I think the main thing is the cost of the cards. That and the SEC that made it easier. This time, they didn't give a 'free' SEC and they increased the cost of all three new cards. That makes this event harder than the last one if you want all three.

I still like the shorter events like this. I can't keep up with events that require attention every 10-30 minutes for longer than a few days.
