Since you have a ton to read, I'll just keep this to the one thing that would be quick to change if you agree with it:
Why does the traveling merchant not sell Maze tickets for gold like last fest?
Right now, the only non-paid way to get into the Maze is the smidgen of a chance during Sylesti Seeking.
After the $24 I've spent on tickets and that supply bundle in the Diamond Shop, I really don't see a feasible way to get more tickets without putting more money into the game... which doesn't sit well with me that I feel pushed that direction and is making me way less likely to continue buying diamonds if that's how events are going to feel.
Otherwise, I'm glad you already adjusted Sylesti Seeking to be a bit more balanced. Liked that contests are back and all that. :P Nothing really stands out this fest as a noteworthy plus since it's so similar to last fest.

Oh! I had one more suggestion!
I'd LOVE it if seeking devices were discounted when you bought in bulk. It makes more sense, and its probably a better business strategy! XD
Thanks again Guys! <3

I've read some replies, so I'll try not to be too repetitive. :3
I'll admit, I'm one of the users who usually has a lot of spare time to spend on the site. I try to have around $20 for each fest, sometimes more, too. Overall I really enjoy this festival! More so than I have some in the pasts. I love the seeking feature, even if it is hard to get items. I thinkit smoothed out a lot of the issues I had with the plant feature, which was just not my favorite. Which I realize is a very unpopular opinion and that the preferences are switched around for most people.
My biggest thing is... I miss the Wheel. For me it was the star attraction of every fest. Tickets were easy to get, and while I think out of all the fests I only ever got three eggs from the Wheel itself, I always loved it. The philters, avatar items, essences... It was all such good stuff, and affordable as well. I spent some money on the maze last fest, and unfortunately won't be buying any ticket this time around because they're just too expensive to be worth it. 50 diamonds for a Wheel ticket was great for the chances of getting something good. 500 for the maze just... Isn't. And especially for me, not being able to get the maze-exclusive avatar items is killing me, last fest and this one. ^^
I also really, really miss the forum games. I totally understand how busy you two are, and it's no surprise, running this site yourself and setting up for the Megazone! I can't imagine anyone begrudges you guys for that. But there are a lot of members that have been around the site for a long time that are really active on the forum. I imagine there are plenty of trusted users who would love the opportunity to host the forum games like Frankenpet in your stead... Mysef being one of them honestly. I don't have the funds to get Mysterical essences for a user-run Frankpet like has been done sometimes, but even if you just gave permission to someone to host so many rounds and then later created the pets for the winning users, I think that kind of thing would be really, really awesome.

Okay, I know I already lodged my complaints on here, but I'd just like to echo what this user said Re: rarity.
I don't play for rarity. I don't collect for the thrill of having something rare. I hoard because I want to project the pets because I like the way the themes look. On a website with tens of thousands of registered users and hundreds who log on every day, making the rarity such that any given user is lucky to have a themed pet of any species at all takes the fun out of themes. I totally understand that there are many people who get a thrill out of competition and revel in the sense of accomplishment at having won a rare thing in a contest.
But I'm not one of those people. I just want a theme that I can find others of to make projects out of. I know not everybody can have a tagged, and I'm fine with that, but when there aren't even enough tagged to go around to make offspring with attractive vis, it's not fun for anybody. I have a Lucky Vulnix that's been sitting in my stable since March, smiling at me and being obnoxiously green, and I can't do anything with her because there aren't enough of her theme in her species. I did nothing special to get her except for pushing "accept" on a PayPal prompt, so I can't even claim a sense of accomplishment. If I hadn't paid actual real literal money that I could've spent on anything else in the world, I'd give her away.
Honestly, I buy diamonds because I like contributing to a website that gives me more enjoyment than most console and PC games I've shelled out $60 for. I understand that it's just the two of you running running this whole shebang, and I'm guessing it's y'all's main source of income, but I only use diamonds to buy more stables to store my breeding project hoard. That's it. That's what I'm here for. If I can't do that, I'll leave, and my money that would have been spent here will go with me.

Is it counted as cheating if people lay alot of eggs, nurture them, and then release them? It seems a bit unfair :/

Things I like
1) The avatar items are wonderful and I really like them.
2) The contest, though competitive, is really fun. I enjoy that you are able to get the pets through seeking as well so I don't feel so pressured to compete and disappointed when I don't win.
3) It is more time consuming but I love the fact that the seeking pets are harder to get. The challenge isn't too hard and it feels amazing when you can finally make your pet.
4) I always enjoy the extra forum games that happen during a fest.
Suggestions and things I miss
1) I enjoyed the maze. (to be honest though it is sort of nice to focus on other parts of the fest)
2) The spawn rate for bosses is really low. I don't like this as much because there is only so much time in the day. Being a school student, I fight the bosses maybe three or four times each day. The drop rate on items is good though so that is nice.
3) Site wide events are something I would like to see back for this fest. Working with everyone is really fun.
All in all I have enjoyed this festival so far and I thank you for all that you do for us 'normal' users. :D

Agreed id like the site wide events back :D that would be fun
Also sometimes when loading the missions it loads the other i click isors haven and it loads sanctuary. i usually a refresh fixes it.

the links im using to open them...
The drop rate on items such as av items is too high and the market is flooded with items
ALSO im glad that there is no releasing contest this month as one who loves sylestis as more than just pixel pets it made me kind of sad actually quite sad
Is it counted as cheating if people lay alot of eggs, nurture them, and then release them? It seems a bit unfair :/
Sadly, it doesn't seem to be against the rules. It's just a tactic to ensure a certain person can get nurtures while another doesn't and there's nothing that can really stop people from doing that. x:

i REALLY LOVE festivals!
However I am not a fan of the leader boards. its a GOOD IDEA however i dont think its fair that you can top the charts for more than 1 pet. I understand that players can spend TONS of time to get to teh top of the chats but WINNING more than 1 3vis special pet is unfair. there are only 21 species and over 7,000 players.
I had FUN in the last festival but lost out on winning a pet and the winners had topped the charts in other areas.
It might be better that once a person topped the chart in one pet first that is the pet they are stuck with unless someone else beats them. if they top in more than one then the first they achieved is what they get and they get 'skipped' for the other pets.
This way they still get a festival pet (HARD TO ACHIEVE) and others get a more fair opportunity to get one.
