I just realized why this event felt different to me. We didn't have the thing where you had to trade one type of token for a different type of token which I remember most prominently in the Fae event (You got herbs from the banner, you could then trade it in for dairy tokens, and then you could trade in the dairy tokens for the wood carving tokens (I think)). I saw a couple (barely any) of other people also mentioning the lack of ACTUAL "Banner Pets" where they "came" from the actual banner at the bottom of the page through special tokens from the banner i.e; the Carnival and the Cave event: Lost teddy bear from the banner to trade in for that cat pet, the Apology letter from the banner that you could trade in for an energized crystal which you could trade in for the dragon).
So basically, I think the reason why I felt like this event was easy for me (I know it wasn't for everyone T^T) was mainly because the token system this year was pretty simple, no added hoops you had to jump over. As many others have said, I appreciate an "easy" event, although I wish there was more depth in the "game play" with the token system like past events-- but alas! I still really enjoyed this event and LOVED the new features used in this event with the polls (which I don't know if it really affected the event (?), would have been cool if it did), AND TOTORO CHASE. I love seeing new things these events experiment with.
Just felt like sharing my feelings, although a bit late after everyone else has chimed in pffft T^T
