging than what we've seen so far", it is on a whole other level. With the previous events, the event could at least be completed as long as players put in a some time and work (and 1% luck). Even with this event, I would've been fine if it had a probable chance of completion (even if I didn't fit into that percentage and only got close to completion), but at this rate it has a little to no chance of success without GC for most players. No matter how much time or work I put into this, with it's current design, I will likely not ever be close to completing it. You don't think this event is supposed to be completed by all players without GC? That's fair. But this event is likely going to be completed by no players except MAYBE 15% or less of the population which is an extremely low completion rate in comparison to the previous events- forget "all".
If the team just upped the ante to the extreme, with the idea in mind that free-players won't get all the items, I'm fine with that. That's they're right as a game to do whatever they want. I'm rather miffed though, that they provided a pretense that all events could be 100% completed (through the past events, that could be 100% completed). Is it partially my fault for expecting Beemoov to continue a trend that they themselves created? Correct. Did they themselves also build these expectations? Also correct.
In the end I'm still a little frustrated, but if not completing the event was the idea they had in mind for this, mission accomplished. I'd respect that decision.
*repetitiveness is repetitive*
But if they intended to make this event beatable like all other events preceding it, Beemoov still has some work to do.
Sorry I went a bit crazy with fonts on my crazy rant~ x3
All respect to you and your opinion @ Revel (and @Arianni too)~! This is just a relaying of my opposing experience with what this game has given me so far. I hope I didn't offend anyone or spread negativity!

If I did, that surely was not my intent! I want everyone to have a nice day, and I also want to have a nice day~
Who knew a unicorn could make such an irresistible expression~?
