Some people have said that the donation system announced today wouldn't be fair for people who can't play enough to save up the eggs that need to be donated to unlock all the tiers. We don't know the total amount each person needs to donate, but as an example let's say it's 100 eggs total to unlock all the tiers for each player.

My suggestion is that if someone hasn't unlocked all the tiers at the end of the month an option should appear for them to donate a percentage of their total egg count, maybe 5-10% total. So if you have only been online enough to collect 80 eggs and can't unlock all the tiers with the time you have left you donate 4-8 eggs instead and you still have 72-76 left to spend.

I think leaving this option unavailable until the end of the month will encourage players to donate normally throughout the month just so they can unlock the tiers for themselves earlier, but it also lets people who only play infrequently participate and get event items. If it's a percentage rather than a set amount it will also encourage players to donate earlier in the month instead of at the very end, since anyone that's been playing a lot and saving up eggs will lose a lot more eggs by donating a percentage instead of a flat amount.

If anyone has any more ideas to add to this or wants to point out something I've overlooked please let me know!

To be honest, 125 EEs for; daily free xp, NCL's and ability to make your king 2 years older/younger; it's not that big amount, and that's coming from a person who uses maybe 1-2 energy bars per day.

+ the thing is, you don't need to open those. You can make a choice between paying for those features or well, not.

So basically I would get it free, since my average egg count right now is a solid zero xD I have to donate literally every egg I find so I don't even have any.

As a very casual player with too much responsibility in rl to explore more than once a day most days, i support this. I've literally had to donate every egg I've found, plus my eggs from last year, and i still haven't unlocked even the second tier of the egg shop for myself. It's frustrating to know that i may not be able to unlock the third tier by the end of the month at this rate and then all of my donated eggs will have been wasted since i literally only care about accessing the primordial spring.

No support, I work a full time job and I was able to come on for a few hours each day and I now have it fully unlocked.

@ember that doesn't mean everyone else is as fortunate. I'm still only on the first tier and I can't even hope to unlock anything else in the near future without abandoning practically everything else I wanted to get out of this event.
