[2022] I could really use that 10k coal about now...

Web-Based Events like the Easter Egg Hunt and the current event are done by hand. An Employee has to get all the relevant data pulled and then go about manually issuing rewards. This is why it takes much longer as opposed to something fully coded/automated.

It's not fun to wait a week for rewards, but it is nice to have an event that issues rewards done as a labor of love.
