On a serious note, the boost period must have made SC a ton of revenue. I was only semi-active these weeks but I'm down over 300 gems of boosting. Buying gems under normal circumstances is not very tempting for a non-gemming player, since you need hunderds of dollars worth of gems to even begin to make some actual instant progress. These events are an incentive for a lot of players to buy a small gem pack because the effect on playability and fun is instant. Regular boosters and time/resource gemmers will gem regardless of this event.
Of course, I'm just speculating here.
But I hope we get to see a monthly return of similar events. Personally I think (not only hope, but think), it's tempting for SC to consider creating a monthly boost event. One weekend per month (3 days) of all 1-gem boost. This would give players something to look forward to and allow for hardcore farm-planning. I wouldn't be surprised if we see this recurring more and more.
