It all comes down to whether you want to / can do an event that week or not, the choice is yours.^^
As for the island, I like it, but don't like putting all my other build projects on hold for several weeks, and I would be happier if the island didn't come back as often. For that reason, I probably will skip the island this time so I can continue upgrading my other farms.

Agree and love getting free stuff while i am working my farm..not like i wouldn't be doing farm work anyways.
Since the event frequency has increased to all-events-all-the-time, I have skipped three of them - UFO, fairy tale & this round of nature. I only did the Hawaii event because I'd never done it before and really had to press to finish. I simply don't have hours and hours to play every day and I like my farm the way I've built it, I don't want to have to build & demolish just for certain events.
It also seems like lately there have been several things running at once, which may not actually place an additional burden on the farm but sometimes it *feels* like it to me. Trying to collect candy & keep track of an event & remember I have a horse & fill the ship and and and it just gets to be a bit much sometimes, IMO.
So you know, there is always a flip side to every situation.
No offence, but I don`t see the logic there - You have a thread where 5 people like them and 2 people don`t, so how can you say GGS is not listening to what the players want?..... Or is it just that they are not listening to what YOU want? :S
several of us would like the would be a few dayes between the theme events.
But in both my coops I'm nearly the only player who read and write in forum, and I'm sure there is a lot of players out there in other coops who not read and write in forum.
I do not like to play the events back-to-back, so I don't. But I do like the events and do like their rewards, so my solution is: I play them once every fortnight, like before. I play 1 week and skip the next week... and skip even more if that suits me and my agenda best.
Indeed there is going on very much on and around our farms nowadays (like starsie says), and I refuse to play more hours than I do already (do have quite a busy life next to my computer). So I farm my 3 farms like normally (keep prioritizing them always) and the rest of the surrounding buildings I just play in slow mode. I played the island 2 times and it was fun, but I think I will skip it next time, maybe only grow oranges or so. Still have enough shells, horseshoes, tropical seeds, so no worries there.
Those are the choices I've made to suit all changes and additions the game has undergone lately, to my playing style and taste (for me it has to remain a game; no chore, no job - just a game!). This works fine for me and still liking the game! ^^
There was also another thread which had a lot of posts about the frequency of major events, where more players chimed in. However as it was pointed out, only a tiny fraction of players are likely to be active posters on the forums, so you can't really use that as a measure of popularity (unless of course you get pages and pages of yays or nays, like we saw recently with the no-buy-button "test"
So you want a week in between events?...then play them every other week. I don't get what the problem is because you have the option to do that..you don't need GGS to change anything for you to play that way. Seriously, i don't get it.
Is there a reason you are directing your reply to me and not the OP? Because nowhere in what you quoted did I say anything like that.
But hey, I'll give you a reply for free anyway. GGS already changed things - they changed the timeline for major events. Some people like it, some people don't, and I bet a lot of people don't give a care one way or another.
So there you go.
When the events came every other week, I used to get very bored during the break week. So I vote for weekly events.

By introducing the Horse Ranch GGS took away a week long break for things like upgrades and other team stuff in order to create more anxiety and give players more reason to buy and spend gold.
It's a game of choices guys and GGS is very adept at making us make choices that they know a majority of the choices we make will be in GGS' financial favor. The fault is not with GGS, most of the time it is with us and the choices we make because of how much we individually allow GGS to manipulate us.
