Hi
Just saying - in one day?? I am at level 30 and yes I also manage to get 'dozer blades, security cameras etc. eventually.
The point, that you and the other ones who are saying you can get these items, are missing is that it takes hours and sometimes days of frustrating repeated clicking on unwanted items or trying to beat someone to it. Meaning you are trying to get around a major flaw in the game.
That is not good for a game and all people should stand together to get EA to fix the game because as it stands they DON'T CARE. It benefits them as people are inclined to go ahead and rather buy the wanted item - money for them.
In the meantime many people are getting frustrated and quitting - only the diehards who keep trying are posting here hoping for a solution (look at the posts). So the quitters don't post and simply fade off the scene, bad advertising for someone who asks about the game and loss of income from someone who may occasionally spend some cash.
I play games like these because I enjoy building, creating and watching my character/ house/ city/ nation grow but I am already looking around for better games, maybe even purchasing a game that is far less frustrating.
So EA is winning but losing in the long run.
Just saying.....
