You guys usually have turning in multiple groups of 10 items at once during events (fireworks, bbq meats, etc...) but for the carnival that option's sorely lacking. Especially since playing out all your tickets takes a long time going through the animations. Should include a play 5,10,20,50 rounds option.

been discussed somewhere else but can't find it.

This is only my opinion, but I think the Developers have it exactly right and all you people asking for multiple groups have it totally wrong in this case.

They are smart you know.
They have had multiple groups for things where multiple groups make sense.
You go to a firework show and they light ONE fuze and the show then flows along a programmed path.
You go to a barbeque and they do not light the grill and cook one hot dog at a time, they put as many as the grill can hold.
You go to a carnival and I have never ever seen the barkers allow you to toss 10 balls at once or whack 10 moles at once, not ever.
Just think it through.
And have a little patience, I timed it and it does not take a long time to do 400 tickets, 100 each at the 4 games, just a few minutes.

The ball toss, which seems the fastest at about 10 seconds per cycle, would take 12-13 minutes to burn through 300 tickets; that's a long, and boring, amount of time to spend repeatedly redeeming tickets.

Also, why would we care what happens in a real carnival when it comes to redeeming BW2 event tickets? The animations are only entertaining for the 4 different variations each booth has, after that it's grinding. A real carnival game would be fun because it actually depends on skill as well as luck.

And why would you bring up the devs' intelligence? My guess was they just forgot to update the programming from last year's carnival.

what's more boring is only being able to buy 2 or 3 bonus prize packs, then have to go use that power and mana then come back to buy 2 or 3 more, ad nauseum...
but me, I love it, I get a way to burn and waste hundreds of power and mana all at once for some meaningless achievement unrelated to the event.

Thank you for the feedback Marc. Your observations are something we are considering for future events.
