    Now this is truly the best anniversary ever! Although some people could be sad now because of that fact :#

    You are starting to sound like a dearly departed forumite with this repetitive anti-player schtick! Just because not everybody thinks Quandary is the bees knees doesn't equal "sad". Looking forward to the Boss Event which at least gives us a chance to hopefully punch Quandary in the face!

    Remember, Bad thinks his opinion is OBJECTIVE FACT.

    Remember kids, the difference between objective and subjective.
    Subjective: I think I'd like more rewards.
    Objective fact: all community having this game will have a lot and same amount of rewards.
    Now an example of my subjective opinion: I think everyone will enjoy this anniversary.
    Objective fact: everyone will enjoy these valuable rewards for their hard work.
    Remember it You are welcome ;)

    Anti player? If this is objectively the best anniversary ever and if everyone will get a great amount of rewards, as it is, I wonder if the people being negative for their subjective reasons are in fact more in the "against players" side.
    Or in other words, wrong.

    Surely there are more factors that determine something than "Lots of rewards"? And how can players be subjectively wrong? It is their opinion. The quality of an MPQ Anniversary isn't a quantifiable measurement because there are various elements to it. Possibly somebody hates Doctor Bong (they have no soul!) and thinks that "stupid joke characters" ruin MPQ (can't think of where I have heard something like that before! ;) )

    If there is a committee though that I don't know about who give out Annual Oscars for Anniversary and this one is "Best Evah" than I apologise and will of course bow down to the Academy's view.

    And I don't even think there is anything wrong with what we have got!

    Subjective: Rewards are all that matter
    Objective: Not necessarily - for example double iso is not particularly useful to post-iso players

    These were the rewards for October 11th. I noticed the language in the event announcement said quandaries will be "introduced" this month. Do we know if they will continue indefinitely even beyond the contest?

    Remove 20 Red tiles. - 2000 Iso
    Activate any ability 20 times. - 2000 Iso
    Make 45 Yellow matches. - 4500 Iso
    Create a Strike, Attack, or Protect tile 200 times. - 20000 Iso
    Activate any ability 80 times. - 8000 Iso
    Make 195 green matches. - 19500 Iso

    Yeah, but if you are playing this game you'll know that: a custom costume, a 5* chimichanga, a 3* power stone, a 3* time stone, and a vote for a character rebalanced, are, OBJECTIVELY, awesome rewards never gifted in any anniversary.
    (Or not, recently you are beginning earning your grumpy fame and arguing-for-nothing prestige).

    RIP the English language.

    This Anniversary isn't over yet, but I received WAY more 5* covers last year. IMO, last year's vault with the 5* characters in it eclipses what we've received thus far.

    Well we all know why we didn't get that vault again this year.

    Wait is that subjective or objective? ;)

    Subjectively objective.
    Now I need to lie down after those 196 green matches, that was subjectively terrible.

    I wish that reward had a typo and gave 190K ISO instead of 19K

    It sure feels more appropriate.

    I'm so glad that you know the difference between objective and subjective, which is akin to all languages...
    Call me anytime if you have any other issue ;)

    That only took me 90 minutes this morning, so it was easy I thought

    (Lie mode cancel)

    I’m waiting for the final quandary, “send 1000 team ups!”

    For 10 ISO.

    I know someone mentions it every time the devs do this, but the Quandary Quests would be much less annoying if they would just release them all at once, rather than serially, only unlocking after you complete the previous quest.

    195 green matches feels so much worse after you've already completed 5 other monotonous, frustrating tasks and THEN you're given the worst one of all.

    Heck, even if they're "secret" and unknown to us, at least give us credit towards the 195 green matches for each green match we were 'unwittingly' making since the time that day's quests were unlocked! So by the time we get to 195 green matches, we've already coincidentally made 80-100 of them or whatever.

    But like I said, the devs ignore us every time we suggest they not do it the way they're doing it, so they must be purposely making them as tedious and drawn out as possible? I don't really know why though - it's not like the game is advertising based and they get to show us more ads if we spend 3 hours per day in the game instead of 2?

    Probably hoping the characters who we're doing the quest with will die and have to be revived. Or that we'll be spending to chase down the characters who can do the quest faster if we don't have them.

    Why is everyone grinding out these quests and getting worked up about it?

    We are miles ahead of the pace to get even the extended rewards. On top of that, quests that expired days ago are still completing in the background. Yesterday I somehow got credit for one that had me removing 160 red tiles or some number like that. That quest expired 4-5 days ago.

    Just let whatever completes, complete. We are gonna get all the rewards and an extra 10-20K ISO a day isn't worth getting worked up about.
