Man, looking at the different outcomes we got this event, I really have conflicting feelings about it. On one hand, it's easily my fave event so far, by a long shot but then again.. it does feel like two separate themes awkwardly put together.
They could have made an amazing event just based on the cave thing, let us go deeper into the cave and find that chamber of crystals. Give us bats, creepy crawlies, mushrooms, crystals, gemstones and whatnots. Like they did to begin with. And then leave the prehistoric stuff for its own event in the future.
I especially feel like the prehistoric theme was left behind because it was merged with the cave theme. Don't get me wrong, the prehistoric stuff we got was amazing, but there are so much more we could have gotten if it had been its own event. It could basically have been the same idea as this event, just with a prehistoric angle. Let us start at a fossil dig site and let the tokens be fossilized bones and/or teeth etc. And then we found a portal somehow that then lead us to the prehistoric area we got this year. I really, really hope they do another prehistoric event eventually, even if it's gonna take years into the future. There are so many prehistoric creatures out there and it honestly pains me we only got so few this event because it was merged with the cave theme. We only scratched the surface of the different types of dinos and other large reptiles we could have gotten, not to mention all of the different eras that came before the dinos were barely touched upon.
Tl;dr:
I truly loved the event this year, the pets and items were amazing both the cave related ones as well as the prehistoric ones... I just really wish the two themes had been two separate events.
