Change in value of turtle tokens?

I totally agree with everything you said. And we all have to go through the growing pains that you are going through now. My intent with my posts was to try to enlighten and encourage people to hang in there and dont give up. I have tried to share some knowledge that I have picked up along the way. There are many, many players far advanced from where I am at and what I have achieved in this game anyone else can achieve too if they take the time to research what others are willing to share. Your value as a human being is certainly not measured by how many sims you may have and I admire someone who has 4 million sims for example, but only for that feat. When I see someone who has more sims than I do, I stop and study their layout. I have spent countless hours reading others peoples posts, I have started over my city 3 times, once at 312K sims because I learned about a better way to do roads. I once hit 1 million simoleans, then spent more than half of those to rebuild my city until I got to 1 million sims. Those were goals I set. But along the way and yes I was frustrated with the game I never once considered quitting. We are all upset because the amount of tokens has increased for speed ups; when I started epics bronze were 3, silver was 6, gold was 9. And now who cares how many? Would you choose to go back to the way it was before speed ups. I think not. I earn about 1.5 gold per day, almost 4 silver per day and about 3.5 bronze per day. But I paid my dues to get there, just like you are now. And I disagree with your time estimates, i think my first gold took 6 hours, my first silver took 2 hours. One guy said he hit gold in under 60 minutes. One tip, dont be afraid of buying what you need on the Global Market, you dont get extra credit for making the stuff. Who cares if you spend over 100K in simoleans, you'll make it back. My biggest frustration with this game is in upgrading zones. How dare they ask for this many items? I say and to show them who is boss I dont upgrade. And who wins this battle? The bottom line is do what it takes to get through whatever you are working on, its why you play the game...right?

I wish someone had taken the time to give me a pep talk when I was struggling...Oh well, I wont be posting any more to this forum. I have decided to keep my opinions to myself...Happy mayoring!!
