Golden Octo Event feels TERRIBLE

Ancient player who died long ago and only recently returned to see what happened after my last time playing where MS added a new class called 'Pirate'. Lots of changes and PLENTY OF WONDERFUL THINGS. However....
I'm gonna be honest. I hate it, the Golden Octo feels awful, and the rapid-fire terrible quality RNG simply feels cruel. The odds become ridiculously poor early on, and the rewards do not mean much unless you get lvl 8 or 9. Good luck getting there, as the probability is just asinine. I am no longer entertained and its only been a couple days, at this point as soon as I get lvl 5 I just claim and cash out. It's not worth the frustration of hoping anything comes of it.

Cons:
Boring - we are buried in RNG, adding 100 rolls with poor odds is just AWFUL.
Poor Rewards Scaling - Goes without saying, cheapskates.
Overly Large UI: Staring at that little jerk is annoying, and I'd honestly just quit that event to remove it at this point. and why do we need to press and hold the button? WE DO THIS WHILE MOBBING.
Distracting - Having to press and hold the feed button to roll another Failure is a purely frustrating addition to what flashes across my screen. Yay, totally needed to see the fireworks of failure for the 300th time.
Discouraging - Nothing says confidence like 20+ failures to ascend past level 4 in a row. Wow, so fun..

""PrOs"":
While I am grateful for events, and free things. I just dislike this one. the constant rolling feels like tapper slots, and it distracts from me mobbing to watch a dumb animation over and over again while mostly always reaching a negative result.

I really hope you all are getting better luck than me!
