People are rightfully angry at this. Personally, I can't play every day and when I do get a chance, I don't have hours to spend on the game. Events with daily login events and "stay on for this amount of hours to get this prize" are chores, not fun. The limit means that because I do not play every day, I will not be able to get the prizes. Events should be playable, even if you have life obligations.They limited the number of coins you got from a reward box that's absurdly common anyway. That's hardly "spitting in the players' faces".
That's fine you dislike grinding, I get it. But in turn, do you actually LIKE having an event destroyed with restrictions such as this? They took it to insulting extremes. They could have done this more tastefully is my ultimate point. What they did was spitting in the player's faces, and I know I'm not alone with that feeling.
Either way I suggest people calm down and relax a little. Getting irrationally angry solves nothing.
