I’ll copy my post from a while back, which got hidden in a different thread, but I think it deserves digging up, and so does the entire discussion in it as well.

We should now stop for a moment and think WHY. Why is this all taking so long?
event medals were taken away - battles take longer
we have to play more battles altogether - and the difficulty spike is the same as before, so we play more battles with higher difficulty levels - and so, battles take longer
in ToD - the forced use of event weapon is BAD BAD BAD, effectively forcing us to create a 3-troop team - making it all take longer, again
in invasion - the number of towers to kill, even with score doubling, is absurdly high;
in Journey - the players are actively punished by lower score when the battles get harder - and now we need to play more battles than in the pre-7.0 version
the only event which hasn’t suffered all that much thanks to how scoring is designed is Raid Boss, but it still takes many, many difficult battles per person to reach rewards.

Dear devs. We are people. We have lives. Work. Friends. Children. Parents. We have reached the point where people have to start choosing: friends in real life or friends in the game. And no, buying headstart offer to ease the grind a little bit isn’t a solution for most, even for those who do spend money on your game.
These new rules in guild events are not just unfriendly to those guilds that didn’t previously complete the events, they are out of touch with reality and with how much time people can dedicate to what is, for all intents and purposes, a match-3 game with extra twists.
Just to add on it - WEs now suffer the same fate: longer battles, more battles.
This is not our day job, this is entertainment…
