I'm probably going to be in a minority (of one?) here, but I didn't enjoy this event one bit. Having become thoroughly disillusioned after the ATM/debit card event, when for the first time I used gold all the way and still ended up with only 9 cards I reverted to free openings only for this one. At the end I had 8 chips (a figure which has been pretty consistent through all the events for me). However, whereas with the old style events I would have received three items, this time I got just the one.
I'm happy to accept that some players, presumably including the OP, have large disposable incomes which they are happy to spend in this game, but not everybody is in that happy position and I don't like the increased tendency to regard players as mere cash cows, and if some can't (or won't) compete financially they'll just have to accept second division status. The game surely should be about strategy in building a hood and a strong mafia, and not merely about buying dominance though financial clout. We've had enough demonstration of the corrosive effects of that tendency in the real world in recent years without it becoming the norm in this game.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I enjoyed it to start with but got more and more frustrated as I leveled up (3 times) trying to find boxes and then stupidly spending money (around 200 gold) a few days before the end. Towards the last day I was still balancing on the top 500 mark and went for the 'in for a penny, in for a pound' logic and ended up spending a bit more gold, more than I was comfortable with really (yes I know it was my own choice!)
I'm definitely going to be taking it easy and not joining in on the next events for a while and it sounds like a lot of other people will be too. To be honest a 300 attack gain over 3 levels isn't great anyway!
I dropped 40.00 on gold and finished higher than I expected (230's). The numbers on the lambo justified that much of an expenditure in my mind, so I'm pleased with the event overall. I didn't have any trouble accumulating boxes and ended the event with about a hundred. :-)

People need to keep in mind how this was different than an auction. In an auction you place a bid and will get outbid if somebody wants the item more than your bid. You no longer get the item unless you increase your bid. Sounds familiar right? Okay now imagine the same auction except you place your bid and if you get outbid you still have to pay your bid offering but get nothing unless you increase your bid above what anyone else is willing to pay. Doesn't that sound evil? Well, we unwittingly signed up for that!
Now, imagine that you were going about bidding for an item where multiple people are bidding for the item under those circumstances. The same circumstances meaning that you get nothing if you don't bid high enough. The auctioneer decides that he can get more money if he changes the rules. Now, you will not know what other people are bidding and you blindly have to highball your bid or end up with nothing!. You didn't know about this rule before you started the bidding process. This is just utterly and purely wrong! It is an absolute breach of trust! Why would you EVER trust the auctioneer again??? This is stealing no mater how you rationalize it.
Imagine this was a car or a house you were bidding on. Before someone points out it was a virtual item, it was more than just that. It was something that over 50 people paid more than $700 for!! If the virtual item is NOT real let me remind all that more than $35,000 IS very real! that is what Funzio managed to get out of the top 50 people and did so with a total lack of integrity. Sounds harsh? It should sound harsh.
I love this game, I really do. I hate and despise the people that decided that this was an acceptable thing to do.

I finished 64th with 69 chips. Safes were hard to find throughout the event. With an hour to go I had 60 chips and 150 unopened safes. I was two vaults in at that point with all gold opens, a few timer resets and some stamina and energy refills.
At one hour left I was 38 chips out of 50th and thought I could convert my 150 safes to 50 chips. I spent a vault to open 50, but only got 9 chips. When I saw that, and that the leader board was frozen (which I assumed would cause 50th place to go up by 6-10 chips, I said uncle and went to bed.
Frankly I'm happier about the two vaults I didn't spend than I am angry about the three vaults I wasted. I will say that for me the game has changed in a negative way. Gree's obvious greed is part of it, but so us the lack of new things at higher levels. Give me new thug life loot, more levels, new buildings and some valuable things to do with in game $$, and I could overlook the greed. I had a lot more fun below level 100, and the truth for gold spenders is that there will always be another who can kick your azz

I will say that this event has made me feel a little ill towards the game. On day one I was tied for first by day two I was in 25. I felt the constant pressure to spend if I wanted to stay in the top. It was like watching a bad movie that you hoped would get better. I never would have imagined the amount people would spend to obtain these items. I would never compete in this style of event in the hopes to be top 50! But they sucked me into this one by day one there was no going back!!
This is exactly how I feel although we seem to be the minority. I enjoyed the event because I only spent 650 gold and made the top 500 (174th place). I can see why everyone else is fuming because I would be if I was in their position but I knew it was going to take a massive gold spend to make the top 50 which I wasn't willing to pay this time.
I'm surprised people are complaining about how hard it was to find safes. After the first 48hrs I always had a safe to open and obtained them by fighting other players as I did in every other event.
