Getting all rewards from events requires you to play at precise intervals, or else spend premium currency.
Besides merging items, which is certainly tedious, dragging things around the map is another repetitive task as tile space becomes an issue quickly.
Timers are very short for the first 1-2 weeks of play. After that point, they increase very quickly, often upwards of 24 hours.
