It really did only need to be 1 day. They made it a week long to compensate for how barebone launch month(s) were, but they should've cut it back to 1 day the following years.
right? like, i get they made it as long as they did so that players would have enough time to gather up enough eggs, but... with how easy it is to find eggs (to the point that it’s actually annoying), we
really didn’t need a 6-day-long prep. it only takes like,, a couple hours tops to gather up enough eggs to craft every diy, get the easter basket, etc lol.
i get they took a similar prep-time route with halloween and candy, but that was much more tolerable and less in-your-face than bunny day and its eggs imo. with candy, having 31 days of prep made sense because you could only get candy one way — once a day from nook’s cranny. you could also create spare characters or visit other people’s islands to gather up more candy quicker, but still. it’d take a while. whereas with eggs you can get them from the sky, rocks, the ground, trees, practically any ‘fish’ that you try to catch is an egg, etc. plus, if you run out of eggs on your own island, you can visit however many nook mile islands you need to gather more.
we did not need a 7-14 day event! it’s bunny day, not bunny week/s.
