There are other people getting the prizes there. I'm perfectly fine with it. As I stated if they made events "exclusive"(you can only join one) I would have been ok with that. For sure would have not complained cause "OMG I can't get all the prizesssss". You really could do with some of that reading carefully too. That wasn't even directed at you. Just a general game theorish/economics observation. So to summarise your problem with double events : 1) your coalition specifically urged you not to play both if you don't want to 2) you do it anyway. 3) complain you didn't want to do it, but felt obligated to your coalition despite (1) stating you shouldn't feel so. Wut? That just tells me you shouldn't be playing both events. It certainly doesn't tell me that it's a bad idea. A lot of coalitions were basically resigned to never being competitive. This double event gave them a ray of hope. Sorry, it's not a bad idea just because you had less fun playing in a way everybody told you not to. I'm with edhdad. More events = better. More free stuff for everyone, and more people feel involved. Why would anyone be against that?

Nobody complains that Quick Battle events are going on at the same time as Coalition events. Nor that Story Mode is still there. If you can choose to play or not play Quick Battle, couldn't you also choose to play or not play Saheeli? Or at least not play her with 100% pedal-to-the-metal effort? As far as I'm concerned, they could have events every hour. People are always complaining about stingy drop rates and prize payouts. But then they double or triple the number of prizes being given out in a certain week, and people complain about that as well. No one likes to admit it, but everyone prefers if only they could get top rewards. What value is your favourite chase mythic if everyone could get it? Events every 6 hours would be great and shut so many complaints about timezones.

It even goes against the position your coalition is taking. That's all fine and good. People like to do their own things sometimes. But that's your thing, and the problems it generates is your problem. There isn't a problem with the event because you're finding it less enjoyable. You're doing it to yourself. You're complaining the whip is too hard when you're flogging yourself.

I'm sure your martyrdom will be appreciated by your coalition buddies but honestly, it's not worth the trouble. Just find a coalition that fits your playstyle and suffer no more. Nobody is going to build you a monument for your sacrifice.

Nobody is going to build you a monument for your sacrifice. Actually I was aiming at becoming a saint, so the sacrifice is a good start. Anyways as I predicted the end result was more or less the same for me and my coalition. I think it did not change much for most players beside basically doubling the prizes. A change in quantity, not quality prize wise. That of course reflects the simple fact that doubling the events is a change of quantity. Anyways I learned something for sure: I'll plan better my efforts should this repeat I still hope it doesn't but can see why some people(mostly new players) really liked it as a boost toward collection improvement cause for them each pack has more value.
