The last FIVE carnival chests I've opened have contained the same piece of gear for Mister the Monkey as their only gear. Given the rate at which carnival tickets are earned, it's now mathematically impossible for me to get both the "get gear in all three slots" achievements for the two carnival crusaders before the event ends without paying you money. I have zero objections to paying money to support the game -- and I have -- but I won't do it because you've made it impossible to complete something without paying.

I am, unsurprisingly, very frustrated.

If future events are going to have a "fill all gear slots" achievement, special event chests should HEAVILY prioritize gear for a slot you don't already have filled. I'd even go so far as to say that special event chests should weed out duplicate gear until you've filled all the gear slots.

Oh my God, I just got the same piece of gear for the SIXTH time.

Seriously, the more I think about this, the more annoyed I get. I don't mind a bit of luck and randomness in things, but making an event impossible to complete if the random number generator doesn't smile upon you is really poor planning. I was enjoying the Carnival at first, but now I'm just irritated and disappointed by it. There isn't even any motivation for me to continue playing it as opposed to playing the regular objectives: there's literally no way for me to win it, so why should I bother?
