The Event Outposts rile me somewhat. Whether they are £9.99, £7.99 or £4.99 we are still being offered a premium building which we part with a specific amount of cash for. It's easy to ignore them while not too much inspiring is being offered in the events, but nonetheless I dislike the fact that for the premium paid we are just being given the same standard throw-away expiring building.
I realise that it's all about making money, but dontcha think a lot more people would be willing to spend that money if the building was something new and unique which then offered something to make it worth keeping permanently? In the old days I remember buying the "Moon Mirror" just because I liked it. I deleted it anyway once I realised the graphics shutdown after the 30 day period. Since then I think we've had much the same "outpost" every event.
So... if I liked how the building looked in my city and if it offered a little temptation to make it worth keeping around (maybe a few extra population or maybe something that gives out a bit of mana every 24 hours - permanently) then I would have no qualms about paying a few pounds to get it, even if there was nothing I particularly wanted to win in an event.
I'm not sure if others agree, but I hope this can be passed along to the devs @Silmaril @Muf-Muf.
