    whatever it is, I sure hope you have to actually hack to do it and not just creatively screw around with the game, because that's the only reason i can see to stop it. we're probably going to need more days, though

    Not really? you could technically complete the event (5 star all) in just a day

    that must have been the exploit
    they'll probably change it so it would be impossible to get the medal without playing ten hours a day until the last day.

    Probably force you to buy the previous grade's medal before you can buy the medal of your current tier.

    You don't buy the medals, you get them for free when you rank up.

    I also don't think that being able to complete the event in a day is an "exploit". It was designed to be a lot more time-consuming than that, but it's expected that the community would share information and get to the point where it can be done quickly. The event would have to be completely redesigned to make that impossible.

    I assume there was a way to get more coins or exp (does the event even give exp?) than you should be able to, and hopefully they can fix that quickly.

    That's true, this event does give exp.
