Eventful Brewing

         Another week of hobby brewing has past. I didn't reach the top spot for Busy Bee this time, but who cares. I have already gotten World's First as far as I'm concerned. Having some free ingredients is better than none. Like I said last time, I plan on staying free-to-play for the foreseeable future. On one hand, I guess regular events are here to stay. The calendar seems to be full.

         On the flip side, it was a nice surprise to see I made it on the Top Manufacturer list. That's the raw number of beer brewed and claimed. In some ways, this last week's rewards were much greater than the week before. Even though I didn't get better quality ingredients, I got more of them.

Exploitation?

         This is the current gap between the "busy bees". It's kinda weird how I'm lagging behind despite of clearing all the quests. I raised the question in the game's Discord some time ago. Turned out, I'm not the only one with the same question.

         It would appear that some people most likely had quests from the previous day left (or in progress). The game only counts finished quests "claimed" towards the event. So, you could rack up a lot of extra points that way.

         I know @rollie1212 described it as cheating, but is it though? Does the team plan on patching the "exploit"? If so, how do they plan on doing it? Since the Busy Bee event description says it would one day include Tasks, it might not matter. It would become more fair and competitive with more features released.

         The only question would be the incentives. Right now, the sneak preview in your brewery shows it would cost 400 CBM to post tasks. I hope that's worth it. It seems like a hefty amount in the game's current state. But, I remain hopeful. I hope you are too!
