Hey 2Claire2, did you read that they wait until the event is *completely* over before opening it? If that is the case then I guess they would definitely miss out on the rewards. As well as the opportunity to get to a high ranking while the energy cost is so low.

I usually (but not always!) wait until I have a few thousand of the access passes before I open it. Depending on real life, that can sometimes take me awhile. But once I open it with a full supply of passes it isn't very difficult to finish all the challenges in a day or so, even with all the other stuff I have going on.

A few of the reasons that I personally wait to open the room are:

1) I don't really want the room charged because it has such a small impact in that low energy room. But even if the impact was larger it would go wasted on me because,

2) I like to wait until I have a large amount of passes before opening the room. I find that it is much easier for me to learn the room by playing it over and over without having to stop in my tracks to go out searching for more access passes. I am always amazed when players have the avatars just a few days after the event starts because not only did they finish the event quickly, but they have already managed to collect all the access passes needed to do so! Gathering all the APs is the hardest part for me.

3) I think it is different now, but in the past I think there were less pop-up ads before opening the room then there were after you opened it,

4) there is usually a mini-event in the last few days and if you have waited until that point to do most of your play in the room you can "kill two birds with one stone" so to speak,

5) if you wait to start playing you are able to get the benefit of what other people have learned about the particular challenges of the room.

Even though I feel charges on the event room (and trophies) are wasted, I have still goofed up and accidentally charged them when visiting friends. Oh well, it is just a game, right? In the scheme of things none of this should make anybody too upset.
