500 tickets wasn't as easy as 7 medals on the current event, but in the same vein 24 medals is a lot easier than 4000 tickets. The last event was harder for everyone across the board.

Well "hard" may be the wrong word since it just took time, the Ultimate Map was as easy for Veterans as the Medal Events, they just had to run it more than once.

Cobbling together a bare minimum of tickets with low-powered team was not in any capacity hard. I'd even venture out and say it would be possible to perfect the Lena (2 000 tickets for max skill and slots) without clearing most of event maps. Remember, the first maps offered ticket-to-stamina rates comparable to latter) Just, it would have been extremely time consuming.
Thankfully, autorun feature means you can just start the map and leave it alone in background)

indeed it was time consuming in the fct it took all my stamina for about 12 days (I run most advanced gardens too) to get 4k had 2k in about 6 days

That's 2 main log ins morning and evening 3 on weekends

Actual time spent probably 1h a day slackly as I do other bits so it's not constant bback to back runs - sure I've been here since 1st event, 350k total power....but that's not needed to auto mission 3, or anywhere near....

To clarify, nothing in FKG is 'hard.' There are, however, degrees of ease which does make some things 'harder' than others in comparison. It is perfectly fine to compare the relative difficulties of two easy events and declare one harder than the other. It bothered me to some extent to have to run the event maps over and over to get 4000 tickets, when the non-ticket rewards were so lackluster compared to normal gameplay. Compared to devoting just part of one day per phase on a normal event, or at most a couple of days per phase for a skill/dressbloom farming event, this event required much more of our stamina to maximize the reward. And, had Nutaku not screwed the pooch on the voting portion, the event would have required ALL of our stamina for the full extent of the event to get the most out of it.

Personally I much more prefer those non-grindy events. Rather use that AP on Dragon, Manyus and Garden then on boring event grind that takes shit ton of time to complete.

It was possible to get to 4k tickets without recharging stamina on a team around 100k power. It took pretty much all of the stamina for the two weeks, but putting together 2k for maxed lechenaultia should be doable without issue even if you can't clear the last missions (and relied on a good Helper squad for ?-3 and ?-7).
