Assignments getting too difficult

Each new level is more difficult than the previous one but the tasks are doable.  You may need to expand your storage, spend some SimCash or Simoleons to get  more production slots and do some upgrades. Patience is needed too. 

The tasks I get (and hate) are like “produce 17 protein bars”.  Doing it once was interesting. I never attempted to it again, I either ignore or cancel such  assignments. 

I have a new favorite assignment (to be deleted as soon as I see it) - “Produce and collect 18 Carved Wood”. To produce that I would need 5x18=90 planks, …

I guess the game wants to teach us that we do not need to do every stupid task we are assigned. 

If I felt the  need to win the Grand Prize in Megapolis League I would produce the 18x Carved Wood, of course. 

I gave up trying to win the megalopolis league, to me it's a game to relax with, not a second unpaid job  😅  There's so much to do these days.

I usually stay in the Small Prize group.  However, when I get a lucky set of of milestone assignments (meaning I can finish all 3 tiers of each of them) I  try to win if I am not too busy in real life. 

I agree. I don't mind getting these assignments every now and then, but there's just so many of those assignments that are related to the newly permanent stores. There are times when I remove one of these new store assignments, complete another assignment and then I'll get the same one I previously skipped immediately after.

These new assignments are seriously reducing the amount of fun I am experiencing in the game. I've decided to just skip them from now on and if that means I won't be able to collect enough points for the Mayor's Pass buildings anymore, well... Then I see no reason anymore to buy the Pass in the next seasons. I'm a pretty heavy spender, but I'm nearing the point where I'm going to close my wallet.

Cause what's the point of buying a pass if you cannot reasonably get the rewards? At least not without doing assignments all day long, each of them consisting of multiple smaller production steps and which therefore take up to a day to complete without golden coins? I've been playing for years now so I won't quit playing entirely, but I'm not going to drive myself crazy with these assignments either. 

EA, please re-balance the assignments we're getting. It's perfectly understandable that you want to encourage players to use the new stores. But this is excessive. We shouldn't be getting carved wood and wool shirts every other assignment. 

I recognize your concerns. After buying two premium Mayor’s passes in a row, I decided to skip this round and be degraded from Megalopolis to Metropolis league. I am only participating in the Design Contest now, so that’s one busy moment in every 4-5 days instead of being permanently busy with challenging assignments. Very relaxing :-) 

I am a L99 Player so have pretty much everything you can get. However this assignment, which I did, was pretty rough. 18xTapestry 3 hours+(72 cloth, 36 Paint, 36 Glue(same shop) that's 144 Chemicals)). A very large proportion of my tasks are now based around the "New" shops and all are 2-3 hours final item with ridiculous input costs to make them. For those interested it took about 36 hours to do with no speed ups used. But I do play with two cities, the other L85. 

My mistake it took two days not one and a half days. I started on the Friday and finished on the Sunday.
