I kind of agree with that as well, truthfully. The Garden Festival itself was amazingly fun, but the points were a bit odd. If someone missed events or were too busy to really participate in anything...that was quite a bit of points they weren't able to get as opposed to just missing a mini-game or challenge on occasion. 0_0;

...But it's not something that has a really ideal solution either (unless there were MULTIPLE Garden Festivals or something: like two per game in case someone who missed it once could have a chance to try it out later on in the game, but even then that would mean that some points weren't available...or it was similar to airship_lounge and DIDN'T have points but perhaps gill attached to it instead or was just for fun overall *is unsure*). It's a tricky situation, I think. *and that was probably really unhelpful, sorry!*
