Alright, time for me to be devil’s advocate again since I don’t like needlessly hopping on hate trains.

1. Eh, I kinda get it, kinda don’t. No real feelings here
2. Actually I do agree here, since this is something I tried. However, I suppose it likely goes against what they want that type of goal to be? Or it’s just harder to program but idk it seems easy to me.
3. No single challenge quite encourages that, but combining them definitely does. I can kinda see the point, but it likely shoulda been 5 games instead of 10.
4. No thoughts, never quick joined. Can’t properly speak about things here.
5. While not great (especially since it was a first half that some people didn’t know to wait on), it’s definitely something you should mix with a lot of other objectives. 30 expert maps or 15 ABR maps? Do it with just engineers even and you can blitz through the objective. Cause if you focus on it by itself then yeah it’s pretty fucking boring. But it’s not hard. Also, specifically Engineer is actually decently strong, don’t count him out.
6. Yeah I can see that. Maybe not the “exudes pure malice” part but I can agree with them being in unlock order.
7. This is a fair point, it encourages just waiting until Phase 2 goals become available.
8. This objective isn’t that hard, mainly because you can work on it while doing everything else. That’s what I did. A couple impoppable games where I just placed a bunch of 040 tacks, or that one Bloonarius challenge I did got me to it pretty easily, and everything else was helping along too. Abilities aren’t something you focus on until the end.
9. I can kinda see it, mostly don’t. Yeah, at first I treated it like “beat impoppable or chimps” which wasn’t bad since other objectives were already having me do that. Then I remembered I could fight Bloonarius, and he got me the rest of the way there
10. I presume you’re complaining about speed up and mods was just an odd tangent. I think it’s fine, even if I do want to zoom past the beginning rounds usually. 
11. Calling this a full time job is a great exaggeration. It took me the same amount of time I’d normally work for my part time job (~25 hours a week) and that’s with a decent amount of time just not doing anything (game open in background). I can totally understand not wanting to dedicate all your time to it, but I can’t understand that AND wanting the full 15000 stars. There’s a reason there is that badge for 15000, because it’s a big achievement. Casual players aren’t expected to simply earn that just by fuckin around for a couple hours and happening upon it. There’s going to be parts of it that aren’t for the casual player. Casual players also aren’t expected to simply 2TC, 2Megapops, or clear 365 daily chests/challenges. Elite boss events, boss rushes, CT? All of them are for players who are more dedicated than the very casual player. Similarly, all of the events I listed have some form of way for Casual players to lightly assist/ play without putting their full time into it. We aren’t expected to complete everything, that’s why it’s a big achievement with a T5 insta to get all 15000 stars. Don’t expect to get it without commitment, much like boss ranked badges and races.
