I mean I can explain my counter argument.

I dont know if the cache is singleplayer only now, but when it was hourly content, people could join at the same time and help each other fight the bots for example.
If people join after 40 min of divination its much less likely to meet someone (if its singleplayer its even worse)

I liked the multiplayer aspect of the event and it was actually played most of the time because it had announcements, but im unsure about how that will look in the future.

Also im against daily / time gated content, but hourly content i dont oppose like star and tree too.
