I agree, I work full time and still get 9-10 gathers done per day. To be honest with these events I spend LESS time playing than normal. 80 stam quick runs are much faster than 40 stam 12-5 farming with an 80 stam SG every 2-3 runs.

Of course if you are running the 10 stam map to make sure you ALWAYS get 40 tickets per 80 stam instead of 90% of the time then that will take longer.
