I was lucky I got my decoration, my partner did not get it by winning it. My partner ended up paying gold for the last fireflies, with gold.
But getting angry at everyone that replies to you, only makes them keep responding to your arguments and that just makes a big circle, that goes around and around. So I ask once again for you to step back, take a breath and please stop arguing with each other. You can have your say without the anger at each other.

Asid, you absolutely can finish the event in time, even with time to spare without using gold. Many, many players do.
Take a look at your farm and see how you can improve it to enable you to achieve event tasks more easily. Much of this game is about strategy. Here are my tips:
1. Prepare for events - as someone already pointed out, they begin on Mondays. Don't have full stores of animal feeds - then you can make more on the task that provides fireflies from the mill. Likewise, stock up on poop and leaves so you can make extra fertilizer and humus as these also give you more fireflies.
2. Don't begin the event until you refresh your memory of each task. That way you won't go and sell all your apples only to find that task 1 needs branches from the orchards, for example. As I have done before, lol. Check the forum to see what the tasks are.
3. Let all the processes wait for harvesting until the event begins, so you are off to a headstart. Wait on harvesting on those things that you will soon need for an upcoming task.
4. Overnight run the processes that takes the longest time, eg cow feed, fertilizer, humus, wheat.
5. If you have space, build temporary production facilities to make a task quicker. I keep several blocks on my farm to allow for temporary buildings that are used for events/projects and missions. It's a huge help!
6. Try to especially do this for the first several tasks, that way it will leave you plenty of time to accomplish the final tasks which often require high number collections.
7. For each task know where your best odds are for getting the collectables, eg fireflies, paintings etc. Again, read the forum for this.
8. If you are not having much luck, change what you are doing for a while. This does two things - first it may 'reset' the odds, [not 100% sure on this but have read this in a thread, and definitely worth trying] and secondly, it can stop you getting overly frustrated - works for me. Others have found logging off, clearing the cache can also improve drop rates - try it. It won't hurt.
9. Keep checking the forum threads relating to the events - other players post very valuable tips.
I have found these strategies help me, I always finish with time to spare, usually 3-4 days. Sometimes when my real life is busy, I finish on the last day, without gold.
Re GGS - of course they want you to buy gold! They are not a charity, this is a business! Check the company info - they employ hundreds of people, imagine how much the wages are, not to mention overheads, and naturally they want to make a profit. I think we are lucky that we can play the game for free if we want to.
The more you level you need to have good production facilities... At first when i have not understood the key part... i thought its unfair...
but now as i had some experience and was able to run my farm well i will say the game is well balanced.
As for this fairy tale event is considered apple orchard is the key player. The more orchards you have the quick you will finish the game.
As you read from the first post you might find i am contradicting myself in some months.. that because now i am every much experienced as so i know what i did wrong with the game play in my past month.
I finished all the events but one due to some issues with the power shut down in our area... All this i have done with only one coop. But the main part i do is... I will build temporary orchards and others to make it quick...
Its all planning thats the main thing behind this... IF you are good at planning you will finish the event well ahead of time...
IF you feel the event is not giving much collectibles during then end of the event.. why wait till the last to finish... Use your experience and try to finish before a day.
This is much better than the first run.. since now you know what is ahead and can plan properly. there are lots of tips in the events thread to help better planning.
Sometimes on the last task I will harvest for awhile and then just buy out the rest with gold. Just depends how much time I have left or the mood I am in!
However, I do understand that these events can be frustrating.
I agree! If you can complete the branches and apple tasks quickly it gives you the time you will need for the fireflies which does take about 1 1/2 - 2 days.
