Yeah. I'm hardly ever on the boards at all so I don't collect many bundles, but I spend a lot of energy on explore.

This has been bothering me for daaaays!! I've been working on breeding a 1% fert girl today and haven't gotten to explore. I feel like I've missed out so much, because the currency drop rates are so low that I need to use all of my energy for explore if I want to get anything at all this month.

Support! I noticed that my evil account wasn't getting as many StB as I opted to attack instead of pick other options on the event encounters.. which apparently doesn't give you any currency even though the other options do

I think the wncounters that do give the currency, needs to also give currency for the battles.

That is 1 tweak I would love to see, but not so much for it to be every encounter gives currency, december has tons of encounters, and plus it makes the items stay value even during the event

Yeah I agree Fading! I'd love to see just a couple, like the ones that don't give ANYTHING, to give stink bugs. Some give food or sb, and those can stay as-is :)

Support! By this time in October, I had around 800 BB. I only have 457 stb this month, and I've been exploring on both accounts like crazy.

I think I've collected about 800StB this month, between both accounts...this month is hard to get currency! Sept I was told was also extremely difficult, but I averaged about 50JB a day and ended up with 3k JB by the end. This event...it's near-impossible without lambs/bulls/boosts to get encounters that give you any StB worth your time and items. There's so many encounters that give you absolutely nothing, and it's frustrating to see them over and over again, and then get the stinky lion...for 1 StB. Even if all they did was make the encounters drop 2-3 instead of 1-3, or gave a few of the totally passive encounters 1-2, or added some StB to the fight encounters, it'd be marginally easier without seriously devaluing anything in the shop. I really feel for anyone who can't be active this month due to winter/family/holidays, because this is...rough stuff.

I support this suggestion as well. I know december is a busy month as in with RL, but the low drop rate at encounters is really getting painful here. I have spent way too many full energy bars to get 0 or 1 StB even after they adjusted the encounter rates. It's a good idea for a begin, but encounters alone sadly don't mean anything if they still end up dropping nothing in return. Maybe some of the other not as crucial encounter rewards could also be turned into SB to make collecting them a bit more bearable? Like instead of 5 SB you get 3 Stink Bugs.

Another suggestion would be to lower the event shop prices to adjust them to the drop rates and time needed to get them.

Ummm. The fact that I have 900 bugs for other events saved up after spending equal amount of time exploring and that's after purchases is a tribute to how absolutely ridiculous the drop rate for December is. Look I get that people can poop in dens and it gives you what, 1 StB maybe for each poop. But here's the truth. Despite how many users there are unless you do give aways you aren't bound to get past 100 gifts and even then you're lucky. I tested it out i left my side account to gather bundles without any assistance and I got a whole whopping 62 bundles.

The fact is that the event currency doesn't drop at a rate that means people can get everything they want from the shops. If you're a newbie to the game. Shame. If you're not someone who chats in main chat. Shame. If you're not someone who HAS GMO cows to giveaway out of your ears. Shame.

I may sound extremely hostile about it but this is the first december where I really want to get stuff and I absolutely can't bring myself to spend my GB using someone else's hard earned beetles to buy them? Just because the event is in favor of popularity or who can post on the forums the most and I think this draws away a lot from what the events are supposed to be.

And that leaves the rest of us to scrounge explore events to make up a meesly 50 beetles but wait. Half the encounters don't even drop so once again shame. It's not a big ask. I don't think it is and judging by this response majority of people don't either

This post has been active for nearly 2 years and still hasn't been addressed.

I love that the event is interactive with other players but there still needs to be a lot of explore traits that build it up and unfortunately December doesn't have that. It doesn't have to have a story line but it does require a bit extra umph.

I know Mods and admin are probably exhausted at this time of year but you have an entire community giving you ideas and giving you suggestions and reporting issues with events or plot falls that can be adjusted yp sate the never sated public one more year and I think just upping the drop count would be a major help
