forge of empires if i win the graveyard but hold onto it

I won the soccer field, the grand stand and the soccer cup, and I loved it, but when it came down to winning the Hippodrome, I just needed the upgrade to the Carceres since everything else was upgraded satisfactorily enough for me. I think Forge of Empires is truly gambling, and the soccer event led me to a bad place. I will never forgive, and never forget, and will never return to FoE. If my cat was killed, she did not deserve to die over my rage at FoE manipulation. The worst part is, I yelled so loud in frustration my 18 year old cat bolted out of the house and I have not seen her since and there was a bear roaming our neighborhood that night rummaging through the neighborhood. It wasn't 'random' at all- it was by design, and it was rigged so I would buy diamonds. So, good bye Forge of Empires no more tricks, traps, gambling, pay to win and/or time sinks for me. I could not complete the last 3 remaining 'negotiations' for two days, & when I did get the courtesy drinks they fell just short on the amount needed to make that last goal for the Carceres upgrade. I finally sent customer support a ticket to delete my account when I realized they had me trapped to complete 12 'negotiations' to earn more drinks to make it through the goal and get that last upgrade I needed on the Carceres, just to make the arena presentable at level 3.

So I had to continue on grinding away, and I won a ton of forge points and medals, all great, but still no chariot (slow grind for the Hippodrome/Spheredrome/Carceres, plus one track).

I won the soccer field, grand stand, and the FoE cup when I really really wanted the Hippodrome/Carceres (sp?) Spheredome, etc.
