(Feedback) Displeasure with the Consecutive Win Event

First, let me say that I am fully aware that there is no real gain from winning five consecutive battles. I know that once I complete the missions to simply play games in the event, I have earned everything that matters and do not NEED to continue playing.

That said, I feel like this specific event, which only lasts for a single week as opposed to other events, is genuinely not enjoyable. With the other event where we play against other players, you just need to win a few times over the course of the event. This is thoroughly enjoyable, because it isn't a competition or anything stressful. "Oh, I'm on a win streak, nice" is what it feels like to win. "Oh, I lost that one haha" is what it feels like to lose. It's just a fun way to spend time and motivate players to play against one another more often, and that's good. Aside from getting free cards/hourglasses every so often with the Chansey picks and bonus picks, this is the sort of event that I want more of. Simple, enjoyable battles where people use silly decks like Ditto and Lickitung or oddball stuff like Porygon and Florges. Nobody is in dire need to win, nobody is trying too hard; everyone is just playing for fun. Sure, you run into decks that are overbearing, such as the current major opposition like Gyarados Ex, but you run into plenty of fun decks and players just having a fun time. We could play like this leisurely, and not miss out on anything as long as we just played a bit here and there. This is the sort of gaming spirit that we should have.

This event however, where you need a consecutive win streak, is not nearly as enjoyable. Most players will be looking for the "best" decks to use, going out of their way to use cookie cutter builds from other players and external sites. You don't run into players who use oddball or fun decks anywhere near as often. It feels horrible to see yourself having a decent win streak, only for one incredibly tiny error to cause you to lose it all. Be it major or minor, this induces stress. Frustration, anger, and varying levels of displeasure wash over as you watch that 3 or 4 go back to zero.

Winning in this event obviously doesn't give anything of "value", and only puts a little ribbon on your profile. I'm very well aware of that. My issue with this however is that regardless of how lacking in value it is, it hurts when you miss out. It's painful when you put in the time and effort, only for it to not pay off. It absolutely stings when you put all your effort into actually trying, only to get kicked down again. It's there, therefore it's worth trying; that's what I thought with the first event like this, but I was unable to reach that fifth win back then because every day, I would keep losing because I either could not draw what I needed, or my opponent simply had a better hand. Things ENTIRELY out of my control. That's not fun. Sure, I helped someone continue their win streak, which is…nice I guess? But it's not nice for me or whoever else is on a similar bad luck streak. It's so bad that I've just given up on trying already. "But you COULD get it done" isn't as nice as "But you CAN get it done", and I'm NOT going to get it done. I don't want to deal with that stress anymore.

Please, consider never doing consecutive win events again. Bring more events like the other player versus player event that just requires a certain amount of wins over the course of the event. Or more bonus picks. Or more outbreaks. Or more CPU themed decks. Just anything that doesn't make you fight against random chance. I don't mind playing against other people, and I'll gladly do that with other events without issue. It's just that this consecutive win event is more frustrating than fun. Also, I don't WANT to put the game down and ignore it during an event. That just feels bad in general, but that's what this sort of event makes me want to do.
