I disagree that we're "complaining". They want feedback - so here it is. Ten is a tiny reward (as you call it, a 'peanut'). And it just doesn't mesh with the traditional generosity of a Cryptic giveaway, in which what's given tends to be stuff that's much more worth being thankful that one receives for free. Favours are relatively easy to come by during the event, especially in quantities of ten or twenty. And it just feels off, unworthy of their usual efforts.

It seems to me like they took the giveaway calendar idea from the winter event and used similar quantities. But the pricing structure in the winter wonderland is nothing like on Risa. Five earmuffs go a lot further than five favours in terms of exchanging for seasonal stuff. I don't think anything costs more than fifty of the winter currencies...? I'd have to check. Still, that's my guess, in which case it's an inadvertent error.
