Meh. "Last event" and the event before hardly qualify as examples to gauge the amount of resources required for a large scale event. It's like comparing cherries to watermelons. Not to mention those events were piss easy in difficulty and on resources with its light fleet requirements.

A real comparison would be to look at Summer 2015, where some people even had to throw reel money at the screen in the last days for extra resources to clear E7. (Remembering that certain streamer) Running three and a half real combined fleets, not the transport escort cheap bullshit, put a real strain on your resources. (Half because E2 was easily clearable with just CAs and Ise-class even on hard)

That being said, yes crap ships and equipment will ruin you, but so can a lack of resources in a large scale event. Therefore a balance of levels and resources is important with appropriate expectations. It is foolish to gauge future events resource consumption on the past piss easy, short ones.

But... Then again, this is only Spring, not Summer where the JP students have their school holidays. Remembering last Spring's event, this could very well just be another piss easy giveaway event so that most people can have their Iowa handout without much effort.
