I, for one, actually like the new events. Sure, you have to play closer attention, click a little more, but I like getting a little extra harv xp. It's not much, but it does add up eventually. The same with the gc -- sure, it takes a little more time and attention to get an inventory full of mums, but I'm also bringing in a little money and a little more xp than I normally would.
Now, I've only played EL for three months, so I suppose I'm not qualified to comment on the impact this change has had on the more experienced players. However, I had just begun a restocking project, harving 10k of every item I am capable of gathering, when this change was implemented. In fact, I didn't know anything about the new events until I logged in to a Green Day and was told it would be going on for the next 72 hours. I would much rather be interrupted to click every few harvs than be completely unable to harv.
So thank you, Radu, for trying to solve a problem in a way that is at least a little beneficial. I have not reduced my goal at all, and will continue picking flowers and smiling at the little jingle in my pocket.
