I have a suggestion/request for the Winter holidays event, might not be a popular one since I know people kinda love exclusive stuff, but here goes:
-It is *incredibly* stressful trying to remember to log on Every Single Day of the month, especially for the big 18 and 24 day drops... both of which I missed, because I had to work, and in my timezone, the rollover happens in my mid-afternoon, so if I don't sneak onto CS between finishing work and sleep (and I am often too exhausted to remember to log on in that short tiemframe until rollover has happened and then big sads) at night, then I don't get to click the adopt button in time.
I started off this year really enjoying the event, trading with people-- then I missed my first day, and it took me AGES to get the few pets I missed. Then I missed another day, then I missed the big super over-hyped drop of pets on the 18th.... by one hour. One hoooouuuurrrrr D: I honestly stopped paying attention and trying now, because it just. Got way too stressful trying to log on in time, and I gave up on completing my wishlist for that glorious little check-mark. So now I just catch what ones I happen to be able to log on and they're up. So I'm missing several days now, but oh well.
Anyhow, I guess my suggestion is; I wish the Winter holiday event releases, were like the Halloween event; they are available the entire duration of the event, and you can still only adopt them a limited number of times. That is SO stress-free, and it's one of the reasons the Halloween event is my favorite. I literally never get stressed out at all during that event, it's just fun and participation is laid back.
I can play the entire event without feeling pressured to log on on a timed and scheduled basis or get penalized for missing a day by missing out on the exclusive pets.
This year was the first time I really tried my hand participating in the advent trading thread; it was fun, mostly, aside from the above-mentioned stress. I'd really love to experience that same fun, but without the stress.
