You still haven't addressed why newbies can't take breaks during star/collection events, or why you even need a week to do a day of catching up.
(Protip: affection is not something you need to max ASAP).

Seriously, your argument essentially boils down to "the devs are tools because they won't let newbie/free players have as big of a stockpile as veteran/paying players". I don't need to say how ridiculous that sounds.
