We're crying out for an update, and we get a sports event from people who call it, 'Soccer.' It starts the week after the season ends to boot.

he may choose to not participate. but he can't choose to not have some 1 in 10 whacks or whatever not give him gold or gems or fruit... but give the sports supplies instead.

I am a little dismayed at the "We usually aim for 3 big content updates a year". I had thought from past history it was more like 4. no biggie either way for me, I love the flux now.

I disagree there completely. I have played every event other then the spring 2012 and part of the Fourth of July 2012 cause I caouldn't. I have large event ribbons for every event since. I have every achievemeny for all events since except part of the 2012 4'th of July. and I have never spent a single dime on the events. I on occasion have bought Pets when those were offered, sometimes during events, but only when the really discounted ones.
Like Erika says, to skip an event is only to hurt yourself. It takes nothing away from playig at all cause you can play where you need to be. You gain xp unless like you and I you are maxed out, but so what. BAnd you get from 5 to 10 large energy packs which alone is worth it. plus the event ribbon of course is great, my max energy is +700 or so above notmal max simoly for all my event ribbons.

I don't understand your dislike of events. I do understand on the other hand, newbies or near newbies and their possible dislike of events cause they seem so daunting.

If you want constructive, then I'd rather have an update than an event - particularly as we've just come off the spring gardening event, and the St Patrick's Day (you're not even Irish by your own admission)before that.

you can buy it for summer sports tokens, ask the npc on the event area where there is a money sign... may not appeal as much to you as it appeals to me

It's hard to understand how somebody can get to level 280 without realizing that monthly events are... monthly. Since we get thirteen per year, they're actually closer to every four week, although the timing shifts around as necessary. To complain about the existence of these periodic events is just odd.

If you're concerned about the effort/attention going into the events rather than a different content update, maybe you should complain about the enhancement to each event over the prior year's version. Not that I'd complain... I love the fact that they grow a little each year.

3 major content updates a year is weak,
4 will be ideal,
5 will be great,
6 will be a lot of work, and
7 will be perfect.

3 major content updates a year is not the norm. In 2012 and 2013 there was 5 major content updates, in 2014 there was 4. So far the norm is between 4 and 5 major content a year.

What are you talking about Raymond? BW2 is about 3 years old, and the average major content updates is between 4 and 5. If CNE are aim for 3 major content updates a year, that is about a 4 month between each new contents. You stated in a previous post that "Even with this current flux ability I fervently hope that the next zone actually will come out in 2 months like it's been for a long time and hopefully not the 3 months of the time before last and definitely not the 4 months we were just subjected to." If there is no new update within the next 14 days, it will be 4 months since the last update.
