The devs' choice to give out additional crystals/cards as event rewards appears to be actually increasing dissatisfaction, because of the nature of the event. Although this seems a clear failure to satisfy the top 1%, I'm not convinced the same applies to the global playerbase. (Of course, it's not a great situation to be in regardless.)

People might still prefer a different event, but they wouldn't be so angry about it. I'm not sure I like that choice, between doing something I hate, and just not doing anything at all. It sounds kinda like being forced to vote for either Hillary or Trump. Can't I vote for Bernie instead? I like this game! I want to play it! Is it too much to ask that it presents me with some mode that I enjoy playing?

I enjoy it as an event, no worse than the others. I already tried this suggestion, which was met with noxious fumes being spewed in my direction and borderline personal attacks. The fact that the "Optional" part of objectives are being treated as "Mandatory" is a clear indication as to the degenerate gaming habits of some of the players. While I agree that the objectives don't synergize very well, the fact that they are not mutually exclusive has given the tryhards open grounds to dominate the leaderboard. Anyone competing for those top spots are now racing the tryhards and it is disgusting them. I enjoyed this event, because I didn't stress out about objectives. Since I'm guaranteed to not win anyways due to the event start time and node refresh mechanics, I don't suffer what seems to be the only drudgery of this event: obtaining all objectives. I think they need to scale back the requirements, 4 wolves/vampires + 6 eldrazi. Try it out, see what happens. If it's still drudgery, adjust the numbers. But you can't just delete this event after it's already been implemented, that would be a complete waste of resources.

I don't think the intent is to get BOTH objectives - aim for one or the other. I always get the Eldrazi objective when playing Blue or Green (although I prefer to use Koth in the Red/Green slot because he is just so powerful and finishes games quickly)
