Converting Pretzels

Can someone confirm that the only way to convert the pretzels into the tokens is to ‘buy’ a limited number them from the  Community Bake thing? I have 31k pretzels (I have existing Art Nouveau buildings) and I can’t do anything with them? Is there no roulette or similar style game to convert? How am I supposed to generate the tokens to upgrade my fairground or buy buildings? 
Did the SimCity team not foresee this happening?

  • yes it's the only way, stop collecting pretzels, you'll not be able to convert more into tokens due to the cooldown time, it's made like that to make you nervous until you buy things with real money, just dont fall for it

    Yeah, its honestly pretty dumb and not balanced at all. So badly balanced that I assume its purposeful. And like the last person said, the reason for that is likely a cashgrab. 

  • Just like the last "season" the conversion ratio is terrible. It is as if the Kyoto season the ratio was way too much in the players favor allowing access to all rewards within the season. Last season I only was able to get 2 items on the gold ticket list and barely 2 of the landmark options on the other currency. Seems like EA developers do not want players to enjoy all rewards without paying real money

    I totally agree. The conversion rate is not balanced at all. It is even worser than the last season!
