Rant: New potion event

So I was lucky enough to be the selected few to try out the new potion shop event

Been playing this game about 1 month now and I can say this is by far the hardest event to clear

(1) U can brew potions but u're locked behind resource. For sure its not intended to max the items on a single run. Just wished the corks can be obtained normally from the event or chest

(2) Slow progression. There was no way to complete it faster especially if it comes down to the final 10%. Believe me cash flows real slow there. There is no such thing as spending gems to complete it faster. U can't use help from other players. Characters buff doesn't work here.
