I'm officially out. People on the Reddit board figured out that this event is impossible unless you have all the required characters at level 10 and play almost constantly. I kept plugging away anyway and spent some money on gems as a boost (I have all the needed characters, most of them at level 10 and only earned 25 lanterns at the end of the second tower!). The only thing I don't have is Mulan, and I figured at least I'd get her when the third tower came up. And then I saw they were charging FIVE THOUSAND Mal coins just for Mulan! The other characters have been 700 before now. I'm done. I'll maybe buy a legendary chest some time in the future.

This is getting beyond ridiculous. It's Disney; I'm not surprised they're fleecing their customers in a blatant money grab, but come on! All this recent "balancing" by increasing the level up tokens to astronomical levels? Throwing useless tokens in the mystery chests and keeping us from getting decorations we can exchange for Merlin potions? And now creating a virtually impossible tower challenge? I wouldn't be so annoyed if I didn't already spend money on this game, which I feel on principle is fine when you're enjoying something free as much as I do this. But it almost feels like the devs are seeing how far they can push us financially before we give up playing entirely.

I think our only option as consumers is to protest by collectively refusing to participate in these impossible challenges, maybe even refusing to spend money on the game at all during these events in order to send a message. I know it would never happen, but I get a warm, Les Miserables feeling at the thought.
