SUGGESTION: Adjustment of Donation Limits in Communities

I recently joined a more active community ingame in order to guarantee getting all of the Neighborhood Watch rewards. However, while donating resources, I ran into an error where I couldn't donate ANYTHING to ANYONE in my community.

I talked with someone else in a forum about it, and apparently it's because there's a hard limit on how many Zen Garden resources you can receive from other players: 3, one of each type. As a result of communities having 15 members, that means that only 45 resource total can be gifted across a single community, meaning not every player will be able to donate the maximum of 5 resources.

THIS IS A MECHANIC THAT PUNISHES PLAYERS FOR BEING IN ACTIVE COMMUNITIES, AS IT ARBITRARILY LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF INTERACTION PLAYERS CAN HAVE BETWEEN EACH OTHER.

My suggestion would be to limit the amount of resources you can receive to 6, up to two of each resource, such that all 15 players in a community can donate up to 5 resources for a potential of up to 75 net donations.  Granted there would still be a limit with each player only able donate so many of a single resource, but this would make resource distribution more equitable among the 3 current resources.

Please like and/or respond to this post if you feel like this should be implemented into the final game. I feel like it would foster more interaction between players in communities, as opposed to hinder it.

  • If we are forced to upgrade with Zen Garden, there should be no limitations at all. If I have the Gems, why can't I spend them on Hearts? If I have Gems, why do I have to watch ANY Ads?! Extra Pot - Ads, Extra Hearts - Ads, Extra Plant Materials - gift, but limited, if an active Community. What is this?! This is really bad. Fix this!!
