Ya, riddle's are time consuming and my anxiety is increased if I feel like there is a time limit to solve them, I literally spent hours on the first riddle until we got the second hint and even then it took me another hour or more), but some people love the challenge of treasure hunts and riddle's and aren't as happy with my favorite events ( find the Pengwings or easter eggs or gifting events) and there has to be a balance.(Which are your favorite events?).
It does help solve the riddles if the search engine on the unread page or forums page works on your device, sorry you are having problems with searching this time!
- [+] SPOILER
- On your link it sounds like you aren't happy with others trying to help you get the hints, would you rather not be helped? Maybe you just want to PM someone if you want help?
You've mentioned before that you don't always participate in all the events so maybe this type is one you don't want to join in so that you don't get so frustrated? There is nothing wrong with that. But I would warn you that if you are so frustrated that you are cursing and sounding despondent, then others will feel badly for you and be jumping in to help you out!
I think pretty well everyone on Windlyn likes to help each other out and doesn't like to see anyone discouraged or giving up or missing out. Maybe the other riddle's will go better for you, but if not...oh well... or ask for helpful hints like the rest of us and don't feel badly for getting help.
